Here’s how we rated the individual performances….

MARKO MAROSI     7

Called into action after the break and produced a couple of important stops. Handled well throughout.

NIALL MASON    6

Slotted back in seamlessly at right back at the expense of Matty Blair and put in a no-thrills shift.

TOM ANDERSON     8

Continued his impressive recent form with another faultless performance.

PAUL DOWNING     8

Assured debut. Defended diligently and showcased a good range of passing. Looks like a very useful addition to the squad.

DANNY ANDREW     6

Slightly tentative going forward but defended with determination and his set piece delivery was decent.

BEN WHITEMAN    8

A mature and dynamic display from a player who has come of age this season. Got a slice of luck for his first goal before keeping his cool from the spot.

HERBIE KANE    7

Typically busy and energetic. Demanded the ball and was constantly trying to make things happen.

JAMES COPPINGER     6

Displayed a bit of composure on the ball during a frenetic first half but made way just after the hour mark.

KIERAN SADLIER     7

Only a brilliant save from Iversen denied him a stunning debut goal. Promising display. Has a trick or two up his sleeve.

ALFIE MAY     6

Started the game quietly but grew into it and offered plenty of enthusiasm. Lacked a bit of composure.

JOHN MARQUIS    6

Marshalled well by Oldham’s backline. Will be disappointed not to have scored in the first half after rounding Iversen.

SUBS USED

MATTY BLAIR    5

Struggled to get up to speed with the game after coming on in central midfield.

MALLIK WILKS   5

Did some useful things and some pretty ordinary things after replacing Sadlier.

JOE WRIGHT    N/A

Made a surprise stoppage time appearance - ahead of schedule following his injury - to bolster the defensive ranks .
