WORCESTER CITY (4-1-4-1)
6 Ross – Halifax had three shots on target and they all went in but he was not helped by the players in front of him.
6 Gallinagh – not a mistake-free display but at least gave his all for 90 minutes.
5 Sharpe – a very uncharacteristic performance from the centre-back who was caught out several times.
6 Hutchison – a frustrating return to his former club as he also found life difficult marking the towering Tom Denton.
5 Keane – got involved in an unnecessary scrap with Josh MacDonald and left his team down to 10 men when he received a second yellow.
6 FITZPATRICK – the accuracy of his passing was one of few highlights for City before being substituted on the hour mark.
5 Batchelor – making his first start, the midfielder played the whole match but still appears to be getting up to speed.
6 English - put in an all-action showing with several big tackles going in but missed a good chance to score late on.
5 Murphy – apart from one or two decent crosses, the former Walsall forward struggled to make an impact.
5 Nelson-Addy – did very little to worry Halifax’s back four as he often ran into traffic.
5 Bishop – did show some nice touches at times and battled hard but failed to get a shot away.
