Moss 7.0 - Rarely tested, but when he was put under pressure he handled it adequately. Distributed the ball along the ground to the back 4 quite nicely and appeared composed while doing this. Was a breath of fresh air to see more of a consensus on controlling the ball and composing himself as a pose to hoofing the ball down field given any opportunity as we often saw with Paston. 

Fenton 6.0 - Slightly disapointed in Fenton's performance. To his credit he worked hard as always, but didn't really see much conviction when he was going forward. Seemed a little bit slow. To be fair, he was played out of position and I can't recall him making any shocking mistakes. Overall, a decent performance though.  

Durante 8.5 - Was a class above anyone on the pitch. Played as a central defender in the first half, and was cool, calm and clinical on the ball. Controlled it well, distributed exceptionally well, and beat his man with skill when required. In the second half he moved to a defensive midfielder role, pushing higher up the pitch and screening the back four. Thought he was very good here too, as he bossed the midfield and controlled possession really well. Only concern is that he does sometimes get caught out of position while trying to intercept and his defending can be a bit questionable at times. 

Adams 8.0 - Brilliant game from Adams. His technique and ability on the ball was exceptionally good. Controlled the ball from the back really well and never panicked. Hope to see more of him. 

Gulley 7.0 -  Had a decent game. No noticeable mistakes that I could make out. Did not really stand out, but he did most things that would be required of him in that position. Didn't delay on the ball, and most of his passes were well executed and complete.  

Lindsay 6.5 - Didn't really see too much of Lindsay but from what I saw, he was okay. Can't recall any major errors or anything. Played in a central midfield role. 

Lia 7.0 - You either love him or hate him but to his credit, Lia had a pretty decent game. Nothing spectacular, and he made some bad passes and mistakes, but he also played a couple of great balls that  no one else on the pitch was capable of. One of them was a ground through ball assist to Stein who slotted it in the bottom corner. 

Watson 6.5 - Showed potential. Has great strength and pretty good work ethic. However, his touch is not up to professional standard, nor is his passing. Needs some technical work if he is to ever make it as a pro footballer. He made a great assist to Stein in the second half (might have had 2 assists, can't quite remember). 

Huysegems 8.0 - Took his chances. His finishing was clinical, and he deserved his hat-trick. First goal he beat the offside trap and calmly dribbled around the keeper and tapped the ball in. Second goal he got on the end of a driven cross and slotted it into the bottom corner with his right foot actually. Buried his third goal with finesse into the side netting after Watson used his body and strength to beat his man on the edge of the penalty box and crossed it into Stein. Looked pretty good on the ball when it was played to his feet. Controls the ball and lays it off nicely. Only weakness is that he has no right foot whatsoever and apart from the goals, he went missing for periods.
