9. Chay Cooper - 5
Was unable to make much of an impression against the side where he spent six years as a youngster and was replaced midway through the second half. Photo: Mark Fletcher
10. Brennan Dickenson - 6
Had a number of threatening moments and forced a sharp save from Andeng-Ndi but faded as the game wore on. Photo: Mark Fletcher
11. Mani Dieseruvwe - 6
Had to feed off scraps but still managed some nice touches and will hope for better service when he returns from England C duty. Photo: Mark Fletcher
12. Anthony Mancini - n/a
The Frenchman briefly raised hopes and spirits when he was introduced after the hour but never looked right and returned down the tunnel 12 minutes later. Photo: FRANK REID 2022
