Adver Sport's Harry Abbott hands out his player ratings following Swindon Town's 3-2 defeat at Norwich City. 

LAWRENCE VIGOUROUX – 7.5

Made a string of superb saves to thwart the Canaries and marshalled his back-line well. Booked.

BEN PURKISS – 7

Took a while to get going up against Murphy but grew into it well and showed a strong reading of the game.

CHRIS ROBERTSON – 8.5

Always seemed to pop up with an important challenge and was a physical presence at the back.

OLLY LANCASHIRE – 8

The Swindon skipper got his side’s opening goal and was prominent in a defensive capacity too.

CHRIS HUSSEY – 8.5

Two delicious set-pieces to create both Town goals and his presence grew the longer the game went on.

JAMES BROPHY – 7.5

Caused his full-back a few problems and cut inside nicely to spearhead some probing attacks.

CONOR THOMAS – 7.5

Ferocious performance in the middle of the park with hustle and bustle and was as nuisance for his Canaries counterparts.

JAMES DUNNE – 9

Typified Town’s tenacity and it was an all-action performance as the heartbeat of the team. Prominent all evening. Booked

TOM SMITH – 6.5

A difficult occasion to be thrust into for the teenager but did not shirk any challenges until he was replaced just after the break.

PAUL MULLIN – 8.5

Seemed quiet to start with but exploded after the restart in his determination to drag Town back into the game.

HARRY SMITH – 8

Was involved in numerous Town attacks, held the ball up well and also went looking for it, and was a physical presence too.

Substitutes:

ELLIS IANDOLO – 7 (For T Smith, 49)

Added a more attacking spark and helped push Town’s creative capacity. Booked.
