Couldn't agree more. Sax was great - so determined and focussed in his defending. It's actually a total joy to see Sax making it back to form and fitness at our club. Symbiotic! Just a lovely fit

Think it helps that we are where he's had his longest run of games, in both spells. He's a very Stevenage player

Thought the back 5 played very well on the whole. We were far to passive 1st half, and allowed them to dictate the game. 2nd half we really pressed high up the pitch, and got our reward. Excellent tackle by Harvey that led to the winner. Looked a different team. If only we would play that way for 90 minutes. Starting to see a partnership forming between Reidy & Phillips.
I would like to see us play 1 DM at home with creative players either side.
Other than that, we move on to Burton - Won't be easy !!

Our back five didn't play well. Saxon did. And Pidge. And Marschall made one very good save.
But...
Goode couldn't pass for toffee all game.
Jasper was run ragged first half.
Luther was rusty and gave the ball away a lot.
Our right side was woeful first half.
Better second half but take off those rose coloured specs.

Goode has been shit the past month (gave away a penalty at Northampton, gifted Huddersfield a goal they fortunately didn't take, and was awful today, just for starters) yet people always ignore that because he isn't Sweeney, and make out he is the most amazing defender in the world.
It's weird.

Yeah, largely agree with this. Pidge, Sax superb. Charlie had an utter stinker on the ball, but tbf defended doggedly when required. Luther not as composed as normal. Think they targeted Jasper a fair bit, but he stuck at it. (Was worried we'd see Jasper give another penalty away...)

Agree and let's hope he can stay injury free. He has had enough bad luck.
