DEAN WEST Came close to scoring his first league goal for the club but spooned his left foot shot wide...7
IAN COX One lapse of concentration almost gifted Stoke a goal but that apart continued his good form...7
ARTHUR GNOHERE Grabbed his first goal of the season and it was a vital one. As strong as ever at the back...7
MARK McGREGOR Made way at the interval after a quiet first half. Did make one break forward but was well off target...6
GLEN LITTLE His cross was converted for the winner and he again looked lively in tandem with Blake...7
TONY GRANT Kept things ticking over in the middle of the park as he spread play both left and right...6
LENNIE JOHNROSE His distribution at times let him down but no opponent can ever settle while he is around...6
LEE BRISCOE Looked certain to score before a great block by Handyside. Dropped back to defence in the second half...6
ROBBIE BLAKE Showed some nice touches and was unlucky to hit the post from a narrow angle but replaced at half time...6
