I was keeping a bit of an eye on him today. I was going to say he played well. And sure enough, he ended up getting man of the match, and was well worthy of it. He didn't put a foot wrong (at least when I was watching), he was assured, solid in the tackle, and his distribution seemed fine today. My only quibble is I'm still not quite sure how to pronounce Digie or what would be a good song for him (one Kenny Digie maybe?!). He may not be Hannigan, but he's jolly good, and it'd be a pity if he ended up like Tom Peers, not getting the credit he deserves.
As for the match itself, I thought we were genuinely unlucky today, and just didn't get the rub of the green. There was plenty of attacking play pushing for an equaliser, we hit the bar, and I still don't know how we didn't score that late chance (though admittedly Torquay probably should have scored from close range too). We conceded a couple of sloppy goals, perhaps understandably with an experimental back line, but that will sort itself out in time, and I still think we have enough to stay up barring disaster, and maybe even improve on last season (which, by the way, must never be repeated).
