ADVER Sport's Tom Bassam hands out his rating's from Town's incredible 5-5 draw with Sheffield United.
Wes Foderingham
Wrong-footed for the first and could do little for the other two. Was a calm head at the back when others looked panicked and made some outstanding stops before the Done goal. 7
Put in his own net and the cross came for the second came from his side, not protected well by Byrne in fairness. 6
Jack Stephens
You have to ask questions about his marking for the third, but as the tension ramped up in the second half he stayed calm. 7
Jordan Turnbull
Definite question marks over his defending especially in the air. 5
Nathan Byrne (booked)
Fantastic going forward, unquestionably the most dangerous player of the pitch, creating the first three Town goals. However, he will need to work harder going the other way in the final. 8
Massimo Luongo
Did a bit of everything and was definitely close to his best as he aimed to complete his pledge of guiding Town up before his departure. 7
Yaser Kasim (booked)
Again the calm head in the maelstrom going on around him, his range of passing did created space for others and offered respite to his beleagured defence. 8*
Ben Gladwin (booked)
Two early goals should have nailed on for man of the match award, then the madness happened. Got lost a bit in the second half. 8
Sam Ricketts
Cannot be happy with some of the goals conceded with his marking being called into question. A wing-back Ricketts is not. 5
Michael Smith
Took his first with aplomb and his penalty conversion showed great nerve, battled well all night and has justified his selection. 8
Jermaine Hylton
Won the penalty and looked dangerous when given the chance to run, less influential than in the first leg. 7
Subs
Jonathan Obika (on for, Thompson, 57, booked)
Took his goal in great style and it ultimately proved decisive, big game player. 8
Anton Rodgers (on for Hylton, 62, booked)
Could not steady the steady the ship, but it was a tough task.
Raphael Branco (on for Gladwin 90+)
Barely got a kick.
