John Mousinho appeared set for successive home wins following Colby Bishop’s volley, until a long throw was netted by Thomas in the 89th minute.

2. Matt Macey - 8
Another key performance from the impressive loanee, in the first half especially. Clawed Phillips’ lob onto the bar and a bit later stopped Cole’s one-on-one. Photo: None
3. Di'Shon Bernard - 8
Asked to play at right-back and looked confident in the role, showing great physicality and loving a tackle. Should have also scored with a header from Jacobs' second-half corner. Photo: None
4. Sean Raggett - 8
Bernard’s arrival has created added pressure and the centre-half responded superbly. Rock solid throughout, dominant aerially and also used possession well. Photo: NationalWorld
