Energetic first half, always looking to link up the play and pick the ball up in dangerous areas. He struggled to get on the ball in the second half and was replaced by Ashley Nadesan just before the hour mark.
10. James Tilley 6
Worked hard and must have impressed his manager as he stayed on for the full 90 minutes. He came inches away from connecting with a header towards the end of the first half and tried to force a late equaliser to no avail.
11. Tom Nichols 6
Started strongly, looking to make an impact with bursts of speed and nice link up play. Faded as the game went on and wasn't able to create much for himself or his teammates. Must be noted that he was up against the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the league this season (15).
12. Ashley Nadesan 6
Didn't have too many chances to utilise his pace after his second half introduction but did well to win a couple of set piece opportunities.
