THE Oxford Mail player ratings for Oxford United’s 2-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers in the Carabao Cup.

SIMON EASTWOOD

Stopped the hosts getting out of sight in the first half, nothing he could do about the goals – 7.5

LEON CHAMBERS-PARILLON

Difficult night, but was left isolated by his teammates. Got forward well – 6

LUKE MCNALLY

His first test against Championship opposition and put himself about – 6

ELLIOTT MOORE

Tough game to come back into the side, coped well with anything in the air – 6

STEVE SEDDON

Consistently attacked the gaps down QPR’s right and useful on the counter-attack – 7

MARK SYKES

Worked hard and found pockets of space, end product sometimes off. BOOKED – 7

ALEX GORRIN

Screened the defence effectively until the hosts began to overrun United – 6.5

MARCUS MCGUANE

Clearly not back up to speed yet, hopefully he can rediscover his best form soon – 5

DAN AGYEI

Got into some good positions, but end product let him down. Could have done more defensively – 6

SAM WINNALL

Bright in spells, however he faded in and out of the game – 5.5

NATHAN HOLLAND

Involved but wasteful in the first half, hopefully he is fit for Saturday – 5.5
