Cameron - 7 a good solid game
Nemane - 6 Got in some good positions but his final ball isn’t dangerous enough
Bostock - 9 back to near his preening best
Crowley - 7 did some great link up work
Austin - 6 still a bit anonymous in the midfield role
Jones - 9 always a threat and is way above this level
McGoldrick - 7 took his goal well but not as influential as he should be
Langstaff - 8 amazing workrate, playing more as a link up than usual

Subs
The bench isn’t strong enough at the moment

Toby - 5 have away the crucial second goal and didn’t look comfortable in a back 3 role
Gosling - 5 didn’t mess anything up didn’t contribute much either
I think Crowley Brindley and Austin all worthy of a higher mark.
McGoldrick, poor touches for most of the night, would mark him down one.
Nemane at best a 5. Improved late on but is clueless when crossing. He had 2 perfect opportunities from relatively close range to slide a ball between the keeper and oncoming forwards. Both times he hits the first defender. That is typical of his play. He is letting us down badly.
On the whole though a fantastic response from the players the manager and the fans
A great atmosphere created by the travelling Magpies. 9/10
