What a special Easter win against the Cats on Monday, for what is fast becoming a special group of footballers representing our proud club.

The kids can play, the experienced soldiers have a new outlook on life, and our coaching panel seems to be settled and working well together.

And it makes rating performances all the more sweeter after such a wonderful uplifting display - so this pod was definitely a fun one to put together.

In the hours following the game, Ashley Browne, Darren Levin and Andrew Weiss cast their eyes over the performance of all 23 players who took to the field and rated each of them based on what they saw.

Don’t forget you can keep listening via this article - or by following us in your favourite podcast store - including via Apple podcasts and Spotify.

Should we have given more players a rating of nine or above? And who were we unfairly harsh on? You can join us live on Twitter Spaces (@HawkInsiders) on Tuesday night for this weeks Safe Space to have your say.
