DANIEL IVERSEN (and that IS how you spell his name, despite shirt): Another good shift from the Danish Under-21 international. A tad harsh to say he spilled Ollie Palmer’s cross-shot for the Crawley goal – it was a good stop – but held on to the striker’s penalty soon after and commanded his box throughout. Will be missed against Barnsley and Newport. An emergency loan move for a ’keeper is forthcoming. 7/10.
SAM GRAHAM: Not the Sheffield United loanee’s finest hour. Looked a little awkward at right-back and was punished for a challenge on Ashley Nathaniel-George (what a name) for the penalty – although the coming together was on the edge of the box, Mr Salisbury. Replaced by Tom Hamer with 10 minutes left. 6/10.
GEORGE EDMUNDSON: An outstanding, commanding performance at centre-back by the 21-year-old, now burgeoning under the tutelage of skipper Peter Clarke. Growing by the week. 8/10.
PETER CLARKE: Always does what it says on the centre-half tin. Strong as ever, a leader and not afraid to intimidate. You definitely want him inside the tent spitting out than outside it spitting in. Solid. 7/10.
ROB HUNT: Yet to hit the straps by his standards, but always willing and versatile, switching to left-back in the absence of Andy Taylor. A lot of energy about his game. 6/10.
JOHAN BRANGER-ENGONE: Playing on the right again, rather than his favoured left side, the Frenchman never shies away from the ball and does offer an outlet, but a conventional winger he is perhaps not. 6/10.
DAN GARDNER: How many balls did he win . . . then give away? Such a combative performance in claiming back possession countless times - he gave 100 per cent as always in that regard. Distribution was poor though, having done the hard part. 6/10.
CHRISTOPHER MISSILOU: An energy-bunny as always. Flew into tackles, never stopped running . . . but no killer passes – he’s a grafter. Replaced by Sam Surridge after an hour. 6/10.
GEVARO NEPOMUCENO: Two goals in as many games for the Curacao international. Looks like he could be a big player this season. Skilful, willing and now with goals to boot. Will be missed next week. 7/10.
JOSE BAXTER: A first competitive 90 minutes for the hive of creativity. Some nice touches and always a danger. Plenty more to come, but he’s certainly getting there. 7/10.
CHRIS O’GRADY: Held up the ball manfully. A real presence up front before being replaced by Callum Lang on 66 minutes. 7/10.
SUBS: SAM SURRIDGE (for Missilou, 59). What can you say? Whether he did or didn’t get a touch on the winning goal . . . who cares? The Bournemouth loanee has really got something about him. Prepared to run at defenders all day long. Should start on Tuesday. 7/10.
CALLUM LANG (for O’Grady, 66). Looked dangerous and was unlucky to have his header ruled out for offside. Knows where the net is. Another who may start on Tuesday. 6/10.
TOM HAMER (for Graham 79): Looks so comfortable at right-back . . . a safe bet to start against Barnsley. 6/10.
