Slocombe 6 - No testing saves, all routine and generally good distribution. The best keeper we have.
Macari 7 - Solid game, should be a regular starter.
Baldwin 7 - Thought he was playing well and hope his injury isn't bad.
Cameron 6.5 - Better than recent performances. Still doesn't use his physical presence enough and doesn't open up his body when receiving the ball.
Robertson 7 - Very steady, played well.
O'Brien 7 - Shame he went off as thought he was superb.
Crowley 7.5 - My MOTM. Worked hard and was constantly involved. Kept trying to the bitter end.
Jones 6 - By playing him behind Chicksen, we nullified our biggest threat. Strange tactical decision.
Nemane 6.5 - Some good positions and final balls were generally better today.
Chicken 4.5 - Offered nothing. He's not good enough for this level.
Langstaff 5 - Not involved enough and fluffed his lines again with the chances.
Subs
Rawlinson 5 - Never had him down as a match winner. Looked a very strange OG, not sure what he was trying to do.
Austin 6 - Worked hard and a couple of decent deliveries.
Randall - not on long enough.
Maynard 4 - Prior to his arrival, Jones was out left and tearing teams a new one. Our biggest threat. He's tinkered with him positionally to the point where we've nullified him. It's like having a nuke and removing the detonator. We've gone from being free scoring and conceding too many to a team that doesn't score and still concedes too many.
