I’ve seen nothing of the match live myself so trusting the old stats which show Boyd-Munce clear ahead of everyone else on the pitch.
Morley putting in a solid performance too on his 2nd debut.

Interestingly Fotmob has the Mansfield goalkeeper a close 2nd to Boyd-Munce. I guess that’s a good sign when we haven’t scored.

CBM was the stand out for us today.

Honourable mentions to the back 4 as well as Morley

Boyd-Munce in the middle of the park, Boyd/Munce.

For me it was a toss up between him and Casey who has become an absolute giant.

CBM was the best player on the pitch today, but another shout-out for the ever consistent Dan Casey who once again didn’t put a foot wrong.

For 15-20 minutes Junior looked like running away with it but after a while he ran away with it too much.

Yep, CBM for me, neat midfield passing, some decent tackles when needed and still trying to make things happen from an attacking perspective.

I voted for Morley because I’ve been waiting a year to do so, but I CBM is a worthy winner.

Voted CBM. Thought Huggins did really well when he come on.

100% CBM.

Voted for CBM - excellent game and deserves his place in the team.

Boyd-Munce was superb today. His partnership with Morley is going to be epic.

Yes and add Henderson to those two and we have an amazing midfield three, with Leahy, Harris and Mullins pushing to get in and hopefully Scowen when he is fit.

Can’t wait for Lowe to join the squad and hopefully get Sammy Bell back as well.

I think all the lads were excellent today. CBM, Morley, Junior, Allen, Casey and Harvie were standouts.

For Huggins looked bloody brilliant when he came on. He’s got some afterburners on him!

Mullins was also great when he came on. And Luke was Luke when he came on. Absolutely sold.

Harris was hit and miss, but I think he will come good.

CBM put that wonderful curler in, and Cauley should have scored that header.

Duff is building a great team.

Yeah, I really think if we could see a settled attacking line-up, we would see a lot more from Harris.

The talent is clearly there but he’s not quite bedded into the team yet, that’s obviously not his fault but I hope we can get better on the attacking front in the second half of this season.

Voted for Harvie simply because he does so much so often so well.

I agree that Duff is building a very good team and his focus on only signing players who improve the match day squad is refreshing.

We now have - Harvie, Morley, Henderson, Boyd-Munce and Fred, all 5 are exceptional at this level. Add to that Casey and Anders who are both settling into the 11.

Once Lowe joins us and we get Sam Bell back (:folded_hands::folded_hands:), we will be a formidable team in this league.

I haven’t forgotten the one and only Josh Scowen who will be another excellent addition when fit.

Then we have Leahy, Mullins, Allen and Harris who are all strong squad members.

CBM deserved to win the vote but I chose Harvie, he had an excellent match, a solid defender and a supplier of dangerous crosses that, sadly, nobody took advantage of. In 50+ years of WW left backs, I think I would put him just behind JJ, although Dan is probably the better defender, certainly quicker. He is very assured on the ball, very good in tight situations. JJ has the advantage of scoring goals and supplying wicked set balls.

One thing I have noticed in the past few games is that he has not been Mr Angry, remonstrating much with his teammates, if at all. I don’t know if that was a conscious decision, or he just didn’t need to. I really enjoy watching him play. Keep on doing what you are doing, Dan!

I haven’t got that quite right, have I ?

Could someone (@Malign perhaps) remind me please of the St Mirren version. Was it ā€œin the middle of our teamā€? It could also be modified for More Lee and Hen Dough.

Three player ā€˜songs’ for the price of one.

Please make it happen.
