Wales On Sunday

How they rated

- BY ANDREW GWILYM

KRISTOFFER NORDFELDT

Had very,very little to do during the opening half. but was busier after the break. Had a couple of uncertain moments with the ball at his feet as the game changed after the break and failed to come for one long ball where he had to help his defence. 5

MIKE VAN DER HOORN

Has been very good of late but looked a little uncertain here as the hosts looked to use the physical strength of Stead and Ameobi and had a couple of wobbles. 6

KYLE BARTLEY (CAPT)

Held off with ease by Ameobi for the goal and will have reason to think he could have looked to go and cut the cross out given how long it took to come to the striker. 6

ALFIE MAWSON

Will be disappoint­ed with the goal as he failed to see the ball out near the byline and County profited. Had a solid afternoon otherwise. 6

TOM CARROLL

Like Roberts he was prepared to get forward down the flanks in the wing-back role but his delivery was nowhere near as good as his colleague. Hit the first man with regularity. 4

RENATO SANCHES

So tentative during his time on the pitch and his passing and crossing were poor although lack of movement ahead of him did not help. Never really looked settled and then suffered the ignominy of more injury trouble. His memories of the FA Cup are unlikely to be fond given his last outing has seen him injured at Wolves. 4

LEROY FER

Looked to drive forward when space presented itself, and produced one lovely piece of skill to free Tom Carroll early in the second half but never took the game by the scruff of the neck when the chance was there to do so. 6

LUCIANO NARSINGH

Scored the goal but a very poor afternoon otherwise. Given plenty of chances to get at his full-back but often took the wrong option or delivered little in quality. Afternoon summed up by his falling over all on his own when freed in the first half. 5

WILFRIED BONY

Looked off the pace even against League Two opposition. Had trouble making the ball stick, missed a gilt-edged headed chance and missed his kick after more good work by Roberts. 5

TAMMY ABRAHAM

Back from injury but his movement and hold up play left a lot to be desired. Gave his midfielder­s few options to play forward and was guilty of being robbed of the ball too easily. 5
