THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United were beaten 2-1 at Bristol City.

JAMIE CUMMING

Made a handful of routine saves, but has to do better for the equaliser, which squirmed through his legs – 6

PETER KIOSO

Tough afternoon with Scott Twine and Haydon Roberts causing problems down his side of the pitch – 6.5

ELLIOTT MOORE

Sinclair Armstrong posed a threat up front for the Robins, and the U’s skipper was booked for a foul on Twine. BOOKED – 6.5

CIARON BROWN

On hand to provide clearances and get United out of trouble on a couple of occasions. BOOKED – 6.5

GREG LEIGH

One teasing ball for Tyler Goodrham should’ve got the Jamaica international an assist in the first half – 7

RUBEN RODRIGUES

Reacted quickest for his goal and involved in most good things for the U’s. Can count himself unfortunate to be taken off. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8

JOSH MCEACHRAN

Taken off just before half-time with a groin problem, but he was key to what was a promising opening 45 minutes  – 7

IDRIS EL MIZOUNI

Booked for an early trip and couldn’t quite assert himself on the game from then on. BOOKED – 6.5

TYLER GOODRHAM

Sidefooted a great opportunity to double the lead over the crossbar from close range – 6.5

MARK HARRIS

Had a huge chance to put the U’s 2-0 up but he stabbed wide from a matter of yards. Penalty call against him was soft – 6

SIRIKI DEMBELE

Such a dangerous runner with the ball. Smacked the crossbar with a thunderous 25-yard strike – 7.5
