STAR MAN

Myziane Maolida 7

He likes to wander, doesn’t he? Not always to great effect. But he gets enormous credit for being on the spot to bag the opener.

David Marshall 7

Made a brilliant point-blank stop with his right boot to deny Brophy an equaliser late on.

Lewis Miller 6

Never dull with the big Socceroos fullback, who can make silly mistakes and brilliant recoveries in the time it takes your heart to skip a beat.

Will Fish 7

Dominant defensively, his attempts to build play were stymied by County’s clever blocking.

Rocky Bushiri 7

Didn’t get into much trouble defensively. Limited opportunities going the other way.

Jordan Obita 6

Didn’t get quite so many opportunities to put in those killer deliveries from the left.

Nathan Moriah-Welsh 5

Won loads of tackles. Had to after giving the ball away so much. Replaced at half-time.

Joe Newell 7

Kept plugging away on a day when so many aspects of his team’s game were half a beat off.

Martin Boyle 6

Tightly marked for most of the afternoon. One terrific cut-back ought to have produced a goal.

Emiliano Marcondes 6

Had a couple of decent chances to open the scoring either side of half-time. Not afraid to take a risk on the ball.

Dylan Vente 6

Still looks a little shot shy in front of goal. Played his part in the opener, before being replaced by Le Fondre soon after.

SUB Dylan Levitt 7

Half-time replacement added quality on the ball – and a superbly taken goal.

SUB Adam Le Fondre 6

Replaced Vente for closing half hour. To good effect.

SUB Elie Youan 5

Replaced Boyle after 73 minutes with game opening up.

SUB Nectarios Triantis n/a

Replaced Marcondes with seven minutes remaining.

SUB Chris Cadden n/a

Got a rousing ovation when replacing Miller with seven minutes left. An emotional return to Easter Road after a long injury battle.
