Isaias - 7

Ran the show for the Reds, had more touches than any other player. The Spaniard was well organised and smart on the ball.

Vince Lia - 6

Dispossessed most of Newcastle's attacking raids in the first half but inadvertenly assisted their opener.

Nathan Konstandopoulos - 5

Largely ineffectual, misplaying too many passes and not creating enough. Received a booking for time wasting in the second.

Nikola Mileusnic - 7

His speed caused a couple of issues and played a role in getting his side back on level terms.

Ryan Kitto - 7

His speed caused issues for Koutroumbis and the Newcastle defence, winning a couple of fouls and delivering some dangerous crosses.

George Blackwood - 7

Once again found the back of the net for the Reds. Wasn't given much service but made it count when he was.
