MYLES ROBERTS 

Had very little work to do until conceding a consolation late on despite getting a glove to Joe Ironside's header. 

Spectator: 6

PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON

Overcame a couple of nervy early moments to head Walsall into the lead and grew in stature throughout with a dominant defensive performance.

Grew: 7

ADEN FLINT 

A towering force. Played a crucial role as a blocker for the Saddlers' opener and set-up the third for Jamille Matt with a phenomenal cross.

Towering: 8 

EVAN WEIR 

One of his best performances in a number of weeks and set-up the opener with an excellent corner delivery for Farquharson.
