Hamza Bencherif 5 – struggled on his left side at times, while competing physically

David Ferguson 5 – found it hard to provide forward impetus from left back

Josh Law 4 – did not impose himself enough on contest in important midfield role

Simon Heslop 6 – tried to get team passing ball around in manner his manager demands

Adriano Moke 5 – made a few forward bursts but did not create a chance or have a shot on goal

Jake Wright 4 – could not get any change out of the visitors’ back-line before being replaced at half-time

Macaulay Langstaff 4 – no threat for the away defence during a very quiet 90 minutes

Fergus McAughtrie 5 – showed crossing ability a couple of times but found it hard to get involved
