ALEX SMITHIES
Had one of those days when the ball just wouldn’t stick, but he retained his composure and kept a clean sheet 6

PAUL DIXON
Very solid show from the Scotland international, who was never afraid to clatter into the 50-50 challenges 8

JACK HUNT
Joined in Town’s attacks with pace and gusto whenever he could. Booked for a late challenge on Jamie Ward 7

JOEL LYNCH
A rare early mistake, giving the ball away, jolted him back into his usual commanding form in the middle 7

PETER CLARKE
Strong and dependable, he produced a couple of excellent blocks to deny the efforts of Conor Sammon 7

OLIVER NORWOOD
His passing often relieved pressure in what was, at times, a congested midfield battle. Composed 7

KEITH SOUTHERN
His hard graft at both ends of the pitch ensured Town came away with three points when they were forced to dig in 8

ADAM CLAYTON
Released Adam Hammill to created the goal and also went close himself with a raking 35-yard drive 7

ADAM HAMMILL
Made a very positive first impression on the home fans and produced a super cross for Ward’s goal 8

JAMES VAUGHAN
Worked extremely hard once again up front alongside Hammill, never shirking a tough physical battle 7

Got across James O’Connor superbly to flick home Hammill’s cross and settle what was a tough battle 7
