Bass - 6.5 - Nothing to do. Two hairy moments but some lovely distribution.

Ness - 7 - Very assured. Excellent defender. Very reassuring to see him offer as much of an option going forward as he did.

Platt - 7 - Very positive and front footed defensively. Absolutely bossed Kyle Hudlin.

Macari - 7 - Did what Lewis Macari does. A fine player at this level.

Tsaroulla - 6.5 - Huffed and puffed but not much end product. Lacked support when he had the ball and was often doubled up on.

Austin - 6.5 - Industrious as ever. Some good link up play first half and got forward to good effect in the second.

Palmer - 7 - Good performance. Good use of the ball. Allowed Abbott to flourish.

Abbott - 8 - MOTM - All action. Has a game that contains a bit of everything. Got through some yards today. Cannot be far off his first goal.

Brown - 6 - Played a bit too narrow and left Tsaroulla hanging out wide a little bit. There is definitely a player in there.

McGoldrick - 7 - Faded later on, but looked really good on the ball. Still a real threat.

Jatta - 7 - His link up play was good. Thought he was going to bury the header when he knocked one down for Brown.

Gordon - 5.5 - Lots of crosses but most were quite aimless. If he is coming on, he just needs to use his pace and get to the by-line a bit more often to change it up a bit.

Scott - 6 - Did everything well when he came on. Had a really good chance that he could have taken a touch with. Desperate for a goal.

Cisse - N/A - Not on long enough but nice to see him trusted to come on.

Maynard - 7 - Thought he set us up well tactically. Starting Macari at LCB was a smart move given Austin played wide left. Made the right subs at the right time. He cannot physically go on and score but put the team in a position (by selection and coaching) to do that on multiple occasions today.
