Josh Griffiths 

Could not really do a great deal with both of the goals, a top finish and one through a crowded area. Produced a save in the second half to keep it at 2-1 with Watford having shots from range.

Save 6

Alfie Gilchrist 

Looked good early on, with a few progressive forward passes. Looked defensively solid for most of his for his 55 minutes on the field, with some timely and important blocks in the first period. Disappointingly hobbled off early in the second half.

Debut 6

Nat Phillips 

A poor evening for the otherwise reliable defender. His poor header out fell to Louza for the goal - and then on the second one it couldn't adjust his feet and clear before it was fired home.

Poor 5

Chris Mepham

Okay for the most part, after a disappointing display on Saturday. Won his headers and produced a crucial interception to flick behind a dangerous cross early in the second half.

Decent 6

Callum Styles
