Given the conditions, yes I'd say so.

Drury is a much less capable and comfortable right-back than he is left-back, and Lappin is a less capable and comfortable left-back than Drury, but even given those factors Doherty mopped up just about everything that came into the box.

I'm not a Doherty fan, but that was a strong performance.

It wasn't the sort of game where Korey Smith could be expected to do too much, in my opinion, but that didn't stop him trying, and he ran his heart out.

Holt did exactly what Holt does, and was very good.

And Cody's absolute daylight robbery from their lad on the left for the third goal was a thing of real beauty. Can't really say that he did much wrong really, in the short time he was on the pitch, Cody - very good.
