The New Year’s Eve game didn’t really go off with a bang…..in fact it barely raised a whimper.
Matthew Ridenton – 6
Missed the best opportunity of the first half when he skied a shot from six yards out, and had another late when one-on-one with Kennedy. Not sure if playing that far forward is his best position.
Goran Paracki – 7
Not a bad night for the Croatian. Strode forward and distributed well to his teammates.
Michael McGlinchey – 6.5
Up against the club he played more than 100 games for and combined with Paracki and Krishna well. No killer balls though when they were needed.
Tom Doyle – 6.5
Busy first half high on the left for the Nix and opened up space for others. Quieter in the second half and faded as the game went on.

Roy Krishna – 7.5
What a difference the Fijian flyer makes. Some great runs, shoots on sight and just brought so much positivity to their play. Sent Ridenton through in the 44th minute with a beauty of a pass. Seventy-nine very good minutes.
Andrija Kaluderovic – 7
Almost snuck past Kennedy in the 17th minute and was a positive target man for the Nix. Unfortunately couldn’t get enough ball in the second half to make a huge contribution.
SUBS
Adam Parkhouse – 6
The 79th minute substitute ried to get involved in his limited time but not enough ball to make a difference.
Dylan Fox – N/A
Came on in the 88th minute for Marco Rossi to help bolster the defence.
Sarpreet Singh – N/A
Came on in the 94th minute.
