13. Jordan Archer 7
Fairly comfortable from the keeper, although elected to punch one cross he could’ve claimed. Distribution was calm and steady - and made one decent late save. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
14. Michael Ani 7
Academy lad is an imposing physical figure which is enabling to step up to senior level comfortably - epitomised by one crunching tackle on the edge of the box. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
15. Nathan Ferguson 7
Deployed in the middle of defence with triallist looking at ease in the role, making one important intervention against Farnborough’s physicality. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
16. Hayden Matthews 6
All comes so easily for classy Aussie, but largely kept it simple on this occasion as he faced a big physical challenge against powerful Farnborough. | The News Photo: The News
