Sargeant - 6 - did the basics well, no chance with the goal
Judd - 6 - decent enough performance but seemed to let his man go for the goal, need to see another angle though
Ekpiteta - 6 - plenty of blocks, a bit panicky at times
Turley - 7 - MOTM - best defender we have by far
Happe - 7 - put a few nice crosses in early and solid defence
Clay - 4 - can't keep up with the pace of L2 against top or bottom sides
Wright - 4 - slightly faster moving than Clay, powder puff tackles
Marsh - 4 - seemed to play 45 minutes then disappeared
Sotiriou - 6 - well taken goal, faded towards the end and a little naive at times but that'll improve with game time, which he deserves more of
JMD - 4 - I couldn't even remember to include him in the ratings until I counted 10 players, that's the impact he had today
Angol - 4 - not a target man, doesn't enjoy it, should've come off
Brophy - 4 - anonymous
Harrold - 5 - on too late to make much impact
Streaming service was great, our tactics at 0-1 up were poor and let Newport right back in the game. I guess given Ling likes to tell us we're no bigger or better than them we should be grateful to not lose to such a mighty side

Big investment in CM required in January. Will we get it, unlikely.
