Slocombe 8. Caught or punched away crosses the defence couldn't get to, made a crucial great save to keep us a goal up.

Brindley 7. Very solid not too much attacking but we were away so it's harder.

Cameron 6. Brought the ball out well, won his battle with the striker.

Baldwin 5. First half was a 4 in truth, he got brushed off the ball when last man, gave it away a few times in dangerous areas but was better second half. Better strikers would have punished him for his lapses yesterday.

Chicksen 6. Always gives his best and his run made a goal. Solid when defending.

Austin 6.5. Got better the longer it went on, he can run all day and is creative.

JOB. 6.5. First half hour a bit shaky but like the rest got better as the game went on. Still making forward runs in the last ten minutes, gave it everything.

Palmer 6. Pretty quiet game but we'd be lost without him in there.

Nemane 5.5. Not a great game from him, didn't often take on or beat his man.

Scott. 6.5 A goal and assist in his full debut without looking a standout player has to be good.

Langstaff. 9. He changed the game in an instant. We weren't playing particularly well, it was our first real attack and he put us in front. For the second he was a long way out with a fair bit to do and many strikers would have fluffed the chance but I honestly never thought he'd miss. The bloke is lethal in front of goal and if he carries on as he is there'll be some pretty big bids for him at Christmas never mind next summer.

Subs
Bejrami 7. He's looked good every time I've seen him play, solid, dependable, steady in defence or holding midfield.

Mitchell 7. Worked hard and scored a good goal. I think confidence is a big part of his game and being in and out and having no time to bed in has perhaps hampered him. He looked pretty emotional when he scored and it's good to see him doing well .

TAR. 5. He's strong and physical but doesn't look a great footballer, he didn't in pre season and was clumsy yesterday but hopefully there's more to come.

We matched Halifax until they ran out of ideas and then we just got on top and it ended up an easy win with moments of class from us.
Nice to see Munakandafa make the bench from the youth set up as well.
