Myles Roberts - 6

Decent - Rarely troubled barring the goal. Dealt with the majority of his high claims comfortably and distributed the ball well, although he was arguably late to Remeao Hutton's long throw for the Gills' goal. 

Rico Browne - 5

Wobbly - Looked very nervy at times and struggled to deal with the physicality of Gills target man Josh Andrews when he was introduced at half-time.

Aden Flint - 6

Solid - Was a towering presence at the back once again and even finished the game bandaged up in a scene to reinforce his warrior reputation.

Evan Weir - 6 

Ineffectual - The Irishman dealt with his defensive duties relatively well but lacked the bravery to attack. His only chance was a free-kick which slammed into the wall.

Lewis Warrington - 6

Steady - Made his full debut in place of the suspended Brandon Comley and did a lot of the dirty work that went unnoticed in the first half. He was less effective after the break though.
