1. Steve Arnold
Couldn't keep out Whalley's effort despite getting a glove to it, but made several good stops throughout the afternoon, the best of which saw Pyke denied one-on-one. Solid and commanding under crosses... 7.5 Photo: Pete Norton
2. Michael Harriman

4. Joe Martin
Drafted into the side at centre-back and didn't let his manager down with an outstanding performance. Positionally sound, anticipated well, tackled strongly and made one superb recovery block on Whalley... 8.5 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton
