Hide AdPaudie O'Connor. Disciplined defensive performance, up against a wily campaigner in Marquis. 7
Nathaniel Knight-Percival: Made a key first-half block to deny Wilks and justified his inclusion. 7
Adam Chicksen: Up against a livewire in Wilks and contained him for the most part. 6
Jermaine Anderson: Lining up against the side who he featured for on loan earlier this season and made a minimal impression. Did spurn one second-half chance under pressure. 5

Lewis O'Brien: Plenty of energy, desire and tenacity. 7
David Ball: Displayed industry throughout and went close early in the second half following an enterprising run. 7
