Worcester City (4-4-2)

6 Vaughan – suffered two dislocated fingers trying to keep out Andy Bond’s effort but refused to come off as he had them both put back in place.

7 Gallinagh – recalled to the side, the full-back has been struggling with a neck injury but battled bravely throughout.

7 Hutchison – put his body on the line, cutting out several crosses, but his legs tired towards the end as Fylde wrapped up an emphatic victory.

5 Oji – a moment of madness from the centre-back gifted Danny Rowe a goal as he passed straight to the striker who netted his 50th of the campaign.

8 WEIR – produced another gritty display in defence, relentlessly drove his side forward and coolly dispatched a penalty when tension was high. My City man of the match.

7 Nelson-Addy – got City off to the best possible start when he scored inside the first two minutes and did not let his head drop despite missing a glorious chance in the second half.

7 J Keane – sent in a fine cross for Nelson-Addy to open the scoring and covered a lot of ground as Worcester went toe-to-toe with the champions.

7 Jackman – a welcome return for the Worcester-born midfielder who showed moments of class and fought hard in the middle of the park.

7 C Keane – ran his socks off and made numerous tackles, refusing to give up hope even after Fylde netted a fourth late on.

6 English – has been a true warrior for his side and did not shy away from a challenge despite being hampered by a hamstring injury.

6 Murphy – made an impact after the break as he won his side a penalty but he spurned a great opportunity in the final 10 minutes.
