    3 points is 3 points. There is that age old adage of "it's a sign of a good side when you can play poorly and win". We played poorly and won. IMO there is a good side in there, we're not there yet though.

    They had the best of both the first and last 10 minutes of the first half. In between we were far better than them. Well worked corner that saw Buchanan head back towards the near post (near in respect to the corner) where Gregory was waiting, unchallenged to nod home. Then we saw Kaz a his best. Good pass to Gregory from Waggy, LG lays it back into the path of Kaz who, well, simply smashed with pace and accuracy, in off the bar giving the keeper absolutely no chance whatsoever.

    Their reply started with a foul on LG which, like so many fouls they committed, wasn't given. That was one of only two shots on target they had.

    2nd half they had more possession, pressed us into our on half without ever looking like scoring. We had a couple of decent counters but that was it. Not much of a spectacle but a deserved ground out win.

    Marshall not a lot to do but effective in what he did
    Byrne had a decent game
    Wisdom found himself out of position a few times but solved most of the situations himself, the rest were sorted by Clarke
    Clarke had a decent game
    Buchanan defended well, had an assist but probably his worst game yet in an attacking sense
    Wagstaff better defensively than attackingly
    Shinnie was not at his normal standard
    Knight idem ditto
    Jozwiak seems to have lost his attacking mojo seeming to get into a fight with the ball every time he gets on a run. Went over a little too easily a few times and the one that sticks out the most was the edge of the area one where there was a touching of arms. 2 more strides and thre was the chance of a good shot. Stay on your feet lad.
    Kazim great goal but his worst overall game in a Rams shirt. Poor control and misplaced passes.
    Gregory not perfect but very good and my MOTM with a goal, an assist and top all round play.

    The ref? Certainly not a homer. At fault for their goal although I'm not too unhappy with it as I forecast 2-1
