Hide AdCarl Magnay - Skipper made a return but had very little influence on the side's performance... 4
Keith Watson - One outstanding, goal-saving interception, but a tough day at the office... 5
Michael Ledger - Alongside Watson looked solid enough but the result hardly shines the Sunderland loanee in a good light... 5
Nicky Deverdics - Given a tough, tough time. Is he really a left back? Not on this show... 4
Liam Donnelly - Cannot really be faulted for the goals... 6

Lewis Hawkins - Cannot ever fault his workrate... 5
Jonathan Franks - Worked hard. Did a lot of unseen defensive work... 6
Blair Adams - Played further forward by Harrison, did little to justify that. Gave Deverdics little protection. Hauled off at break... 4
Jake Cassidy - Won his fair share in the air but struggled to find his teammates with flick ons... 5
