How they rated

RYAN BENNETT

Helped to combat the aerial threat of Lee Bowyer’s side and looked good when carrying the ball forwards.

KYLE NAUGHTON

Made a few timely clearances and mixed things up well when it came to getting Swansea up the pitch.

RYAN MANNING

Fairly comfortable in the first half without doing anything particularly noteworthy. Superb assist for Michael Obafemi to equalise though.

ETHAN LAIRD

The Manchester United loanee twisted George Friend and Kristian Pedersen inside and out at times with his direct running and pace. End product wasn’t there, but it wasn’t for the lack of trying.

KOREY SMITH

Operating in a deeper role due to the absence of Flynn Downes, Smith didn’t really have much to do other than help shift the ball around.

MATT GRIMES

The captain was very good on the ball aside from a loose pass in the opening 10 minutes. A couple of good defensive interventions, but couldn’t have the killer impact in the final third.

JOEL LATIBEAUDIERE

Grew in stature as the first half wore on, although his final delivery wasn’t quite up to scratch which is understandable given his lack of game time and positional switch. Pretty quiet in attack in the second half after a period on the left.

OLIVIER NTCHAM

The Frenchman protected the ball so well on numerous occasions but didn’t have the spark needed in the final third. Looked a tad rusty given his injury struggles as was subbed.

JAMIE PATERSON

The attacker was quiet in the first half and didn’t really give the Blues much to worry about. A couple of flashes in the second half that didn’t really materialise into anything positive.

JOEL PIROE

As has often been the case this term, Piroe had very few touches in the opening half and didn’t get a sniff in front of goal. Same after the restart before he was subbed.
