I think Mahon & Vine were our best players, Routledge was busy, but is the sort of player that needs a right back to help him, Helgusson was an outlet & did OK today, led the line.
Taarabt, I think he is a showpony & a cheating one at that, plays for himself & not the team: not the sort of player that is going to get us out of this division IMO.
Vine is a leader upfront & that is what we have been missing, Mahon was a leader in the middle & is a good hustler & a very competent player at this level no matter what some might have you believe, Stewart & Gorkks off leadership at the back although the defence wasnt commanding today.
We need more leadership in our team, & we saw some today, I would rather take a warhorse over a showpony anyday of the week, its what wins you a lot of matches in this division, not fancy flicks & tricks, no matter how pretty they may be, Cook was involved today & worked hard, but there is still very obviously a fitness issue going on there.
Vine is such a fantastic player, that he seems to get players heads up just by his presence, I cant really explain it, but just his mere presence on the pitch seems to involve the other attacking players, today wasnt a vintage Rowan Vine performance by any stretch of the imagination, but he is clearly a special player.
Their player Sodje should have been sent off for what he did to Gorkks, I was right in line with it & if he didnt elbow him, then he definately led with his arm & he should have walked for that, I saw exactly what happened & it was unpleasant.
Full credit to all of the players today, they could easily have gone the other way after going two nil down, but they stood up & showed a lot of fight & responsibility today, MOTM for me, I would give it to either Mahon or Vine.
