RAMS RATINGS

-

JOE WILDSMITH:

Made a brilliant double save when the Rams were 2-0 up, first denying Will Goodwin and then Aaron Jarvis. In brilliant form. 8/10

JAKE ROONEY:

Torquay got some joy down his side in the first half but the centre-back, who was playing fullback, did not have too many scares. 7/10

RICHARD STEARMAN:

Made a couple of key blocks and used his experience to good effect. 7/10

EIRAN CASHIN:

Defended with his usual passion and aggression. The defender enjoyed a comfortabl­e evening. 7/10

HAYDON ROBERTS:

Made a telling contributi­on in the time he was on the pitch as his cross led to Mark Ellis’ own goal. But his night was ended early due to injury. 6/10

MAX BIRD:

Cruised through this game without much of a problem. Was given time on the ball and it was a fine pass that helped lead to Will Osula’s goal. 7/10

LIAM THOMPSON:

Needed a big performanc­e in what was a rare start for the midfielder and he delivered the good swith an emphatic finish for the third. 8/10

LOUIE SIBLEY:

The effort and endeavour was there but the final ball didn’t match his work-rate. 6/10

LEWIS DOBBIN:

Has had to wait a while for a goal but it was worth it as he unleashed a howitzer on the volley to score the Rams’ fourth. Classy performanc­e. 9/10

WILL OSULA:

Emphatic finish put the Rams 2-0 up and then he produced a peach of a pass that led to Liam Thompson’s goal. 8/10

DAVID MCGOLDRICK:

Produced a brilliant run off the shoulder of Lucas Ness that allowed him to tee-up Osula for his goal. Also got on the scoresheet. 8/10

SUBSTITUTE­S CRAIG FORSYTH (ROBERTS 19):

Came on at left-back and continued his excellent recent form. 7/10

KOREY SMITH (BIRD 70):

An easy 20 minutes for the midfielder. 6/10

JAMES COLLINS (DOBBIN 70): Almost got on the end of a back pass and had a hand in Mcgoldrick’s goal. 6/10

KWAKU ODUROH (FORSYTH 70):

The summer signing played in an advanced wide role and showed a couple of neat touches. 6/10

MAX BARDELL (CASHIN 76):

What a night for the young academy full-back who made his senior debut. 6/10
