The debutant had been comfortable and untested up until the 65th minute but had some shaky moments after that and was a little indecisive on occasions.

Both goals came down Chesterfield’s right side which he will be disappointed with. Had a decent first half as he showed plenty of energy going forward.

Defended really well in the opening 45 minutes and came out fired up. But like his fellow defenders, will be frustrated at the two goals conceded.
