Can you confirm time of first goal, Martin.

I looked at clock just after the goal and it said 63mins 03 sec, and BBC has 64 mins

it's already in the report just for you Pete!!!

By the way, for those interested in such things, the goal was scored after 62 minutes 57 seconds, and hence recorded as 63 minutes, despite me incorrectly calling it as 64 minutes during match commentary.

For your man of the match shortlist challenge I'd go for Logan. Mellis did well, but was only on the pitch for a short time. Perhaps you need a poll to decide the winner.

Will Tomlinson for me for his overall work rate followed by Krystian Pearce, Conrad Logan and Tyler Walker.

I went for the following:

Will Tomlinson 8.5
Tyler Walker 8
Krystian Pearce 8
Conrad Logan 8
Matt Preston 7.5
Jacob Mellis 7
Neal Bishop 7
Mal Benning 7
Alex MacDonald 7
Ryan Sweeney 7
Ben Turner 7
CJ Hamilton 6.5
Gethin Jones 6.5

Can’t fault this TTF

In fact looking back I did give Jacob Mellis a 7.5 because of his assist for the goal.

Thought Sweeney was far better than Turner.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

Ben Turner did not do much wrong in the first half. He won two or three headers and made a couple of good tackles. He also deflected a shot wide for a corner.

The advantage that Ryan Sweeney gives you though (apart from having more pace) is that he is more comfortable on the ball and therefore not scared to move into the opposition's half which helps us get up the pitch a lot more. He often takes up positions which are 10-15 yards further up the pitch. I suppose he is more relaxed about chasing back to defend any balls over the top because of his pace.
