Neither side arguably did enough to win the game, with Wes Foderingham making a number of saves that he will think of as comfortable while Simon Moore in the away goal wasn’t tested until late in the game.

. Wes Foderingham 6
Handed a rare chance with Olsen injured and made a few routine saves from Gyokeres, although one nervy moment saw him just about hold onto a cross as he hovered near his own goalline. Commanded his area well when required and deat with everything thrown at him. Photo: Simon Bellis
. Jayden Bogle 5
Had a couple of good opportunities to cross down the right early on, but he either underhit or overhit the centre and the chances went begging. Looked to create a good opening when he beat two men down the right but his cross was cut out by Moore. Given a tough task by Dabo when the Coventry man got forward Photo: Isaac Parkin
. Chris Basham 6
Back in his favoured position as Jokanovic switched back to a defensive three, Basham drove forward with the ball like the Basham of old at times and was defensively solid too. Photo: Darren Staples
. John Egan 5
Booked early in the game for pulling back Gyokores after the City man looked to skip away - cover from Basham probably saved it being anything more serious in terms of the colour of the card. On hand a couple of times for a timely block or header away Photo: Simon Bellis
