Really thought that every player gave their all today including the substitutes. Leadbitter had a good game but his crossing was very poor. Their goal was the one bit of poor defending by Tom lockyer. As regards to Montano just watch the amount of running he did and ground covered as well as setting up the first goal and probably robbed of a goal by his own player getting in the way of his shot. Personally I thought Chris Lines had a very good game but various comments made shows just how differently people can see a performance. Agree completely with the last bit, as (apart from the assist) I don't see what Montano brought to the team today. Running around a lot isn't enough (especially as most of it was done when they had the ball and not us), his passing was shocking at times and for a 'big' player he doesn't win his share of 50:50s....surprised he wasn't brought off sooner as it wasn't up to his recent starting performances at home. Still, all turned out well in the end...

Really, when? I remember him chipping the ball to the keeper when it would've been easier to play Taylor in clean through on goal first half and the countless times he gave possession away, both Lines and Mansell had an off day today, you're right it wasn't until Darrell beefed up the midfield that we stopped getting overrun. Gaffney put a massive shift in today, a goal and he might've been in with a shout for MOTM imo. Chris Lines was the one player who put his foot on the ball and kept possession while at times others were just lumping the ball up-field to the likes of Gaffney who, as usual, lost every ball in the air. It is funny how we see things differently as I thought that for about 60 minutes this wasn't Lines game. He is a player who likes freedom and whilst he now puts a shift in as a battling midfield player he gets overrun and tries a constructive pass when you just need to blast it clear. When Ollie came on and we had a more steely duo in central midfield , Lines was able to play in front of them with the space he needs and suddenly he looked a better player
