The Oxford Mail player ratings following Oxford United's 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley in League One.
Simon Eastwood – 7
Made a fine save low to his left to deny Joe Pritchard moments before the equaliser. Also made a decent stop during the first half after a scramble in the box.
Djavan Anderson – 6.5
Made an important clearance with Mitch Clark waiting at the far post during the first half. Also created a big chance for Taylor after the break.
Elliott Moore – 6.5
Had a chance to open the scoring from a set-piece but his header took a deflection and bounced wide.
Stuart Findlay – 6.5
Defended resiliently along with Moore to deal with the direct threat posed by the hosts at times, particularly from Doug Tharme’s long throws.
Ciaron Brown – 7
Made the most of his opportunities to get forward and also won his fair share of tackles and headers.
Lewis Bate – 6.5
Unlucky not to open the scoring during the early stages, hitting the bar with a curling effort that had Toby Savin beaten in the Stanley goal.
Marcus McGuane – 6
Kept the ball well and allowed midfield partners Bate and Brannagan to have more freedom to join the attack at times.
Cameron Brannagan – 6.5
Won back possession in the middle of the pitch on several occasions before he was replaced by Josh Murphy 15 minutes from time.
James Henry – 7
Managed to get himself in the right place to score and has now found the net twice in his last three matches.
Matty Taylor – 6
Missed a golden opportunity early in the second half after getting on the end of Anderson’s low cross, failing to keep his strike down.
Marcus Browne – 7
Brilliant play to win the ball back in the Accrington half and set up the opener with an inviting cut-back.

Bodin 66 (for Henry), Long 76 (for Bate), Murphy 76 (for Brannagan)
