ADVER Sport's Tom Bassam hands out his ratings from Town's thumping 4-2 win at Rochdale.
Wes Foderingham
Almost stopped the penalty, made a great save to deny Bunney early on and from Rose's free-kick. 8
Took a while to adapt back into life on the right side, with Dale exploting his shakeyness in the opening stages, but settled later on. His late own goal was unfortunate. 6
Jack Stephens
Incredible assist for Smith's goal and merited his selection in the middle of the back three with a classy performance. 8
Sam Ricketts
Mature performance in another new, if still familiar role. Shackled Vincenti with smart positioning. 7
Nathan Byrne
Fed Gladwin for his goal and was productive on the right all night. 8
Anton Rodgers
A bit ponderous on and off the ball at times, but settled into a nice passing rhythm in the second half. 6
Massimo Luongo
At the base of the midfield he was a wonderful pivot and sprung a lot of Town's attacks. 8
Ben Gladwin
A first-half hat-trick, each goal a bit different, had it not been for the penalty this could have been a 10. 9*
Harry Toffolo
Town's quitest player, but by no means a bad performance. 6
Jonathan Obika
Another good display of link play and endeavour. Should have scored in the second-half, but otherwise looks in good form. 7
Michael Smith
Good goal after missing an early opportunity. Had a physical battle with the Dale centre-backs, you would have to say he was the victor. 8
Subs
John Swift (on for Gladwin, 70)
Was bright when he came on and even had a chance to add a goal of his own. 7
AndyWilliams (on for Obika, 70)
More quiet than Swift, did not get into it
Jermaine Hylton (on for Smith, 85) (booked)
Harshly booked for a dive, otherwise liitle of note. 6
