home vs Torquay (currently 23rd with 39pts, we have 65pts)
S: Showunmi/Blinkhorn/Tarachulski
AMC: Bridge-Wilkinson
DMC: Johnson/Chambers (with up arrows)
D: Davis/Williams/Coyne/Foley (full backs with up arrows)
GK: Murphy

That 23rd place for Torquay feels weird and make me nervous. They used to be at the top last season, giving us trouble...

32nd minute: Kevin Foley is too aggressive, getting way out of position pursuing one of their wingers. That leaves a man wide open behind him, they score, we're down 0-1.

46th minute: Start of the second half, great play by Matthew Blinkhorn as he takes the ball forward into the box, centers it to Marc Bridge-Wilkinson who makes the finish for his 5th of the season. We tie it 1-1.

49th minute: Free kick for us right outside their penalty box. Chris Coyne plays it short to Blinkhorn who tries for the goal. The kick is blocked and deflected to Bartosz Tarachulski who nails it. We go up 2-1.

91st minute: Bridge-Wilkinson finds a lost ball right outside their box and fires a long one, from 25 yards out. Finds the back of the net for his second of the game.

Final Score: Luton 3, Torquay 1
Shots (on target): Luton 20 (11), Torquay 12 (4)
MoM: Marc Birdge-Wilkinson with a rating of 10, 2 goals. I know goals can boost a rating, but he also completed 43 of 56 passes and placed 5 of 8 shots on target, almost half of the whole team shot totals...

Possession: (us/them)
our zone: 16/14
middle: 21/21
their zone: 13/14

We're in 6th, but only because of a tiebreaker. Technically, we're tied in 5th with Port Vale. This win is a great way to break that streak of 11 games without a win, a great morale booster.

With 5 games left in the season, we're now 7 points clear of Watford.
