Kennedy (7) Good game.
Jennings (7) Excellent strike for first goal. Needs to vary his long ball down the line.
Young (7) Tired towards the end, when he gave the ball away in dangerous areas, but a good performance.
Summerfield (6) A bit off the pace but improved second-half.
Rutherford (6) Closed them down all match and laid off some good balls.
Jarvis (7) Runs all day and can play football. His run won the free-kick for the first goal. Ran the midfield in the second.
Hooper (6) Excellent goal, and much better when ball played to feet.
Subs:
Keillor-Dunn (6) Looks very useful.
Pontecelli (5) Almost scored and looks lively.
That was an excellent performance and win. Keates has options now; a few more faces and we should be good to escape the drop and might finish closer to the POs than seemed possible only a few weeks back.

had a great day out yesterday and 3 points and a great performance made the drive home pass quickly.
Personally reluctant to rate individuals for that performance as it was a team effort worth 8+ all round.
Under the cosh for most of the first half which limited any attacking options apart from the goal and Hoopers rocket shot that the keeper saved well.
Second half we looked like the team at the top and bossed the game.
What a difference a couple of signings made.
Also credit to the management for the obvious improvements. Not a fan of Keates ball but I think he must have had one of those "light bulb" moments and realised like the fans that hoof and hope doesn't work.
