Hide AdJanos Kovacs: 6 – Strapping centre half suffered at the hands of the physical Reds’ forwards and was hauled off at the break.
Alex Lawless: 6 – No-one was at the races in the first half, but looked to get on the ball in the second period.
Jake Howells: 6 – Could get nowhere near the sort of dominant displays from recent games as Town’s midfield was overrun.
Adam Watkins: 5.5 – Worst possible birthday present as he couldn’t get into the game at all and was withdrawn at half time.

Hide AdJJ O’Donnell: 5.5 – Harried and hassled the Alfreton midfielders, but never once came close to getting on top of his opponents.
Jake Robinson: 6 – Baptism of fire as he was thrown in against the powerful Reds back-line. Threatened occasionally and will hope this isn’t the norm.
Ronnie Henry: 6 – Unhappy return to the side for the skipper as Town were easily disposed of.
Andre Gray: 5.5 – Radar was well and truly off as he spurned a number of presentable chances.

Hide AdStuart Fleetwood, pictured, (sub): 6.5 – Shame he was only fit enough for the bench as looked dangerous.
Yaser Kasim (sub): 6.5 – Eager to get on the ball and find his Town team-mates.
Connor Essam (sub): 5.5 – Another who struggled against the aerial bombardment.
