PLAYER RATINGS

MARTIN: The teenager doesn't look out of his depth in the first-team firing line and two excellent second-half saves kept Bury at bay 8

STOCKLEY: Loves to wear the skipper's armband and led from the front with a mixture of good positional play and sharp distribution 7

COLLINS: His last-gasp challenge near the end ensured his side gained a valuable point. A welcome return to the first team 8

McCOMBE: Seems more relaxed these days and not so prone to inconsistency. Made a couple of crucial challenges and a goal-line clearance for good measure 8

EDWARDS: Showed huge commitment against dangerous winger Elliott Bennett, and was always ready to cover his centre-halves 7

HOWLAND: A true team player, the Irishman made the most of his chance with a typically hard-working display 7

MARSHALL: Provides a creative edge in the middle, which is where he belongs as opposed to being seconded to the flank 6

BRAMMER: Struggled to make his usual impact as he endeavours to improve his flagging fitness 5

TAYLOR: At his best when he was able to use his strength as the dazzling wing play has dried up for now 5

DODDS: A selfless show from the 22-year-old, who played an unglamorous part Lawrie's goal 6

LAWRIE: Great goal to cap a fine all-round performance from a young man with a seemingly bright future ahead of him 9
