Worcester City (4-4-2)

5 Vaughan – his decision to rush out to the edge of his area to deal with a long ball backfired as he collided with Gallinagh and Marsden pounced to score.

6 Gallinagh – was involved in the defensive mix-up which cost City dear and his reluctance to get forward meant his side had little threat down the right flank.

7 Hutchison – another solid showing from the centre-back who did a fine job keeping veteran striker Hughes quiet.

6 Chambers – made a few uncharacteristic mistakes but dealt with a series of long throw-ins from Bailey.

7 Weir – suffered a knock in the first half as he limped off at the break but came out firing, working well with Cieron Keane on the left.

7 Nelson-Addy – went agonisingly close to opening the scoring with a stunning volley which whistled wide and never stopped running.

8 J KEANE – growing in confidence with every game in central midfield as he imposed himself with strong challenges and tidy passes. My man of the match.

6 Jackman – almost lasted the full 90 minutes as he was involved in some nice exchanges in the first half and dug in when under pressure.

7 C Keane – worked tirelessly and although his deliveries lacked accuracy at times he kept giving Telford’s defence something to deal with.

6 Muskwe – a decent debut from City’s new forward as he made a lively start winning several headers but faded as the match wore on.

5 Murphy – failed to make an impact as he scuffed his only shot on target and played several loose passes.
