Made a couple of straightforward stops, but little he could really do about either goal conceded – 6 One of many who were guilty of giving the ball away far too easily with sloppy passes or decision-making – 5 Okay defensively and even went up front briefly in the second half to provide an aerial presence – 6 Like Helik alongside him, he didn’t necessarily put a foot wrong at the heart of the U’s defence – 6 Forced off in first half stoppage time, and United lacked his drive from full back after the restart – 5.5 Worked hard in the midfield engine room and tried to get the U’s ticking with passes into the channels – 6 Inventive cross created an opportunity for Stan Mills, who scuffed the chance off target – 6 A little bit of a threat very early on in the game, but then lacked the quality going forward – 5 Didn’t manage to get a grip on the game and provide the spark that was desperately required – 4.5 Too many times he was caught in possession when he needed to be quicker in moving the ball on – 4.
5 Another of those who just couldn’t make the ball stick and ceded possession far too easily – 4.5 How to get unlimited access to all your news Something of a surprise to see him replace Leigh directly at left back. Had the ball stolen from him, allowing a chance for Callum Lang in the second half – 5 Played centrally off Ole Romeny, but didn’t manage to have the same impact as his fellow attacking changes – 6 Scuffed a header off target, but then produced a great cross for Matt Phillips, who crashed a header over the crossbar – 6.
5 Added energy and an immediate spark with excellent cross from deep searching out Placheta at the back post. MAN OF THE MATCH – 6.5.
