Alex Smithies 6 (star man)
Made a couple of really big saves, including the one which led to the second goal. Made a couple of big saves in the second half to keep the score at two.
Leandro Bacuna 4
Afforded far too much space to the Norwich attackers on his side. Needs to move back into midfield quickly.
Curtis Nelson 4
A fairly poor showing, all told. Lost his man for Norwich's first goal and Hugill gave him a tough time of it through. Needed to step up in Morrison's absence.
Joe Bennett 6
Made a couple of really key challenges, in an unfamiliar position, to his credit. Showed a real fighting spirit, too. Had a hard battle against the physical Hugill but did his utmost to combat it.
Joel Bagan 6
Perhaps took the safer option one too many times, but overall another solid showing from the youngster. Not too much to complain about.
Marlon Pack 3
Too pedestrian. Lost his man on countless occasions and made no impact at the top end of the pitch. Sent off for a second bookable offence and a horrible challenge on Skipp.
Will Vaulks 5
Played one killer pass to Bacuna in the first half and did the same in the second half, which led to Ralls' goal. Also played a couple of poor ones, too.
Joe Ralls 5
Had no influence at all in the first half, really, and still needs to do more to create chances, but took his own opportunity very well.
Harry Wilson 4
Missed an absolutely golden opportunity just seconds into the game. A player of his quality needs to take them. Made poor decisions and too many errors when it counted.
Junior Hoilett 5
A couple of nice crosses into the box, but didn't set the world alight. Probably the tidiest in possession of the forward players who started.
Robert Glatzel 4
Did what he usually does. Ran about, tried hard, but when it came to the moments that mattered he was just half a yard off the pace.
Subs
Kieffer Moore (on for Glatzel 58) 6 - Actually looked a handful when he came on, proving just how much they have missed him. Won header after header and created a few opportunities.
Sheyi Ojo (on for Hoilett 58) 5 - Didn't really do anything of note when he was introduced. Needs to rekindle that early-season form.
Josh Murphy (on for Bacuna 67) NA.
