In fairness, such was the bluntness of the Fleetwood attack, he could have completed 90 minutes with a cigar and a whiskey sour on the go. But what he had to do he did well, and he kept his concentration. Good save late on.

Looked supremely confident on the ball and showed it when pushing through a defence-evaporating ball in the set-up for the first goal. Solid. A 'no worries' footballer.

Defended nicely and won some important headers - his shot on 38 minutes was sweetly struck and forced a decent save from Lynch. Plenty came at his channel in the early stages but he coped. Recovery ability on display - at this stage I'm convinced he has the longest legs in Britain.
