Defending was indifferent at times for us. Stockdale had a good game but Goodison put in an inconsistent display, missing a key header which eventually led to their goal whilst he also put in some good tackles at other times.
Our midfield was strong and even Sherriff looked ok on the wing, although I still don't like him! Myrie-Williams was superb whilst my man of the match, Jennings, was immense. In the second half especially he was terrific. He made so many key tackles and got forward really well - 'keeper made a great save from his free-kick too.
Zola was only just second to Jennings though, a brilliant display from him whilst Gareth Taylor grew through out the game, and in the last 20 minutes he won some good headers and played some superb lay-offs.
That win and a further three points against Gillingham puts us right back up there.
