A solid performance from the hosts won the points after a much-improved second half showing could’ve seen them score more.
Here are today’s player ratings:
5. Will Ferry - 7
Got the assist for Appiah’s goal with a good ball into the striker’s path. Poor in possession early on but played a great ball into the channel for Nichols to latch on to from deep in his own half. Subbed on 70 minutes after landing heavily after being fouled.
6. James Tilley - 7
Energetic down the right but often without reward in the first half. Couldn’t turned what would’ve been a lead doubler in after pin ball in the box. Scuffed a golden chance for a second from 12-yards just minutes later.
7. Jack Payne - 7
Was the more defensive of the midfield pair and sat in well. A looped cross into Appiah who struggled to make anything of it was his only real involvement in the first half. Sweet strike on the edge of the box from a corner was blocked.
8. Isaac Hutchinson - 7
Unlucky with an early run from midfield, showed good touches and control in tight spaces. Shot from distance at the end of the first half was comfortably over but still appreciated by fans who longed for more adventurous play. Drove the side forward well from midfield but was frustrating when making wrong final decisions. Subbed.
