CALMAC – 6.5/10 – Quiet control and disciplined oversight of the middle. Due to the newfound dynamism ahead and around him, Calmac was able to move through the motions and get an added bonus of an early rest with the weekend in mind.

THE TERMINATOR – 6/10 – Much like Calmac, a reserved but solid appearance; minder and provider for the skipper’s command. We still await the Bundesliga promise of his pedigree flaring into consistent quality, but playing in that role as of tonight, is the best way to see if he’s really got it in him.
