JAMIE CUMMING

Made one excellent save with his feet to thwart Abdulkadir Omur when the winger was played through on goal – 7.5

BEN NELSON

Worryingly forced off just after the hour mark. The last thing U’s need is to lose yet another player to injury – 7

ELLIOTT MOORE

Looked to bring the ball into midfield on a handful of occasions in an attempt to find a different way up the pitch. BOOKED – 7.5

CIARON BROWN

Conceded possession a bit too easily at times, and was left exposed until things tightened up in the second half. BOOKED – 7

HIDDE TER AVEST

Saw a header saved late in the first half, but then got on the scoresheet with a stabbed effort in the second period. Encouraging display at both ends of the pitch. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8

WILL VAULKS

Looked a bit more composed with an extra player next to him in the midfield battle – 7

JOSH MCEACHRAN

Got on the ball more than Vaulks in midfield, and was the one more likely to try and make something happen – 7

GREG LEIGH

Struggled defensively in the first half with Mohamed Belloumi causing all sorts of problems. Had a much better second half though and produced the cross for ter Avest to score from – 7.5

TYLER GOODRHAM

His switch of play from right to left got the move going for the goal in what was a solid evening – 7.5

IDRIS EL MIZOUNI

A new role and formation for him to adjust to, but he worked hard and stuck to his task – 6.5

DANE SCARLETT

Starved of service up front and had to scrap his way for loose balls to feed on – 6.5

SUBSTITUTES

Sam Long (for Nelson, 62)

Back in action for the first time since the draw at Portsmouth, and helped see out the game professionally – 6.5

One heavy touch stopped him from charging through against an exposed Tigers backline – 6.5
