Adver Sport’s Dan Barnes hands out his player ratings from Swindon Town’s 4-0 defeat Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this afternoon.

Lawrence Vigouroux

Was never going to have a quiet afternoon at Bramall Lane. Made a number of stops but will have nightmares about the Mark Duffy effort he let squirm through his clutches and into the net. Booked. – 5

Darnell Furlong

Used his pace well to defend at times but could do little to halt the Blades’ ruthless second-half assault – 5

Raphael Branco

After a solid first period, unravelled along with his team-mates in the second half. Booked. – 4

Lloyd Jones

Just like Branco, looked shell-shocked as the Blades ran riot in the second period – 4

Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill

Was full of energy early on but soon found himself under the cosh – 5

Anton Rodgers

Didn’t keep possession ticking over like he usually does. Rodgers was guilty of giving the ball away on numerous occasions times – 4

Conor Thomas

Found it tough to deal with the movement of United’s midfield and lost his man time and again. Booked. – 4

John Goddard

Neat and tidy at times but did could do little to make Town an attacking threat – 5

Michael Doughty

Usually so influential, the Town midfielder looked well out of sorts in the first period and was replaced at half-time – 5

Luke Norris

Was shifted around into numerous positions and didn’t have much joy in any of them – 4

Jonathan Obika (C)

Provided a focal point but the game largely passed him by – 4

Substitutes

Jermaine Hylton (on for Doughty, ’45)

Will be glad to be back in a Town shirt but his run-out was a quiet one – 4

Nathan Delfouneso (on for Obika, ’62)

Introduced soon after Town went 3-0 down but could do little to spark a fightback – 5

Tom Smith (on for Goddard, ’68)

Was introduced with his team already well-beaten – 5
