The Oxford Mail player ratings from Oxford United's win over Blackpool:
SIMON EASTWOOD
Exposed for the goal, but did all he could to put Madine off at the end 7
SAM LONG
Made the most of the space in the first half. His cross set up the first goal 7.5
ROB DICKIE
Some classy touches before the break, then dug in 7.5
Match report: Oxford Utd 2, Blackpool 1
JOHN MOUSINHO
Recovered from the mistake for the opener. Stood up in the second half 6.5
JOSH RUFFELS
Part of the mix-up for Blackpool’s goal. Will be hugely relieved his late backpass was not costly 5.5
JAMES HENRY
Understandably rusty on his return, but still provided an assist 6.5
ALEX GORRIN
Showed both sides to his game. One vital header in the second half. BOOKED 7
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Like Henry was feeling his way back, but a very welcome return. BOOKED 6.5
MARK SYKES
Knew little about the goal, but caused problems and dug deep again 7.5
