.
Jordan Tunnicliffe back in action against Tranmere Rovers
. Glenn Morris 7
Fresh from signing a new contract, Morris had very little to do in the first-half. He was forced into action a couple of times after the break before he was beaten by an unfortunate deflection.
. Archie Davies 7
Looked bright in the opening stages with a couple of positive runs forward and linked up well with Sam Matthews. A brilliant cross to James Tilley nearly led to the opening goal. Faded as the game went on.
. Jordan Tunnicliffe 7
Solid on his first start since the opening day of the season. It was great to see him back.
. Tony Craig 7
A couple of strong sliding challenges in first-half. Was perhaps fortunate to not give away a penalty when Charle Jolley went down.
5. Joel Lynch 8
Named sponsors' man of the match after a typically composed and commanding defensive performance against strong opposition.
6. Nick Tsaroulla 7
Came into the starting line-up as John Yems put an extra defensive body in.. Still looked to go forward when he could and had an early effort blocked. Looked to drive Reds forward at every chance. Perhaps unfortunate to be replaced by Mark Marshall after Tranmere took the lead.
7. George Francomb 6
Quietly went about his business without pulling up many trees before he was replaced by Jack Payne for the final 12 minutes.
8. Jack Powell 6
Played in a couple of dangerous set pieces and linked up play nicely. Struggled to impose himself physically against tough midfield opponents.
