How they rated

-

DILLON PHILLIPS

Made a succession of really good saves in the first half from some decent strikes. Put his body on the line once or twice collecting balls in the air, too.

PERRY NG

A far brighter performanc­e from the wing-back, popping up with a couple of decent efforts on goal.

CURTIS NELSON

Was once again probably the best of the central defenders. Booked for a poor challenge on Gary Gardner in the second half after Doyle sold him short with a pass.

OLIVER DENHAM

Still needs to fill out a bit, getting beaten too often in the air from crosses. Onel Hernandez had the better of him on occasion, too. Otherwise decent enough.

CODY DRAMEH

Had a couple of poor moments defensivel­y, which isn’t like him, but also some decent opportunit­ies in attack, too. Smashed one close-range effort straight at Etheridge.

RYAN WINTLE

Didn’t really notice him too much in the first half, ticking play over as is the norm for him. Taken off at the break.

ELI KING

A big test for the youngster. Juninho Bacuna’s pass was played through him for Jeremie Bela’s goal and lost possession once or twice. Hooked at half-time.

MARK MCGUINNESS

Produced a horror challenge on Onel Hernandez, for which away fans wanted to see red, but it was just a caution. Made a couple of decent, last-gasp clearances.

TOMMY DOYLE

His poor free-kick led to the counter-attack for Bela’s goal. Linked up play well enough and hit a lovely 30-yard free-kick straight at Etheridge. Hobbled off with an injury.

MARK HARRIS

A frustratin­g one, because he looked sharp and harried from the front, getting into some decent positions throughout. But his end product just let him down a little.

JORDAN HUGILL

As ever, gave his all and ran himself into the ground Scored a lovely goal before being given offside. A decent outing.
