Hatters rated v Gateshead

Lathaniel Rowe-Turner: 5.5 – Got forward well but struggled with his end product.

Greg Taylor: 5 – Looked out of sorts on the right, but gave it his best shot.

Janos Kovacs: 5.5 – Was given a tough time by the uncompromising Hatch but looked far more solid in the second half.

Scott Rendell: 6 – Dropped far too deep at times but looked most effective when up top.

Jake Howells: 7 – Bursting with energy and looked a class act in the centre of midfield.

Stuart Fleetwood: 6.5 – Not as involved as he might have liked, but created Town’s first and produced a fine finish for the equaliser.

JJ O’Donnell: 6 – Plenty of running and endeavour but will have to become more effective.

Yaser Kasim: 5.5 – Neat and tidy, but was sacrificed to give Town more of an attacking look.

Ronnie Henry: 6.5 – Defence was flat-footed at times, but the new skipper was a reassuring influence.

Andre Gray: 5 – Never really got into his stride and was well marshalled by Gateshead’s organised defence.

Jon Shaw (sub): 7 – His introduction turned the game on its head and helped give the Hatters a real cutting edge.

Alex Lawless (sub): 6 – Appeared to be far more natural at right-back than Taylor and helped to give Town’s attacks more direction.

Adam Watkins (sub): 6 – Bright and keen in the middle and could have won it, but dragged his late left-footed effort wide.
