Roberts: His booming long throws caused issues. Bitter moment late on for the veteran. 6

O'Connell: Had the best chance of first half and made no mistake in second. 7

Earl: Diligent enough. Made way at interval. 6

Bland: Rolled up his sleeves and did very well without his mate. His sort of game. 8

Yoganathan: Stupid early dismissal. 3

Phillips: Had to show responsibility as skipper. One of many in home jerseys to work their socks off. 7

Kelly: Excellent in the reverse fixture and showed energy and responsibility here. 7

Banks: Moments of threat against his old club. 7

Bradshaw. Did the hard yards as he always does. 6

Substitutes: De Gevigney (Earl HT) 6.

Watson (Bradshaw 79).

Farrell (O’Keeffe 89).

Bradford City

Walker: Made one acrobatic save to thwart Banks. 6

Neufville: Got in some good positions. 7

Metcalfe: Involved a fair bit, initially before fading. 6.

Power: Did not have it his own way against Bland. 6

Touray: On the receiving end of a wild Yoganathan challenge. Booked in second half. Set up second goal, kept going. 7

Swan: Returned to the starting line-up. Volleyed a good chance over and didn’t take his opportunity. 5

Humphrys: Jeered by home supporters on his Oakwell return. Moved more central in second half and helped turn the tide. 7
