I would not be dropping Bidwell for Da Silva. He will be desperate to play v former club and has been solid since coming in to the team. All of the back 4 are decent in the air. That changes if Da Silva comes in. I can only see him figure as a sub if we keep a back four.

Definitely missed the presence of Sheaf.

Not a great performance. Luck currently on our side defensively. A couple of quality moments and 3 points bagged. What an excellent December. Think Kitching would have to be the Dali Lama not to react to that onslaught of head butting!

Scrappy but some decent patches. Is Latibeudiere the new Lloyd McGrath? Breaking up play really well. Sakamota sublime. Wright looking more confident. Definitely has the beating of the right side. Think Simms for Godden would be good to give us more pace on the break.

So many contenders. Bidwell has to be up there - so dependable. However, if recent performances continue, then Kitching, Sakamota and O'Hare would be vying. Van Ewijk, Sheaf, Eccles and Thomas all in the mix.

Thought Wright did well offensively in the main but he was flagging after 70. He also left Bidwell very exposed at times. Can't fault him for his contributions to the goals so maybe deserving a higher score.

I like Allen but thought he was poor last match and again today. His passing was not to standard. If Sheaf is fit for Boxing Day, I would expect Eccles to come in for Allen.

If we get O'Hare and Bidwell signed up and bring in a quality midfielder in January, I would be happy.

Wow. Fantastic result. Not sure we were deserving of a clean sheet. Definitely a little lucky. That Roberts should have been booked for a blatant dive. He did exactly the same in a match last week. Not penalty given then too and no yellow card.

Wish we had Kelly on the bench instead of Ayari

Solid half. Wright holding the ball better. Definitely improving. Allen has really struggled but needs to step up with Sheaf off the pitch. Van Ewijk and Sakamota causing more problems than Clark so far. Long may it continue. Bidwell sticking to Roberts like glue. What a solid defender.

Can't fault the battling qualities. Point an excellent outcome considering.

Latibeudiere harassing well and break up play. A Kelly-type performance.

Decent performance. Need to maintain focus at the back, as one error can easily undo the good work. Simms looks quite good on his own. Looking a bit stronger on the ball and his pace is there to see. I would like to see Wright on for Da Silva on the hour.

I had him at a 5. Thought it was his worst performance for a long while. However I thought he stepped up with the injection of energy from the bench and was close to getting us the winner had it not been for a top draw save, hence his 6 rating.

Thought Robins got the tactics spot on. Just a shame he didn't make the changes 10 minutes earlier. If only we had been a bit more clinical.
