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.
Subs not used: Will Henry, Jordan Young, Scott Twine
