The Oxford Mail player ratings from Oxford United's 2-1 defeat at Blackpool:
SIMON EASTWOOD
Cannot be criticised over the goals, but hard to impress with so little to do 6.5
CHRIS CADDEN
Just kept running at the Blackpool defence. Provided the assist for Josh Ruffels and laid on other chances 8
ROB DICKIE
Caught out of position for the penalty, although it was a harsh decision. Excellent on the ball 7.5

JOHN MOUSINHO
Appeared to lose out to Edwards for the first goal. Otherwise solid. BOOKED 7
JOSH RUFFELS
Virtually a second left winger. Scored one and might have had another 7.5
ALEX GORRIN
U’s dominance almost made his role redundant, but a third caution in as many games is a concern. BOOKED 6.5
JAMES HENRY
Is forging a strong link with Cadden, but didn’t exploit a couple of good openings and was hugely fortunate not to concede a penalty 7
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
United’s beating heart at the moment. Kept the tempo high. MAN OF THE MATCH 8

JAMIE HANSON
Got better as the game went on. So unlucky his header hit the crossbar 7.5
BEN WOODBURN
Drifted out of the game at times, but still hit the post and forced a save 6.5
JAMIE MACKIE
Grafted hard, but simply should have scored at least once 6
