Kasumu: Showed his importance to the Town cause. Bang at it. 8

Miller: Some mixed set-plays, but his work ethic could not be faulted. 6

Marshall: Denied by a fine Slonina save. Pestered Barnsley. 7

Radulovic: Should have put Town in front early in second half. Linked play well at times. 6

Roberts: Had to hold things together at times. 7

Earl: Another who was kept busy at back. 6

Cotter: Lucky not to get booked in first half. 5

Connell: Not in the best of form at the minute by his standards. 5

Gent: Little chance to get forward as Town kept him busy. 5

Keillor-Dunn: Struggled to get into the game in a ‘ten’ role. 5

Cosgrove: Little to feed off, although went close ahead of the break and fired over in the final quarter. 6
