JED STEER

Made some decent saves and especially unfortunate with Preston’s leveller. 6

TOMMY SMITH

Returned from suspension, did well and came close to a second Town goal. 7

JAMES HUSBAND

Looked solid on his second Town start and 100th game at club level. 6

MARTIN CRANIE

Again at centre-half in Mark Hudson’s absence, and won plenty in the air. 7

JOEL LYNCH

Worked hard, came close to scoring and was out of luck with the own goal. 7

JONATHAN HOGG

No shortage of industry and thought he had levelled the match late on. 6

PHILIP BILLING

Always looked happy on the ball, tackled well and made some good passes. 8

JOE LOLLEY

Back after illness, had his moments, but could have done more with chances. 6

JAMIE PATERSON

Good at times but floated in and out of this game a touch too much. 6

HARRY BUNN

Never imposed himself and another who could have made more of opportunities. 6

NAHKI WELLS

Claimed his 12th goal of the season, but other good chances went begging. 6
