LEE BURGE

Made a good stop from McGrandles but needed more support from his defence as Scully arrived to rifle in the follow up – 6

MAX POWER

Saved side late on with a tremendous covering challenge. One of his better performances at right-back – 6

LUKE O’NIEN

There were understandably one or two moments where he was caught out in a very unfamiliar position, but for the main this was yet another tremendously spirited performance in difficult circumstances. – 7

BAILEY WRIGHT

Had a really strong first half, defending well in a good partnership with Luke O’Nien. Won all his duels and that he was brought off at half-time is an obvious concern – 7

CALLUM MCFADZEAN

Didn’t track his winger for the opening goal, frustrating given that his tenacity through the game was generally good – 5

GRANT LEADBITTER

Struggled to get up to the pace of the game for the most part and not as precise in possession as he can be, but did improve considerably late on. Nerveless penalty to win it for his side – 6

JOSH SCOWEN

Plenty of energy to begin with but looked leggy after the break having played so much football of late – 5

DAN NEIL

A few terrific touches showed his quality but didn’t quite have the same confidence in possession that we have seen in previous appearances – 5

LYNDEN GOOCH

There were one or two good turns to beat his marker but on the whole it was a frustrating night – 5

AIDEN MCGEADY

Stood up once again when his side needed him. The biggest threat through the first half and excellent once his side had fallen behind – 7

CHARLIE WYKE

Came to life as his side got further up the pitch in the latter stages of the second half, and extended his scoring run–7

CONOR McLAUGHLIN

FOR THE MAIN DID WELL AND MADE A GREAT CHALLENGE LATE ON – 7 CHRIS MAGUIRE

PRESSED WELL AND LOOKED LIVELY – 6

JACK DIAMOND

BROUGHT ENERGY AND INTENSITY THAT HIS SIDE NEEDED – 6

AIDEN O’BRIEN INTELLIGENT CAMEO – 6
