ALEX SMITHIES
Did what he needed to as Town collected a fifth clean sheet. Booked for handling outside his area. 7

PAUL DIXON
Played with real purpose, covered for teammates effectively and came close to a first Town goal. 8

JACK HUNT
The right-back tackled strongly and attacked with purpose on his return from a two-match suspension. 7

PETER CLARKE
The stand-out skipper set the tone for a top afternoon’s work with a brave early block from Tomasz Cywka. 8

JOEL LYNCH
The centre-back was calm and collected as Town restricted their hosts to just a handful of chances. 8

SIMON CHURCH
A bright debut from the new boy, who showed flexibility and created Beckford’s goal. Booked for a foul. 8

ADAM CLAYTON
Covered a lot of ground as he went about his work in central midfield with the minimum of fuss. 7

KEITH SOUTHERN
No shortage of effort from the experienced operator, but Town weren’t as dominant in midfield as they have been. 7

JERMAINE BECKFORD
Made a welcome comeback after a hamstring injury to claim a crucial third goal in six loan appearances. 8

LEE NOVAK
Last Tuesday’s two-goal hero looked a touch tired in the first half, but certainly came to life in the second. 8

SEAN SCANNELL
Did plenty of work down the flanks and played an important role in Town’s winning goal. 7

Substitutes:
Danny Ward (forBeckford, 60mins) 7;
