Tommy Simkin 

The keeper had very little to do over the course of the 90 minutes. He did go down with a couple of injuries, of course - they were tactical. 

Smart: 7

Liam Gordon

Played such an important part in the fixture over the two legs. Constant threat on the left, and defended expertly too.

Exceptional: 8 

Taylor Allen 

Made one outstanding challenge in the first half that stopped what looked like a certain goal for Chesterfield. Complete Rolls-Royce in the second.

Superb: 9

Harry Williams

Had a couple of tricky moments up against the pacey Bim Pepple, who turned him a few times, but was good in the air and ensured the pacey forward was quiet after the break.
