THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United moved to the top of Sky Bet League One with a 2-1 win at home to Charlton Athletic.
JAMES BEADLE
Even when the Addicks improved in the second half, it was still a quiet day between the sticks – 7
FIN STEVENS
In for the injured Sam Long to make his first U’s league start and didn’t put a foot wrong – 7
ELLIOTT MOORE
Rock solid at the back with timely interceptions, blocks and tackles – 7.5
STEPHAN NEGRU
His growth game by game is remarkable and he showed a goal threat at the other end from set pieces – 8
CIARON BROWN
Strong defensive display, especially when the visitors found a way back into the game – 7
MARCUS MCGUANE
Sensational in the midfield at the moment and makes things appear so effortless at times. BOOKED – 8
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Kept things ticking over for United but very much being outshined by his midfield partner. BOOKED – 7
“It would take something extremely big for us to even entertain anything.”

Another mature display leading the line and ran his socks off for the team – 7.5
