It was Pato's first start in the league since the home win against Preston and his two goals have won him both the man of the match vote and the player ratings convincingly.

He polled no less than 65.2% of the man of the match vote with only second place Michael Duff, with 10.5% reaching double figures. It was Wade Elliott who claimed third place with a 4.4% share of the vote.

Again he was a big winner in the player ratings with two different players behind him in the next point winning places. His rating was 7.83 out of 10 with Dean Marney and Tyrone Mears sharing second place, each with a rating of 7.00 out of 10.

Paterson wins the maximum six points. There are two points for each of Michael Duff, Dean Marney and Tyrone Mears with Wade Elliott winning one point.

The points have had little effect on the top of the table with Elliott, in fifth place, the highest placed player to win any points.

Voting is currently underway for the man of the match from Tuesday's game against Doncaster. That vote concludes at the end of Friday and the Watford man of the match vote will start during Saturday evening.
