Pulled off some good saves from Cooper, Hutchinson and Mahoney over the course of the game - the first and third of those in one-on-one situations. | pa Photo: PA
. Tom Clarke 6
Played at right-back. Solid enough with his defending - making a vital far post clearance in the second half - but doesn't have the attacking instinct | jpimedia Photo: Camerasport
. Patrick Bauer 7
In the main cleared his lines well and won his headers. At times Millwall's pace on the break caused him and his fellow defenders issues. | jpimedia Photo: Camerasport
. Ben Davies 6
Showed uncharacteristic hesitancy when he presented Bradshaw with a free run on the goal in the second half. He was kept busy in the second half as Millwall played on the break. | jpimedia Photo: Camerasport
. Andrew Hughes 6
In the first half got forward well but final pass or cross wasn't quite there.Had Millwall's counter-attacks to deal with in the second half. | jpimedia Photo: Camerasport
