Dael Fry (Middlesbrough): Backed up his superb midweek display against Chelsea with another authoritative performance at the New Den.

Jack Shepherd (Barnsley): Confidence building stuff from the big defender, who made the most of his return to the starting line-up against Bristol Rovers with a very good display.

Midfield

Ilia Gruev (Leeds United): Governed the middle of the park at Cardiff and was tenacious, strong and smart.

Dan Barlaser (Middlesbrough): Another to follow on from his midweek highs. Classy in the second half at Millwall in particular.
