Hide AdScott Loach - One or two fantastic saves. Never lets his side down... 7
Carl Magnay - A real steady performance. Won his fair share of 50-50s... 7
Andrew Davies - A beast in the air. Unlucky not to score near the death... 7
Peter Kioso - A young lad, learning his trade, getting thrown right in at the deep end. Is swimming rather than sinking... 6

Hide AdRyan Donaldson - Does not look out of place at all at right-back. A real threat in an attacking sense, too... 7
Nicky Featherstone - A quieter game than Saturday but still saw plenty of the action... 6
Liam Noble - Brilliant work for the opener. Played the game at his own pace and made sure everyone else did as well... 7
Mark Kitching - Always a threat with his late runs into the box. Ball didn't quite fall right for him on the day... 6

Hide AdNiko Muir - In the right place at the right time - you can see why he got 40 goals last season. He's much more than that, though. Works his socks off... 8
Luke James - Took a few heavy knocks but was a willing ball carrier and runner when out of possession... 7
Jake Cassidy - Deserved his goal. Looks a player transformed. Fully fit and firing he can be a real force at this level. Causing defences all kind of problems in behind... 8
Subs
Paddy McLaughlin (for Featherstone 67) - Little time to influence in the middle on debut... 5
Conor Newton (for Muir 86) ...N/A
