1. Scott Flinders - 6
Didn’t get a chance to show what he can do during a very quiet day between the Mansfield sticks. Photo: Chris Holloway
2. Deji Oshilaja - 8
An assured display against his former club with some rock-solid defending and composure on the ball. Burton didn't get a sniff out of him. Photo: Chris Holloway
3. Alfie Kilgour - 7
Solid performance to keep things very tight at the back for Stags. Comminding in the air throughout. Unlucky with deflected which led to Burton's goal. Photo: Chris Holloway
4. Caylan Vickers - 6
Played his part in Stags’ dominant second half display after replacing Alfie Kilgour at half-time. Got in some decent crosses at times from the left flank and added some pace and energy to the team, but too often his end product let him down. Photo: Getty Images
