Made one vital early stop from McKay but couldn’t repeat the heroics minutes later. Didn’t have a great deal to do otherwise. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
2. Jordan Willis
Looked uncertain in the opening exchanges as Barrie McKay caused a number of problems down his flank. Tried to get forward in the second half and put in a couple of good crosses but not quite at his best. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
3. Alim Ozturk
Distribution was good in the early stages with his side struggling, and found Lafferty when it mattered most with a precise long ball in the dying embers of the game. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
4. Tom Flanagan
Struggled to find Hume and Gooch in dangerous positions as he usually does. 5 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
