    A lot better so far than what we've seen recently.

    Not sure where this intensity and impetus has been most of the season

    Great performance so far- should have had even more!

    Mael has been a man possessed today. Brilliant!!

    Most competent half in a while.

    Some poor decisions in the final third but better overall on the whole.

    MDG mom so far

    Fair play to MDG. I've been critical of him this season but he's been excellent so far. Hope he keeps it up.

    Massively improved. 1 goal is never enough with our defence though. I reckon we need at least 1 more to win this game.

    Liking Farrugia more each time he plays. Looks a great pick up, real threat down that left hand side. Finally seems to be the Cadden replacement we've needed since summer.

    Where’s this team been for the last 7 months? Great first half getting stuck in, need another 45 like that!

    A decent first half. Much more movement and pace. No standing around, waiting for the ball like statues.

    Funnily enough I think Russell has had an off game by his standards so far, mis-placing passes. Yet he goes and scores a wonderful goal. Rodriques has looked lively albeit he needs to have pop rather than pass it back. Farrugia had looked decent. Humphrys, he's not one to get his head up and look for players is he.

    Promising though, if they don't sit back for 45 minutes. Later on I would expect maybe Dextor on for O'Keeffe and Lewis for Rodriques.

    Missed the last 10 minutes of the half due to technical issues but that's the best I've seen us play in a while. Only negative are the wing backs but I'll take another 45 minutes of that please. Keep it up Darren and don't go thinking your Pep.

    Better. Much more aggressive and desire.

    At times some of our passing remains utter bilge, but it's a more enjoyable watch than recent performances.

    Still, only 1 goal in it doesn't do much to help the ol' ticker like

    Imho...I've enjoyed that.
    We have played a lot more football than of late and just looked better.
    Still there are mistakes and Pines is a worry...long way to go in this one their defence looks as bad as ours but I can't fault our application one bit.
    Mdg best player by a street mile in first 45....noble mentions for, Humphries and Nwakali.
    Same again 2nd half please.

    Much more intensity than I've seen from them for pretty much all of the season. Let's see if they can keep it up... or if they burn out.

    Good job it went in too as there was about 4 completely open waiting for a pass

    Credit where credit is due, playing well. Pines still scares me but so far so good.
