Alex Smithies 7
Couldn't do a great deal about the goal, a header from close range, and was good with his hands and feet for the most part.
Perry Ng 7 (star man)
Produced some moments of true quality with the ball at his feet, such an assured presence and growing in the new position.
Aden Flint 5
Let Aleksandar Mitrovic free at the back post for the goal, a big and costly error. Shame because he handled him well apart from that. Got away with a handball in the box.
Mark McGuinness 6
A decent enough showing from the centre back. Had a couple of hairy moments but generally did well defending his box.
Cody Drameh 7
A constant outlet for City down the right-hand side. Had to be more defensively aware against Fulham's threats, though.
Joe Ralls 7
Made a difference coming back into the side, favouring looking forward rather than going back when the ball came his way.
Will Vaulks 7
Got stuck into the midfield battle, giving as good as he got. Did the defensive side of things well but got booked for his troubles.
Tommy Doyle 7
Showed his consistency yet again, always looking to create or latch on to the end of something. Struck one free-kick nicely which rippled the top of the net.
Alfie Doughty 7
Great to see him back out there and he impressed. Travelled well with the ball at his feet and was largely sound defensively, too.
Rubin Colwill 6
Showed some neat touches on his return to the side, but struggled pressing at the front at times.
James Collins 5
Missed an absolute sitter in the first half, hitting a one-on-one straight at Marek Rodak. Ran his socks off, though.
Subs
Isaak Davies (on for Colwill 57) 6 - Injected a bit of pace into the forward line but only had one real chance, which he hit at the keeper.
Joel Bagan (on for Doughty 67) 6 - A nice outing for the left back. Almost netted the equaliser with a header late on.
Ryan Wintle (on for Vaulks 76) 6 - Another who had a positive cameo. Whipped in a lovely cross for Bagan's chance.
