A even game throughout, North End were almost left cursing their luck but for a lack of accuracy 10 minutes from time.
Here's how the players fared on the day...
9. Jayson Molumby - 7
Showed good energy from his spot behind the striker, good runs from that role too. Signs that he can grow into that role as he learns more about the players around him, likes to move deeper to allow others space too.
10. Brad Potts - 6
Like Sinclair, he just wasn't involved enough. Both wingers struggled to impact the game at all but didn't change their runs or styles. Potts did last the 90 however.
11. Emil Riis - 6
Like Sinclair he showed early signs that it could have been a decent game for the young Dane but he faded as the afternoon went on. Neil seemed frustrated with the influence his forwards had, Riis being taken off before the end.
