Worcester (4-2-3-1): 6 Vaughan – In a game of few chances had little to do. Couple of hairy moments in the second half including one he spilled only to scoop up just in time.
8 Minihan – Best game in a long time for the summer signing whose pace rescued his side on more than one occasion. Good going forward too.
7 Weir – A solid display from the City stalwart and he wrapped the game up with a goal in the dying minutes.
8 GUDGER – Young player who is proving Mr Dependable. Tough conditions for defenders but he was the pick of an excellent backfour. Another star turn.
7 Thomas – Not only excellent in defence but also a willing extra striker at times. So often the glue that bonds the backfour.
7 Jackman – Gale force winds ensured it wasn’t a day for those telling long-range passes but he was still influential in the middle of the park.
6 Nti – A quiet game on a day when it was tricky to utilise his skills out wide. Missed a good chance to open the scoring early on.
8 Deeney – Once again the skipper was the catalyst for so much of City’s good work. Worked hard and was rarely found wanting as he consistently took the right option.
7 Burton – Saw little of the ball in the first half when the elements were against him but still managed to impress with some deft touches. Made way for Lee Hughes.
8 Nelson-Addy – A real contender for Star Man particularly after scoring a wonderful solo goal. Impressive second debut for the Hartlepool loanee.
6 Vincent – Unable to get into the game with most of Worcester’s attacking success coming through the middle with the trickery of Nelson-Addy.
