Oxford United player ratings in poor display against Huddersfield

Bojan Radulovic’s opening goal and Joe Taylor’s brace secured victory for the Terriers against Aaron Ramsey’s Yellows.

Gatlin O’Donkor had equalised for his second goal in as many games but it was a first league defeat for Ramsey’s side.

Here is how we rated the U’s in a disappointing performance…

Simon Eastwood – 7

Forced into a big early stop and kept the U’s in it in the first half with four saves.

Conceded three but did not do too much wrong himself.

Brodie Spencer – 5

Struggled against Joe Taylor on his return to his former club and did not provide anything going forward.

Sam Long – 5

A brief early scare and not a big presence at crosses, but put in some good challenges in the box.

Caught out for the goals too easily.

Ciaron Brown – 5

Survived a reckless tackle on Bojan Radulovic and not as switched on at the back positionally at times.

Jack Currie – 5

Picked up a booking and struggled to link enough with Siriki Dembele.

Jamie McDonnell – 5.5

Some good challenges in there but did not offer anything on the ball.

Cameron Brannagan – 4.5

Wayward passing at times – a theme across the whole team – and a bit too hit-and-hope.

Not his usual self and had a particularly dodgy header backwards luckily result in the Terriers firing wide.

Mo Missanga – 6.5

Tried to be positive with a couple of impressive runs forward, creating a good chance for Dembele in the second half.

Tyler Goodrham – 5

Not too involved in the first half.

Some nice ideas with his passing and an early shot blocked but not enough moments on the ball and not enough endeavour to influence things.

Siriki Dembele – 6

A couple of good take-ons and brought down in the box with nothing given.

Mark Harris – 5

Not involved in the game enough. Had one shot saved but struggled to make an impact.

Substitutes:

Gatlin O’Donkor – 7

Another game, another goal.

The young striker in the right place again and battled well.

Kai Andrews – 6

Felt a little more calm on the ball than McDonnell but not enough time and a tricky game state to show what he is really about.

Leo Snowden – 6.5

Got in some good areas and provided an assist.

Peter Kioso – 6

United conceded the two winners shortly after he was introduced – not his fault – but came on in a position where Spencer had struggled.
