The Oxford Mail player ratings from Oxford United's 2-1 win over Rotherham United:

SIMON EASTWOOD

Won't be happy with the goal, but made amends with a huge save worth two points in stoppage time    7

CHRIS CADDEN

Big block on the line and his pace proved crucial defensively a couple of times    8

ELLIOTT MOORE

Superb considering his relative lack of game time. Matched Michael Smith in the air    8

JOHN MOUSINHO

Continued his rich vein of form. Kept the U's calm under pressure    8

MATCH REPORT: Rotherham Utd 1, Oxford Utd 2

JOSH RUFFELS

Brilliant tackle to pave the way for Taylor's winner. Strong all-round display    8

ALEX GORRIN

Had to live on his wits at times, but did well to stay out of the referee's notebook    7.5

JAMES HENRY 

Lacked his usual killer touch when a couple of openings came his way    7

CAMERON BRANNAGAN

Not the easiest game for him to thrive in, but still came up with two assists    7.5

MARK SYKES 

The one worry for United. Never seemed to get up to the speed of the game    6
