Jake Caprice 8

Set up the goal for Jennings. A constant threat.

Manny Monthe 7

Cool as you like. Perhaps lucky not to give away a penalty.

A little shaky at times, but grew into the game.

Liam Ridehalgh 6

A decent afternoon's work.

Jay Harris 6

Played his part, though not quite at his best. Subbed.

David Perkins 6

Charged around the field relentlessly. Booked.

Ollie Banks 7

Conceded a couple of silly fouls. Came close with a couple of shots.

Kieron Morris 6

Tried to stamp his authority. Subbed.

Connor Jennings 8.5

Match-winner.

James Norwood 8

Unlucky not to score. Made the County defence work all afternoon.

Ben Pringle 7 (Harris 51) Was effective after coming on in the second half.

Steve McNulty 7 (Morris 82’) Tightened up the Rovers defence when Newport were looking increasingly likely to score.

Adam Buxton 6 ( Nelson 115’)   Only on for 5 minutes but kept Newport at bay.
