Hide AdThomas: Plenty of work and tracked back well. Silly booking, mind. 6
Rudoni: Fair bit of responsibility on his shoulders. Played his part in opener. 6
Kamara: Nervy start. Settled and his cross led to breakthrough. Better on resumption. 7
Jackson: Came into the game and was an outlet on left. Lots of spirit and energy. 7

Hide AdHolmes: Quiet start. But went onto do his job efficiently. 6
Ward: Fine cross for the second goal and put in a very good shift. 7
Rhodes: Went close with a half-volley. Showed his nous. 7
Substitutes: Mahoney (Rudoni 66), 6; Turton (Holmes 78) 6; Ruffels (Jackson 78) 6; Ondo (Ward 88).
Not used: Bilokapic, Spencer, Diarra.
Hull City
Baxter: Not given a great deal of protection. 6

A Jones: The City backline weren’t convincing all game. 5

Hide AdGreaves: Key block to prevent Town getting a third. Ward and Rhodes gave the Hull defence issues. 5
Elder: Came off at half-time. 6
Slater: Sacrificed early in the second half with Hull chasing game. 5
Tufan: Poise on the ball, but a stroller in the middle. Continuity player. 6
Christie: Inadvertent role in the opening goal. Not the one he would have liked. 5
