For me.....a good honest and reasonably solid performance. Hit early with a sucker punch ( albeit a cracking finish ) against the run of play, but showed more than enough resilience and character to grind out a win.
Don't get me wrong....I'm not getting giddy with seven unbeaten, but for me at least, in recent weeks and since the upturn in form and fortunes, we've shown enough to suggest that we'll be able to put the worry beads away a long time before the season comes to it's business end.
The lads are beginning to really tick. Early doors..... before the sucker punch, I don't think Torquay could live with our pace and movement. With no cup distractions and a few more positive results, this team could really make a concerted drive to get into the upper reaches of League 2.
That said, all it takes is a couple of defeats and we're looking over our shoulders again.....although it's wonderful to be now looking down at a few rather than up at the rest !!!
Big Odejayi is a wonderful and powerful focal point, Bowerman looks like a reasonable foil, at times we can move the ball around quickly and get the ball wide and get in behind full backs.
Plenty of reasons for optimism and to look forward to the rest of this season.
One personal wish.....James Beattie..... get on the phone to Peter Taylor at Gillingham and persuade him to let Linganzi come back North.... either on loan or permanently......
With a powerful player like him in midfield we could really kick on up the league !
