Hide AdDijksteel: Made a key intervention to deny Carvalho. Some authoritative defending and was assured. 8
Fry: One early mistake was not punished by Mitrovic. He and his fellow Boro defenders switched off once more in the second half and it was once too often. 6
McNair: Dominant performance at the back. But he and Fry would not have been happy with the goal, which spoilt things. 7

Hide AdPeltier: Sworn in on the right with Jones absent. Didn't let the team down. 6
Crooks: His meaty challenge downed Reed, but was a fair and honest one. Went very close to scoring just before half-time. Booked in second half. 6
Howson: The captain was on his game against talented opponents. Had to be. 7
