ADVER Sport's Tom Bassam hands out his ratings from Swindon Town's 2-0 defeat at Oxford United.
Lawrence Vigouroux
Outstanding all night and was the reason the scoreline did not get out of hand, made three or four saves just before the break you might not see in a season. 9
Bradley Barry
Tried his best when moved to centre-back but is not a natural, very sad to see him leave on a stretcher after going down with a blow to the head. 5
Raphael Branco
Battled well after losing both his partners, but ultimately the volume of balls into the box he had to deal with told. 6
Jordan Turnbull (sent off)
Stupid is the only word for his petulant kick out at Wright, not only did it leave his team in trouble on the night, but also for the next few games with Town short of defensive cover. 0
Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill
Switched to right-back after the sending off, did little wrong, but was fighting a losing battle. 5
Anton Rodgers
In the key period just after the sending off he tried to organise things, but could not. It was a shame he was looking good before then. 5
Drissa Traore
Continued to plug away and did not stop running, but he was overrun in the middle. 5
James Brophy (booked)
Had looked so promising on the left behind the striker, almost created a goal for Obika which was ruled offside. At full-back was left exposed. 7
Jermaine Hylton
Had looked bright and linked well with Brophy before his substitution for tactical reasons. 6
Nicky Ajose
Another whose game was left stunted by the red card, hardly featured after. 6
Jonathan Obika
Tried his best up front but struggled to get anything going with the Us dominating. 6
Subs
Henrik Ojamaa (on for Hylton, 43)
Withdrawn late in the second half tells its own story. 4
Momar Bangoura (on for Barry, 72)
A nervy start but understandble given the he was brought on at centre-back for his debut. 5
Jeremy Balmy (on for Ojamaa, 80)
Another bright cameo. 7
