Interesting that Sheaf is now ahead of Godden in captain pecking order.

Thought Thomas was excellent but made a poor header downwards and in field - just clear it. Sheaf was excellent but was partly at fault for first goal when he could have cleared and then needless freekick conceded.

Very disappointing. Why not use fresh legs?! Collins handling is poor. Think Palmer was taken off 10 minutes too soon. Looked dangerous. Missed his physical presence. Not sure why Bidwell didn't come on. If he doesn't start next match it will be even more bewildering.

Carrying too many players. 3 subs needed soon.

Palmer has been excellent. Looks a real threat. Explosive with the ball. Wright looks closer to his price tag. Playing with more belief and a great finish. They will continue to target Da Silva. Luckily, their player Parker hasn't done much with the diaganols.

Bidwell on half time

Odd line up. Appreciate players may be feeling tired but replacing both fullbacks at a time without Kitching is a risk. Hopefully it works out.

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
