(6 Average)

Steven Mildenhall- 8, Star Man. Notts' man of the match for his double save alone, we would of needed our calculater's if it wasn't for him.

Nicky Fenton- 5, Fenton at right back, playing badly???You lie. It's a well known fact this isn't his position to everyone apart from the man that picks the side.

Danny Livesey- 6, Had a tough evening faced with Lowe & Darby. Still did okay considering the team around him.

Tony Barras- 5, Gave away the penalty and had his worst game yet in a Notts shirt. Found it hard going against Lowe & failed to pick him up for their first.

Kevin Nicholson- 6, He was actually better than he was in earlier games. I still think he's a far better left winger though & that Riley should of got his chance ahead of him.

Paul Bolland- 5, Nothing like his heroics on Saturday. Was very much beaten by their left winger, Rodney Jack. Missed a sitter.

Darren Caskey- 5, One half of our most ineffective midfield pairing for a long time. Created little, if anything at all. Was named as captain.

Ian Baraclough- 4, One of the worst games i've seen him play. I'm all for Bara but he's dreadfully off form at the moment and has had an awful season so far.

Simon Baldry- 6, Was our best midfileder again but understandably struggled on the left. Cut in every time, which Rushden's right back quickly spotted and eliminated any threat. We need him back on the right of the midfield.

Clive Platt- 5, Missed two good chances to open his Notts account. Perhaps some of the criticism from the stands didn't help, I'd still prefer him to Hackworth. Hardly set the world on fire with this performance though.

Mark Stallard- 7, Great goal to get off the mark. Was our ONLY threat all game and had a second chance to score which Tulley was a tad fortunate to save.

Subs

Tony Hackworth (On 78 for Platt)- 5, Did he touch the ball?

Michael Brough (On 78 for Caskey)- 6, Came close when he connected with a Stallard cross. Will always give 100%.

Paul Riley (On 78 for Nicholson)- 5, Saw very little of the ball. Why was he brought on as a straight swap with Nicholson? I bet that terrified their defenders.
