Clarke Carlisle
Clarke Carlisle - into third place
It was the same top three in both, with the first two places swapping over. In the Man of the Match vote it was O'Connor who came out on top with 24.9% of the vote. Carlisle took second place with 19.8% and in third place with 15.7% of the vote was Kyle Lafferty.

All three players also did well in the player ratings. This time it was Carlisle who came out on top with a rating of 8.19 out of 10. O'Connor took second place with a rating of 7.81 and just behind him in third place with a rating of 7.77 was Lafferty.

Injury looked to have ruled Carlisle out of the running for the Player of the Year but he's come back and shown some great form. He's still some way behind leader Wade Elliott but the five points he has won here means he is now just one point behind second place Robbie Blake.

O'Connor's five points have moved him further up the table and he's now into sixth place with 31 points. Those points have come despite him having started less than half of the games this season.

Meanwhile Lafferty is in the top ten players after moving ahead of Chris McCann after a return to form that brought him the Burnley goal early in the game.
