5. Kamarai Swyer
Had a torrid time in the first half as Tutierov ran at him and past him relentlessly. Constantly backtracking and rarely able to get over halfway, let alone into the final third. Made a good tackle, albeit one that nearly ended up in his own net, just before half-time but it wasn't enough to save him from being hooked at the break... 5 Photo: Pete Norton

Not his most accurate or composed day in possession, it was all a bit frantic and rushed at times and he lost the ball cheaply once or twice. His off-the-ball work at least helped limit Exeter to few clear chances... 6 Photo: Pete Norton
