The Oxford Mail player ratings from Oxford United's goalless draw at Newcastle United in the Emirates FA Cup.

SIMON EASTWOOD

May be surprised he didn’t have more to do. Dealt with everything which did come his way calmly    7.5

SAM LONG

Continues to stake his claim for the spot full-time. Gave everything and contributed going forward    7.5

ROB DICKIE

Rarely troubled. Did well in the air and kept things simple    8

REPORT: Newcastle Utd 0, Oxford Utd 0

ELLIOTT MOORE

Played his part in the clean sheet. Took up good positions when the ball came in from wide areas    8

JOSH RUFFELS

Yedlin had some joy early on, but overall another solid performance    7

ALEX GORRIN

Outstanding, on and off the ball. Took one for the team when Newcastle broke late on. BOOKED. MAN OF THE MATCH    8.5

MARK SYKES

Energetic, aggressive and knuckled down defensively. BOOKED    7

HIGHLIGHTS: The best action from the FA Cup tie

SHANDON BAPTISTE

Threatened in flashes, without quite showing what he can do. BOOKED    6.5

MARCUS BROWNE

Worried Newcastle at times. Did superbly to create a big chance, then couldn’t finish it off    7

JAMIE MACKIE

Pitched in defensively and hassled defenders, without threatening     6.5

TARIQE FOSU

Moments of promise, but tended to want too many touches in the final third    6.5
