Famewo: One or two errors in the first half. Key last-ditch challenge to deny Oates after his initial mistake on restart. 6

Valentin: Showed his pace going forward and was a threat. An outlet. Encouraging. 7

Bakinson: Held the middle ground in first half, but it was more of a test on restart. 6

Bannan: Some moments of quality and you’d expect given the opposition. 6

Paterson: A good assist for the opener and contributed on the night. 7

Musaba: Lift-off with his milestone first Owls goal. Still a fair bit to learn, but on the scoresheet at least. 6

Fletcher: Handed a start and you wanted more from him. 5

Windass: The game’s class act. Set up goal and hit the bar with a cracker and went close to scoring a few times. 8

Smith (Fletcher 71) 6.

Gregory (Musaba 71) 6.

Palmer (Valentin 80) 6.
