Harry Clifton’s fortuitous first half goal was the only difference between the two sides in a game that won’t live long in the memory. Chances were at a premium but Grant McCann’s side did enough to collect the victory as they responded well to last week’s loss at Newport.
Here’s how we rated the players today:
9. Luke Molyneux 5
An off-day for Molyneux, with some unsure touches and not the usual sharpness we've come to expect. Replaced by Yeboah in the latter stages. Photo: Andrew Roe/AHPIX LTD
10. Billy Sharp 5
Handed his first league start since re-signing but endured a frustrating afternoon. Even he will be scratching his head as to how he missed from just a few yards out early on, as he scuffed a shot. Hooked just after the hour. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
11. Jordan Gibson 6
Did okay but decision-making at times was questionable. Almost scored first half with an inventive lobbed attempt that cannoned back off the crossbar. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
12. Joe Ironside 5
Called into action just after the hour mark but didn't get any genuine scoring chances during that time. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
