im just back from the game too, so can disagree with you on a couple of points:
marshall - looked pretty damn good to me - the only reason his 'handling' looked suspect was because he was being fouoled by their forwards at most corners. PNE's corners were excellent as well, almost every one came in right under the crossbar, which are the hardest ones for the keeper to deal with anyway.
Otsemebor - looked quality, our best player for me
brellier - looked quality too - i must have missed the tackles he pulled out of as i witnessed at least two bonecrunchers.
shackell looked good and solid to me, although nothing was really being created around him so it was hard to tell whether it was him playing well or the fact that all of PNE's strikers were unfit.
Drury looked like a pansy. Fotheringham diabolical when he came on.
Brown was excellent, although hard to see when him every getting a goal.
Agree about Russell though, he was excellent.
