Here’s how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players’ performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Balazs Toth - 8
Made several impressive stops, including an important one to deny Hirst from a one-on-one in the first half.
Ryan Alebiosu – 7
Had a few good moments in the final third, whether it was from driving past his man or cutting inside onto his left foot.
Scott Wharton – 7
Good to see the defender get another start under his belt as he continues to build up his sharpness, and he didn’t look out of place again.
Lewis Miller – 8
Looked comfortable in a back four. Nearly let McAteer in at one stage but recovered with a well-timed challenge.
Yuri Ribeiro – 7
Defended resiliently and put the Ipswich defence under pressure with his crossing when the chances arose.
Sondre Tronstad – 7
Carried out some important defensive work in the tough conditions, offering further protection to the backline.
Taylor Gardner-Hickman – 7
Stepped in as a late replacement for Sidnei Tavares and gave a decent account of himself on his first start for the club.
Ryoya Morishita – 7
A constant source of energy on the right flank and forced Palmer into a smart stop after drifting inside in the first half.
Todd Cantwell – 8
Struggled to make his mark in the opening 45 minutes but won the penalty and kept his cool to slot is past Palmer.
Ryan Hedges – 7
Started brightly and caused the visitors problems with his pressing. Nearly got on the end of a couple of crosses at the far post.
Yuki Ohashi – 7
Used his pace to get away from Greaves which led to the sending off. Combined well with Morishita in the early stages.
Substitutes: Andri Gudjohnsen (65’), Sean McLoughlin (71’), Augustus Kargbo (71’)
