1. Ben Killip - 5
Had very little to do except pick the ball out of his net on two occasions. Was put under plenty of pressure early on when the ball was at his feet but rarely tested. Photo: Howard Roe
2. Mark Kitching - 6
Always bombing up and down that left flank but didn’t have much to show for his efforts. Photo: Howard Roe
3. Michael Raynes - 7
Very solid for the best part of an hour before the nerves started to set in once Ebbsfleet started to get back into the game. Photo: Howard Roe
4. Fraser Kerr - 5
A good first half display saw several strong challenges and good blocks before things got a little shaky after the break. Conceded several needless free-kicks, one of which led to the equalising goal. Photo: Howard Roe
