Baldwin: Cost his side by losing his head after the half-time whistle. Ridiculous. 2

Crichlow: Handed the unenviable brief of taking care of Molyneux, with Shepherd absent. Late goal. 6

Halliday: Berated by fans, Gibson was a pain at times. 6

Pattison: Went close with City’s sole first-half chance. 6

Khela: A couple of early concessions in middle set the tone. Couldn’t impose himself. 5

Adaramola: City’s main threat, certainly when game was 11 v 11. 7
