Town eventually ground down Scunny's stubborn resistance and claimed all three points courtesy of second-half goals from Sam Hoskins and Danny Rose. Here are our player ratings from a dominant home performance...
5. Ali Koiki
A first start in the league and couldn't have asked for a much gentler introduction. Didn't need to do a lot of defending and motored forward with regularity, embarking on one particularly barnstorming run down the left... 7.5
6. Jordan Flores
Quietly efficient in the middle of the park, especially either side of half-time when Town grabbed a firm stranglehold on the contest. Still think he has a lot more in the tank... 7
7. Paul Lewis
He was let off the leash when Scunthorpe lost a man and regularly found himself in the penalty box. Spurned several chances, including heading one against the bar, seeing another scooped off the line and ballooning a third over, but at least he got himself in those positions. Keep doing that and he'll score a few... 7.5
8. Mitch Pinnock
Smashed a free-kick into the wall and put some decent balls into the box, but not quite his day on the creative front. Withdrawn for Connolly on the hour... 7
