Roy O'Donovan - 6

He does a lot of frustratingly unrewarded running. His so-called dip in form can only be blamed on the Irish striker so much, at the end of the day who’s supplying him?

Dimitri Petratos - 8

Another anonymous display for 94 or so minutes, one or two mandatory pops at goal the obvious exception. But oh my did he make it up in style with a phenomenal, goal-of-the-season worthy strike to wrap it up. Just pure class.

Jair - 8

He’s growing, bit by bit. You get the feeling that if Newcastle are going to make finals - and they're only two points off - Jair will play a key part in the Novocastrian's final surge.

Subs

Matthew Ridenton - 7

Played a largely defensive role to a key, a perfect substitution.

Joseph Champness - 6

Pressed intelligently from the front, a little ineffective off the break.

Kaine Sheppard - 6

His most substantial contribution was enticing James Donachie into a match-ending second yellow card.
