Named sponsors' man of the match after a typically composed and commanding defensive performance against strong opposition.
6. Nick Tsaroulla 7
Came into the starting line-up as John Yems put an extra defensive body in.. Still looked to go forward when he could and had an early effort blocked. Looked to drive Reds forward at every chance. Perhaps unfortunate to be replaced by Mark Marshall after Tranmere took the lead.
7. George Francomb 6
Quietly went about his business without pulling up many trees before he was replaced by Jack Payne for the final 12 minutes.
8. Jack Powell 6
Played in a couple of dangerous set pieces and linked up play nicely. Struggled to impose himself physically against tough midfield opponents.
