Two players who I thought deserve special mention for yesterday are Jacobson and Joyce.

Jacobson had his best game yet that I have seen, including his first spell with the club. And Joyce as well proved what a valuable member of the squad he is. I personally would put Joyce on every teamsheet as he is one of those players who just quietly gets on with doing his job and seems to be involved with every part of the game, offensively and defensively. And his mums called Joyce. Maybe.

It wasn't a good game, and we struggled to find any cohesion against a resolute Torquay side who had come to defend the game (but yet still threatened our 18 yard box too many times). But what I did find impressive was our work rate. Without any real moments of pressure to build up a head of steam we still kept going and still chased everything down and still kept probing away, I dont think the sending off did us any real favours and the outcome of the game was always likely to be the same, 0-0, until one special moment from Craney. I'm not his biggest fan but the last two games have proved his worth and that he is one of those players who can find goals like that. Other than the goal he also was unlucky with a couple of efforts after fantastic turns in the box, one he couldnt quite get past his man and the other he was not at his best with the shot.

All in all though that was one for the 'win ugly' box I think, but it was a very important 3 points against one of the teams who will have an eye on a play off place still - get off it, it's ours!
