Player Ratings

Glennon 6
Had very little to do except pick the ball out of the net on 42 minutes.

Again in the second half was largley untroubled, one good save from Sinclair parried straight to Low who fortunately missed.

Holdsworth 7
Looked solid as ever at right back and creative going forward

Unsworth 6
Caught out for pace by the ancient Barry Hayles, and was booked.
Didn’t again get much support from Roberts

Lucketti 7
Collosus at the back again, looked solid

N Clarke 7
Impressive, scored the equaliser and will surely keep his place for the Tranmere game

Flynn 6
Worked hard and supported Holdsworth well.
He does look more effective in the center of the park

Roberts 7
Impressive attacking play again but will need to work on the defensive side of his game

Craney 7
Very very good goal, but will have a long way to go to win over the Town fans

Collins 6
A decent game with a good chance that was unlucky to go wide

Jevons 6
First start for Jevons and had the only real chance in the first half, but lacked support from the midfield

Dickinson 6
Linked up play well, but will need to improve.

Parker 8
Made the difference, with his lively running and had several chances to seal the game.

Manager Rating
Stan Ternent, brought Parker on and changed the game.
