Joe Wildsmith 

Made a solid early save but then put himself under pressure with a ridiculous pass out that almost led to a third goal. Could maybe have done better with one of the goals - but didn't have another save to make all evening.

Quiet 5

Krystian Bielik 

Almost got punished for a late tackle in the first half - and apart from that it was a pretty unremarkable performance. Did go close late on with a header which was kept out by the keeper.

Unremarkable 6

Nat Phillips

An awful mistake as he slipped for the second goal - after indecision when under pressure. Did recover in the second half with a solid tackle to deny Armstrong - before heading Albion back into the game late on. 

Mistake 5

Chris Mepham 

Another defender culpable for a goal as he went diving in on Fellows - who slipped past him and ran forward to set up the opener. The odd interception but poor in possession for a lot of the night.

Rash 5
