Adver Sport's Harry Abbott hands out his player ratings following Swindon Town's 2-1 win away at Carlisle United. 

LAWRENCE VIGOUROUX – 7

Could do nothing about Carlisle’s goal but made some other decent stops to keep his side in front.

BEN PURKISS – 6

Unsurprisingly, Town opted to work much of their play down the opposite flank but was a cool head when needed, if a little short of pace.

OLLY LANCASHIRE – 8

A solid performance at the back and ushered out any danger when it arose. Influential performance from the new skipper.

DION CONROY – 7

Worked nicely off Lancashire and held up well against Carlisle’s front line. A strong partnership in the making.

CHRIS HUSSEY – 7

A real weapon down the left and looked to get forward where possible. Delivered some dangerous set-pieces too.

JAMES BROPHY – 7

Lively on the right and sent some tempting balls into the Carlisle box. May feel unfortunate to be replaced on the hour.

AMINE LINGANZI – 6

Broke up play nicely at times in the middle of the park but his distribution to team-mates could have been improved.

JAMES DUNNE – 6

A terrier like performance in the middle of the park. Seemed quite but was doing a lot of the unnoticed dirty work.

JOHN GODDARD – 7

Was a willing runner and showed some nice touches in attacking, with a rasping strike setting up Town’s second goal.

PAUL MULLIN – 9

Seemed to be at the heart of all of the visitors’ attacks and showed a great poacher’s instinct to get his side’s second goal.

LUKE NORRIS – 8

An improved presence up top. Put his body on the line for the goal and will be devastated it also led to the end of his afternoon.

Substitutes:

HARRY SMITH – 5

His size meant he was a useful target for the visitors but looked a little off the pace.

ELLIS IANDOLO – 5

Tried to get involved but the situation of the game stifled Town’s attacking intent and was withdrawn late on. Booked.

CONOR THOMAS – 5

Brought in to see out the final few minutes but no time to make a real impression.

Subs not used: Will Henry, Chris Robertson, Tom Smith, Scott Twine.
