Kevin Pilkington: 7 – Made a couple of decent stops and bosses his area well. Wisely chose to punch than catch crosses given the conditions.
Curtis Osano: 6 – Got his team into trouble on a couple of occasions but got stronger as the game went on and gave the Hatters some thrust from full-back.
George Pilkington: 7 – Kept his concentration well on a wretched afternoon and was there when necessary.
Janos Kovacs: 8 – Colossus at the back, made one brilliant tackle, won plenty in the air and made several telling interventions.
Greg Taylor: 6 – Solid show against another lively winger and even got forward a few times.
James Dance: 7 – Not as prevalent as he would have liked, but it was his forceful run that created the winner.
Alex Lawless: 5.5 – Missed a great chance, picked up his sixth booking of the season and is lacking that zest we all know he possess.
Jamie Hand: 5.5 – Did his best to get stuck in, but Newport edged the midfield battle.
Jake Howells: 6 – Has had a limited impact on the left of midfield and needs to find another gear.
Aaron O’Connor: 6 – Pacy forward was a willing runner but had little in the way of service.
Stuart Fleetwood: 7 – Thwarted by a great save from the keeper but showed some nice touches.
Ryan Brunt (sub): 5.5 – Had a hand in the goal and looked to run beyond the last man, but not the biggest of impacts.
Robbie Willmott (sub): 5.5 – Got a few dangerous balls into the box, but should be terrorising defences.
Danny Crow (sub): 6 – Popped up with the all-important winner.
