Player Ratings
Slicker – Little to do, but no errors. Some good punches clear. 6
Burns – Offside goal came from his side but otherwise composed and good in possession. 6
Egan-Riley – Led the side well, coming into midfield as an ‘inverted fullback’ when needed. 6
Mbete – Some good interceptions. Replaced at half time. 6
Wilson-Esbrand – Improved as the game went on, solid overall. 6
Lavia – Reliable in defensive midfield as Palmer and McAtee roam forwards. Another mature performance from the 17-year-old. 7
Palmer – Confident, dictated play, and a superb finish was followed by a lovely assist. Scunthorpe couldn’t get near him, as one goal and two assists proves. 8
McAtee – Not as impactful as his hat-trick last time out, but a good showing nonetheless. Alert for a deserved goal. 7
Bolton – Confident finish but a largely quiet performance when not on the ball. 7
Hamilton – Could have scored and assisted. Got better with every touch. 7
Sodje – A thankless task on his own against two big defenders. Held himself well and will learn plenty from the experience.. 6
Robinson (on 45) – Looked solid, especially after picking up a booking. 6
Larios (on 60) – Keen to make an impact. 6
Oduroh (on 71) – Lively in attack. 6
