Worcester City (4-4-2)

6 Boot – made two fine saves in the second half but did not command his area as well as usual and conceded three poor goals.

6 Gallinagh – got up and down his flank well and his cross led to City’s opener but was part of a disappointing defensive display.

5 Hutchison – not a convincing showing from the centre-back who will be disappointed to let in goals from corners given his aerial ability.

5 Sharpe – was caught in no man’s land for Boro’s first goal and was beaten in the air for Aaron Williams’ winner.

5 Weir – a heavy-legged performance from the full-back, who looked off the pace at times and the visitors took advantage of it.

7 Steele – grabbed another assist, setting up Lee Hughes and was always looking to create something.

7 JACKMAN – returning to the side, the skipper was tidy in possession and the home fans voiced their dismay at seeing him come off.

5 Nelson-Addy – put his side under pressure as he gave the ball away too easily and looked all at sea without it.

6 Keane – scored the opening goal and started brightly but his deliveries lacked accuracy and he tired towards the end.

6 Bishop – apart from having a header cleared off the line, the striker struggled for opportunities and was replaced midway through the second half.

7 Hughes – was a real handful for the Boro defence and took his chance superbly well to put City back on level terms.
