van Stappershoef Terrific game grew in confidence as game went on reflected in performance 8.5 MOTM

Ehmer Played Ok, hard to work out if he is a better full back then centre half, I think he will come good as a Centre half but for now solid at RB 7
Kilgour great goal, lost his man a couple of times but also looked more controlled on the ball 7
Baldwin Worked hard, he is there to defend which he does generally well, his distribution is a little hit and miss. 7
Leahy Not his number one fan but today he played well and pick of the defenders 7.5

Grant covered lots of ground and battled hard, not his best game 7
Upson Polished performance, rarely lost the ball and tidied up well 8

Westbrooke Deserved his goal some great touches around the field, not the best tackler we have had but makes lots of interceptions and closes down well 7.5
McCormick worked hard and creative, good goal. 8
Nicholson Sheer class, some fantastic touches, just needed a goal 7.5

Hanlan not at his best but worked hard 7

Subs: Ayunga what a miss at the end 6.5
Hargreaves set up the last goal 7
Barrett NOLE

Ref kept the game going didn't give much to us but neither to them 7
Plymouth Never thought they would beat us. 6

van Stappershoef 9 Excellent game and proved that forum members are too quick to write players off

Ehmer 7 steady game - nothing spectacular
Kilgour 8 Well taken goal and unlucky not to get a second. Looking much better in his natural position
Baldwin 7 Solid for the most part
Leahy 7 Looked a little shaky defensively after Moore came on. But brilliant for the 3rd goal.

Grant 7 Good game...nothing spectacular and if he cuts out the stray passes will develop as a very good player
Upson 8 Very good link up play...getting back to his best

Westbrooke 8 Looked very creative
McCormick 8 Well taken goal - love the way he can burst forward
Nicholson 8 The most skillful of this creative trio...a pleasure to watch. Rare to see his skills at this level

Hanlan 7 No problem with effort and a little unlucky with tat shot that went just the wrong side of the post

Subs: Ayunga 5 Still looks very raw, but good experience for him. Pity about that shot near the end!
Hargreaves 6 steady
Barrett 6 Did he touch the ball?

Ref 6 kept the game flowing
Plymouth 5 Not as bad a the scoreline suggests and if one of their excellent chances had been taken in the first half the story could have been very different

Van Stappershoef 7.5 some good saves and catches

Ehmer 6.5 steady and reliable
Kilgour 6.5 great header but he was all at sea in the first half, better in 2nd
Baldwin 8 very good. seems more determined, passed it well
Leahy 8 very good. thought his decision making was spot on.

Grant 7 Mr reliable
Upson 8 very good, unlucky when he hit the post. seems to pop up everywhere lately

Westbrooke 7.5 great to see him score, made some very good runs
McCormick 8 lovely finish, looks so cool on the ball
Nicholson 8.5 was fairly quiet 1st half, but became more of a threat in the 2nd. scared their backline frequently as the game wore on.

Hanlan 7 good game, close to scoring with his lefty effort.

Subs: Ayunga 5 oh dear, what a shot !
Hargreaves 6 did quite well, tidy play.
Barrett

Ref 7 let a few fouls go for both sides.
Plymouth 7 weak at the back, but they carved us open frequently in the first. God knows how they didn't get at least one.

We were quick out of the blocks today and scoring first made all the difference. The 1st half was a brilliant advert for L1 football. We were exciting going forwards and so were Plymouth. The 2nd was mor about keeping Plymouth out, but we woke up a bit when the subs came on.
