Graham Alexander - won the player ratingsCentral defender Michael Duff, who played over three quarters of the game with his head bandaged after a clash with team mate Leon Cort, turned in an excellent performance at the back as well as winning the first penalty.Such was his performance that he won the man of the match, winning 37.4% of the vote. Graham Alexander came second with 24.9% and scorer of the first goal Martin Paterson took third place with 11.2% of the vote.It was somewhat different with the player ratings and the inspirational Alexander came top. He led the fight back brilliantly, he was very much a driving force for the entire team and to top that scored twice with two of the best penalties you are likely to see.He scored a rating of 8.00 out of 10 and then put him ahead of Jack Cork, who had an excellent game on his return to the midfield, who came second with a rating of 7.83. David Nugent, another to turn in an excellent performance capped with his run that earned the second penalty, came third with a rating of 7.71 out of 10.Grezza wins five points towards the Player of the Year, and there are three points for Duff, two for Cork and one each for Nugent and Paterson.Those points make little difference to the table with Duff, in seventh place, the highest to have picked up any points.The Current Table65: Chris Eagles53: Steven Fletcher40: Andre Bikey35: Tyrone Mears34: Brian Jensen26: Clarke Carlisle25: Michael Duff21: Kevin McDonald18: Stephen Jordan17: Jack Cork & David Nugent16: Martin Paterson15: Graham Alexander14: Wade Elliott12: Robbie Blake9: Leon Cort8: David Edgar6: Fernando Guerrero5: Chris McCann4: Danny Fox & Joey Gudjonsson2: Diego Penny & Steven Thompson1: Steven Caldwell
