On Page 2 are marks from fans given to the Examiner during the course of today via our player rater system.

ALEX SMITHIES
Beaten twice but made a valiant attempt to block the second after being left badly exposed. 6

TAMAS KADAR
The Newcastle loanee showed some good touches on his debut but tired towards the end. 6

LEE PELTIER
Tried his best to catch Joe Mason and prevent the second goal and worked hard on the right. 6

SCOTT ARFIELD
No shortage of sweat and running from the Scotsman but he struggled to make a mark on this clash. 5

PETER CLARKE
The skipper did his best to marshal the side and got the goal which turned out to be the clincher. 6

ANTONY KAY
Competed strongly, but was one of many Town players who struggled to find his range with passes. 5

ANTHONY PILKINGTON
Was a threat at set-pieces and always willing to run at the opposition, but too often his efforts came to nothing. 6

KEVIN KILBANE
Some of his balls went badly astray, but he also had a hand in two of Town’s goals and stuck to his task throughout. 6

JORDAN RHODES
The top scorer notched his 15th goal of the campaign and was Town’s most dangerous player. 6

LEE NOVAK
Gave 100% effort to the cause but was unable to find the goalden touch when in the penalty box. 5

GARY ROBERTS
Like Novak, he was a willing worker, but can be far more effective than he was in this match. 5
