As above but Cisse an 8 and Clay a 6 ( docked 1 for the pointless yellow card')

+1 for Brophy. Nobody got past him at left back.

Since his mistake against Grimsby he’s been much better at LB. Is he the new Charlie Daniels?

Looking at that back 5 it certainly looks solid enough . That's a good defence .

Marv was brilliant.

Thankfully the transfer window is closed!

Marsh and Brophy have been excellent at full back and it shouldn’t be changed. I don’t rate Brophy as a winger. You never got 90 minutes from him. At full back he can’t hide and he can link up with the winger. I have been a critic of his in a forward role , but fair play to him now in a defensive role he has been excellent

Kent Teague said before the game we'd had offers for players but none that were acceptable. Would assume Ekpiteta was one of those.

Would be a plus if we could convince him to sign a new deal. Stick in a relatively low buyout if it gets it done.

In a strange coincidence Ekpiteta's brother scored for Ebsfleet and Beutyman for Sutton .

The result was always going to be more important than the performance in a genuine six pointer. Having watched our last three games this was probably our worst performance but we have bought ourselves a mid-table finish (probably) and will win more games this season with these players. Nuff said.

Vigouroux 6 - was in favour of him coming in as Sergeant's confidence is shot. All the saves he made would have been expected. Doesn't have a right foot and his kicking was as bad as Sergeants (the wind could be used as an excuse)
Marsh 6 - okay performance, a bit more conservative than recently and reasonably solid at the back
Ekpiteta 7 - tie with Brophy for best defender. Returning to his old form
Happe 6.5 - didn't have much to deal with but not as confident as he has been lately
Brophy 7 - starting to look a natural WB, very little gets past him, his tackling is solid and he linked up well with JMD in the second half
Cisse 7.5 - four games in ten days must be taking its toll but still our best midfielder. always there to cover when our CBs got dragged around
Wright 7 - decent performance, can't say that every week
Clay 6.5 - stupid booking and a fair bit of huffing and puffing (his usual game)
Maguire-Drew 6.5 - very quiet in the first half but linked up well with Brophy in the second half
Sotiriou 8 - the lad has an engine and a football brain. was all over the pitch, always wanted the ball and linked up well with Wright for the first and Wilkinson for his second
Wilkinson 7 - needs a goal but, for me, looks a class above L2 with his hold up play and distribution

Angol 6.5 - somebody else who needs a goal but did okay when he came on
Johnson 6 - didn't see much of him
