Player ratings from Morrison's first home defeat: Too many under-performers

Only three players came out of the game in credit - Max O'Leary, Chris Mepham and Bryaan Pereira on his home debut. The changes in midfield didn't really work out and yet again Aune Heggebo disappointed up front. The same can be said of JJ Morgan who hasn't showed up at all in either games against Blues or Wolves.

Player Ratings:

Max O'Leary MOM 8. Two superb saves from Stansfield and Neumann the highlights of another excellent display.

Brayaan Pereira 7. Promising home debut. Strong in the tackle and offered a threat going forward.

Nat Phillips 5. Gave away the vital goal for the second successive derby. Otherwise fully committed as usual.
