MARKO MAROSI 6
Alert when he needed to be - but rarely tested by the visitors.
MATTY BLAIR 7
Filled in admirably for Craig Alcock at right back. Defended well and attacked the by-line when he got the chance.
MATHIEU BAUDRY 7

Hide AdMade one risky first half tackle in the box but otherwise defensively sound. Developing decent partnership with Butler.
ANDY BUTLER 7
Looked determined to make up for his mistake at Plymouth and marshalled the back-line impressively.
NIALL MASON 7
Comfortable on the ball and showcased some good passing. He’s made the left back spot his own.
JORDAN HOUGHTON 8
Brilliantly went about his business in typically understated fashion. Cool and composed.
HARRY MIDDLETON 6
Wanted a bit too much time on the ball at times.
TOMMY ROWE 8

LIAM MANDEVILLE 8
Playing with a swagger. Confidence personified. Brilliant free kick made it seven goals in nine games.
ANDY WILLIAMS 6
Continued his re-integration into the team with a hard-working 70 minutes. Starved of chances though.
JOHN MARQUIS 7
Might have done better with a couple of half chances but gave his all for the cause.
