WILL HENRY – 4
Could do nothing about the first two goals but a howler for the third cut short his side’s comeback
NATHAN THOMPSON – 6
Shunted out from centre-back to right back but did not let the change affect his performance and was strong in defence, while also helping out in attack
DION CONROY – 7
Was a little unsteady to start with but grew into the game and did a decent enough job of keeping Billy Sharp quiet
RAPHAEL BRANCO – 5
Beaten too easily for United’s second goal and did not look as comfortable without Thompson alongside him in the middle
FANKATY DABO – 4
Bags on energy and got forward well but a horror moment hurt Town’s solid start and allowed United to break the deadlock
ROHAN INCE – 7
Shows so much discipline to stick to his task of anchoring the midfield and got in some really important challenges to break up play BEN GLADWIN – 7 Did not feature heavily in the first half but improved after the break, highlighted but his superb long-range goal. Subbed.
CHARLIE COLKETT – 8
A screamer of a strike helped kick Town into life in the second half and showed his usual lovely array of passes
JOHN GODDARD – 7
Still looks a bit lightweight but showed some superb touches and has the ability to glide past people with ease
JONATHAN OBIKA – 6
Quiet in the first half but was more involved after the break, although did not really have a decent chance at goal all night
NICKY AJOSE – 6
Made some good runs that went wanting because of overhit passes from team-mates, although his poacher’s instinct cost his side a goal Substitutes:
LUKE NORRIS – 5
(For Gladwin, 84) No time to make an impact on the game
Subs not used: Conor Thomas, Anton Rodgers, Ellis Iandolo, Jesse Starkey, Scott Twine, Jordan Simpson.
