Famara Diedhiou and Zak Vyner scored the goals as PNE were made to travel home empty handed.
Here's how the players fared on the day...
5. Andrew Hughes - 6
A steady day for the left back though his header back towards the centre of the goal set Vyner up for his goal. Won the header well but perhaps too keen. Wasteful in possession down the line at times too.
6. Ben Whiteman - 7
A really promising first showing from the new man. Was the metronome in the midfield and looked to play forward often too. Was under little pressure on the day so will have harder tests.
7. Alan Browne - 6
Showed good vision to spread the play but found himself chasing the ball a lot without being able to influence too much on it. A day for his application and engine rather than his finesse.
8. Tom Barkhuizen - 6
Had a quiet game before being taken off, neither wingers had much in the contest and were often left flat footed up against the Robins defence. Would love to see him set off and attack the space in behind more.
