. David Ferguson - 7
A positive attacking outlet from left-back. Reaped the rewards of crossing early and with pace as his delivery sailed straight in for his second goal in as many games. Photo: HUFC
. Gary Liddle - 6
A typically composed defensive display but will be disappointed with the first goal. Photo: FRANK REID 2019
. Timi Odusina - 7
A strong defensive display, never shirked a tackle and got stuck in when needed. Perhaps guilty of overcommitting on occasion. Photo: Mark Fletcher
. Ryan Donaldson - 5
Quiet going forward from right back and gave away a penalty which would have been a red in a competitive game. Photo: Paul Paxford
. Nicky Featherstone - 7
Spread the ball around well and launched some promising attacking moves. Photo: Mark Fletcher
. Mark Shelton - 6
Came close with a header in what was another steady midfield display. Photo: Mark Fletcher
