John Egan – failed to connect with a good first-half chance but his equaliser was brilliant 7

Jack Robinson – mixed bag from the centre-back – some good attacking play but a sloppy and costly foul throw and should have been punished by Vydra for giving the ball away 6

George Baldock – had a hand in the goal 7

Sander Berge – visibly gaining in confidence, though he missed a few good opportunities 7
