Got forward to support and put in a great cross for Arnaud Gnanduillet. Defensively he had a surprisingly tougher time, with Arbroath mainly threatening down his side.

Solid enough at the back but didn't do enough going to contribute to the attack. Often seemed hesitant to go forward as much as Smith on the other side.

Gets an extra point for the number of times he had to clean up after his centre-back partner. Was dominant in the air too.
