It proved a night to forget for the Blues, with three goals conceded without reply, Marlon Pack sent off, a clear penalty not awarded with the game finely poised and substitute Michael Jacobs limping off in the second half with a hamstring injury.

Restored to the centre of defence in the second half, where he looked far more comfortable than an overlapping full-back. Photo: National World
6. Owen Dale - 5
(Replaced by Jay Mingi on 67 minutes): Bright at the beginning, but soon faded. Made it two disappointing performances in a row from the talented winger capable of so much more. Photo: National World
7. Marlon Pack - 5
A booking in each half led to his sending off. Before that had been hit and miss and he fought desperately to inspire the Blues. Photo: NationalWorld
8. Joe Morrell - 7
The pick of all the midfielders, but that’s not saying much. Kept plugging away until the last minute, even though that should be a gimme. Photo: National World
