Worcester City (4-2-3-1)

6 Ross – has had to bide his time this season and once again did a decent job, making a couple of good saves in the second half.

6 Minihan – returning from injury, he struggled in the early stages but never ran out of gas and made a crucial goal-line clearance.

6 Sharpe – City may have come under plenty of pressure but he remained a calming influence at the back.

6 Gudger – played a few sloppy passes and struggled with the pace of Fylde’s attacks at times but it is difficult to knock his attitude.

6 Weir – looked good on the ball and produced a speculative 45-yard lob, which was tipped over, but did not do as well defensively.

7 Jackman – although he was without the captain’s armband, he still led by example as he really drove his side on.

6 Donnellan – has clearly got a bright future in the game but found it hard to showcase his abilities as Fylde took control.

7 Murphy – has often frustrated during his loan spell but played positively in this game and set up Dan Nti for City’s first goal.

5 Webb – handed his first start since joining last month, the winger had plenty of the ball but failed to do anything with it.

7 NTI – playing in a more central role, he was lively throughout and got the goal which turned the tide. My man of the match.

6 Burton – an emotional day for the striker who skippered the side and received a standing ovation when he left the field for the final time.
