The Oxford Mail player ratings from Oxford United's 1-1 draw at Sunderland:
SIMON EASTWOOD
Made one superb save from McNulty, made good decisions when dealing with crosses 8
CHRIS CADDEN
Promising debut at both ends of the pitch. Showed a willingness to get forward and linked well with James Henry 7.5
ROB DICKIE
Arguably his best display for United. Impeccable under pressure, unlucky his goal did not stand MAN OF THE MATCH 8.5
JOHN MOUSINHO
Vindicated the decision to keep him in the side, supported Dickie well BOOKED 7.5

JOSH RUFFELS
Felt hard done by over the penalty, but there's always a risk diving in 7
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Covered a huge amount of ground and clearly relished the occasion BOOKED 7.5
ALEX GORRIN
A little ragged at times, but broke up play and kept things simple BOOKED 7
JAMES HENRY
Showed his quality to pick out clever passes in the final third BOOKED 7.5
BEN WOODBURN
Influential in the first half, crowned by the assist. Faded after the break, probably due to a lack of game time in pre-season 7
