1. JON McLAUGHLIN - 6
Little he could do about the opening goal as Hall fired past him from the edge of the area. Made a big save in the second half, turning a firm effort from Baptiste wide of the post with his side 1-0 down. Photo: Frank Reid
2. TOM FLANAGAN - 6
Defended with tenacity and won most of his aerial duels. Helped force the equaliser at a corner. Photo: Adam Davy
3. JOEL LYNCH - 6
Sacrificed early in the second half as Parkinson looked to move away from a back five and get more players in the final third. Defended resolutely enough but offered little in possession. Photo: Frank Reid
4. DENVER HUME - 6
Offered an outlet down the left in the first half, constantly driving into space and giving his team-mates a rare outlet in possession. Faded in the second and came off with just over 20 minutes to go. Photo: Frank Reid
