MATCH RATING

Entertainment 7

ANYON: Had little chance with Bradford's goal and produced a competent display to put Saturday's howler behind him 7

YATES: Made a solid contribution before being taken off at the break 7

OWEN: Often sat back and let McCombe attack the ball, but was always well positioned to mop up 7

McCOMBE: An energetic display from the centre-half, who put his body on the line at both ends of the pitch 8

COLLINS: Reliable on both flanks, but needed more support during the first half when the visitors enjoyed plenty of possession down the right 7

R TAYLOR: Produced flashes of brilliance, including his second-half cross which set up equaliser and his 25-yard winner 8

GRIFFITH: Tried to inspire his side with some typical tough tackling, although his distribution was wayward on occasions 7

FRASER: Offered plenty of running from the centre 7

HALDANE: Posed a threat down the flank and when drifting inside, but was sometimes wasteful 7

RICHARDS: Missed two superb chances in the first period, but stuck to his task to hit his 16th goal of the campaign after the break 7

DAVIES: Remains an enigmatic figure as his good work is sometimes undone by poor decision-making – but always posed a threat 7
