9. Lynden Gooch
Uncharacteristically quiet in the first half but roared back in the second, a menace for the home side and well worth his magnificent winning goal, unquestionably a goal of the season contender. 8 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
10. Chris Maguire
His most important early contributions actually came in defence, with some key challenges. Set pieces were consistently excellent and was unfortunate it didn’t yield more for his side. 7 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
11. Charlie Wyke
Battled well throughout but had very little sight of goal on a far quieter afternoon than he has enjoyed recently. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
12. Kyle Lafferty
Put himself about well in a promising cameo on debut. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
