Tommy Simkin - 7

Key - Produced a crucial double save at the start of the second half to deny Elliot Embleton, and then Matthew Dennis on the follow-up.

Oisin McEntee - 7

Glorious chance - Dealt with his defensive duties relatively well but missed a glorious chance in stoppage time when he headed straight at Carlisle goalkeeper Gabe Breeze from point-blank range.

David Okagbue - 7

Solid - Was outjumped by Aaron Hayden for Carlisle's equaliser, but was generally solid overall, throwing his body on the line to block Jordan Jones' effort in stoppage time.

Taylor Allen - 7

Goal scorer - Extended his season tally to seven goals with an early opener and brought the very best out of Carlisle goalkeeper Gabe Breeze with a thunderbolt from outside the box.
