Rarely tested. Made a couple of routine saves in the first half. Might have come to punch away the long throw that led to the goal but probably had too many bodies in front of him.

Reverted to the back three and showed a willingness to get forward into advanced areas. Final ball let him down too often but he wasn't the only one.

Recalled to the starting XI and didn't do much wrong in the middle of the back three.

Failed to make any contact after going up to head away the first minute long throw. Performed quite well in general.

Started the game poorly and never really got out of second gear. Didn't look anywhere near 100% fit.

Picked up an injury in the aftermath of Gills' first minue goal and never looked comfortable. Replaced after 27 minutes by Matt Smith.

Committed as ever, but lacked a final product. Dropped into wing back following Jackson's withdrawal but continued to get into the box and cause a threat.

Neat and tidy in possession but couldn't find a killer pass and spent a lot of time in deep areas.
