Murdoch - Off day for Sean. Nervous coming for crosses and made some mistakes, made one good save though. Coley visibly unimpressed. Think Bavs will start Tuesday.
Murphy - Calm, composed and effective. I think full back is his best position. Very good game Pete, well done.
Hessey - Great game. Rallied the troops, showed great distribution and scored a cracking goal. Man of the match for me.
Long - Had a tough fight against Rankine but won on points. Again composed. These solid performances have become the norm for big Kev.
McIntyre - Struggling to think of positives. He did make a few decent challenges and fired in a couple of difficult crosses for the Shots to think about, but he leaves us so vulnerable in his area of that pitch. Eager to get forward but lacking pace and the defensive mindset to get back. Murph on the right and Deano on the left please Mr C.
Procter - 400th appearance not a flashy one by any means (though could've been had that volley gone in) but a good graft against a talented Aldershot midfield.
Joyce - Shots won the midfield battle in the first half but we took over in the second. Luke broke up and linked play well. Always available.
Coid - Not fully fit but clearly a different class. Reads the game better than any of our lads; probably better than anyone in this league. Here's hoping he can get to 100%. That attacking position is good for him.
Craney - Showed in the second half what we've been craving from him this season. Grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and became the focal point for our play. Build on this Ian.
Amond - Podge struggled really. Looked a bit off the pace and missed that sitter. Didn't step up with the rest in the second half. Just an off day.
Fletcher - Looked bright and threatening early on but tired far too quickly. An injury or just the heat, I don't know. Hope he gets back to his best on Tuesday.

Subs Barnett, Lindfield and Guthrie played really well. Charlie obviously scored a quality goal but Kurtis and Craig both looked threatening. Encouraging signs there.

Real game of two halves. Comical defending in the first half for both teams and some top goals. Can understand why Coley didn't enjoy it but I loved it. We showed great character coming from behind twice. Think the main thing is to build on this and definitely improve the way we start games. The progression is clear for all to see though. Good stuff Accy.
