1. JON McLAUGHLIN
Has not been required to make too many big saves of late but this was an afternoon when he delivered a string of them, particularly vital at a point when his side were on the ropes at 1-1. 8 Photo: COPYRIGHT (C) FRANK REID 20187
2. LUKE O’NIEN
Produced a typically energetic performance down the right but couldn’t make a major impression in the final third. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
3. DENVER HUME
Retained his place in the side despite calls for the introduction of Declan John, and began very brightly to justify his manager’s faith. Couldn’t quite sustain that, but came through it to deliver a cross of real quality to set up the opener. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
4. JORDAN WILLIS
Typically on top of the game in an excellent first-half showing, but perhaps could have done more to clear the long throw that got Gillingham level at 1-1. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
