Back to winning ways! Up to five players from last night please.

This could be interesting to see how people has seen the game. I believe it was a fantastic team effort.

Waters - his closing down of their back four was first class and often goes unnoticed. Plus his well taken goal.
Buse - was given a marking task to stop what was perceived to be to be their main threat. Stuck to this task and did the simple things well.
Hall - well taken penalty and commanded the midfield.
Sherring - won everything and his ball distribution was first class.
Lewis - commanding and strong. Along with Sherring ensured the ball at his feet was well used.

Special mention for Hamon, having conceded collected the final cross with assurance, fell to the ground - three points

Hall
Randell
Waters
Lewis
Sherring

Waters: for his perseverance as a thankless lone striker and putting away his chance with great finishing technique - a real match winner.
Buse: Work tirelessly for the team - put a real shift in over the 90mins - pleased for him.
Hall: Captain Marvel - commanded the midfield play - real workhorse
Randell: Whats not to like about this boy - just disappointed his contract is with Argyle rather than with us.
Macdonald. This choice will be controversial. Commanded his goal and keep Moors at bay for 94 minutes - then committed Kamikaze (but in my books took one for the team - made the sacrifice for the benefit of the team and the win - although I know many will disagree.)

Asa Hall Very rare for a player to score 3 goals from the spot in 2 games. MOTM for me.
Billy Waters. I was very impressed with his quality finish under pressure from 2 defenders which was match winning.
Sam Sherring. Did very well. Fully committed to the cause.
Joe Lewis. Centre Back his best position.
Matt Buse. Great effort. Deserves all the praise he will get for this terrific performance.

Shaun MacDonald.Gary Johnson said neither Shaun nor Gary knew that the ref had booked Shaun for the first yellow. I wonder what the highlights will reveal?

Totally agree with you Mellow on Shaun Mcdonald.

certainly disagree RE McDonald

you say he commanded his goal, did he make a save? i dont recall anything of note. He first came to attention when he fumbled the ball which was given for a corner rightly or wrongly getting him booked for kicking the ball away

Ive seen the replay of the sending off, he is never in a month of sundays getting there especially against a 6ft 9" striker. The ball is in the air with a defender next to him the chances of the striker being able to control and shoot well were low.

unfortunately its not the first time, whether he gets bored/wants to be the hero/cant read the play im not sure but he charges out of his goal far too often, sometimes getting the ball but the risk is always there and it never looks like hes in control. For me hes not learnt from his mistakes.

I agree with that. He is rash. Sometimes that can be to the teams benefit but not most of the time. He does need to learn.
