But who were the bright sparks and who drew a blank? let’s take a look at the ratings from the KCOM.
5. Liam Palmer - 7
Liam Palmer did what Liam Palmer does. Solid in defence, he kept Bowen quiet and contributed smartly to the attack when the time was right. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Adam Reach - 5
A quieter evening for Reach after a blistering return to form on Saturday. He wasn't afforded the space he was at Middlesbrough. Battled hard as ever but wasted a golden injury time chance. Photo: Simon Cooper
7. Sam Hutchinson - 6
Picked up a needless yellow card and will now miss Saturday's clash with Wigan. Made some important interceptions but the game passed him by a touch. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Barry Bannan - 7
Bright in moments but failed to deliver the knockout ball. The delivery from set pieces wasn't at its sparkling best, but he was the best of a midfield that looked a little lethargic. Photo: Steve Ellis
