Alex Smithies 8
Produced a save in the first half that was genuinely world class. Denied Grady Diangana with another brilliant stop after the break.
Perry Ng 6
Plenty of endeavour down the right and stuck to his task well, but was guilty of giving the ball away a little too easily at times.
Mark McGuinness 7
Was given a stern test against the likes of Callum Robinson, but largely stood up well both in the tackle and in the air.
Aden Flint 7
As above really. A reasonably solid showing, with his red card after the full-time whistle the only real blot.
Curtis Nelson 7
A really decent showing. Was superb in the air and snuffed out danger on a couple of occasions.

Ryan Giles 6
Put in a couple of decent crosses, and made some decent runs, but wasn't really able to enjoy his usual influence.
Marlon Pack 7
Put his foot in well and was a real aerial presence all afternoon. One of his better games. Was perhaps lucky not to give away a penalty, mind.
Joe Ralls (c) 8
Laboured to find the final ball at times, but his delivery for Collins was inch-perfect. A calming influence in midfield overall.
Will Vaulks 7
Back to his usual tenacious self. Worked his socks off in the middle of the park and broke up play nicely. Long throws proved a threat too.
Mark Harris 6
Some really positive runs, and some really tidy touches, but just couldn't quite get going.
James Collins 8 (star man)
Worked his socks off all afternoon and deserved his goal. Hopefully there's more to come.
Subs
Rubin Colwill (on for Vaulks 79) - Came on too late to really make an impact - 5
