Adam Bartlett 7 – left exposed for penalty and went on to save team when similarly vulnerable

Josh Law 6 – could have been more forceful in his defending and attacked the ball more

Sean Newton 6 – distribution was sloppy during early stages but another who improved with back-four switch

Nathan Dyer 7 – did well to maintain his own personal standards when more senior players were struggling for form

Simon Heslop 7 – terrific strike to win the game and battled on despite odd mistake in possession

Russ Penn 7 – generally made sensibly passes and helped team keep shape following tactical switch

Alex Harris 7 – could have demanded ball more but provided quality cross that led to equaliser

David Ferguson 6 – made a couple of runs down the flank before being sacrificed just past half-hour mark

Jordan Burrow 7 – took his one chance of the match in clinical fashion and fought gamely against strong home defenders

Jake Wright 7 – showed good desire to get a shot away from Harris’ cross for first City goal and always industrious
