Helik: Had a real battle with Hugill. 7

Ruffles: Steady away on the day. 6

Thomas: Plenty of appetite going forward and defensively and looked the part. Set up the opener and fired in a cracking second. 8

Hogg: Put himself about and was on-message before an unfortunate injury. 7

Rudoni: Not the force he can be, but still did his bit. 7

Wiles: Terrific energy, but passed up a huge chance to score. 6

Koroma: Fancied it against a former club and got the opener and set up the second. 8

Harratt: Excellent work-rate after being handed his first league start on home soil. Missed one big chance. 7
