The Oxford Mail player ratings from the 1-0 defeat at Milton Keynes Dons:

JORDAN ARCHER 

Looked solid. Hard to be critical over the goal, but had little else to do    6.5

CHRIS CADDEN

Subdued until the U’s fell behind. Unable to get the better of Lewington    6

ROB DICKIE 

Generally impressive, but risked a second yellow in the second half. BOOKED     7

JOHN MOUSINHO

Won everything in the air, hardly put a foot wrong. MAN OF THE MATCH     7.5

JOSH RUFFELS 

Like Cadden he was pushed back and didn’t look his normal self    6.5

ALEX GORRIN 

Good to have him back. Restricted the Dons chances, but limited on the ball. BOOKED     7

MARK SYKES 

Another game which passed him by. Looks to be struggling     5

CAMERON BRANNAGAN 

Great to see him back. Asked a lot to expect him to click back into gear straight away    6
