Adver Sport assess the performances of Swindon Town’s players in today’s 3-1 win away at Cambridge United in League Two.
STUART MOORE – 6
Looked a little shaky under crosses and kicking was off to start with but produce some good stops too.
BEN PURKISS – 6
Restored to his preferred right-back role and was solid, until a bit of an error allowed Ikpeazu to strike to give Cambridge hope.
CHRIS ROBERTSON – 7
Improvement on last weekend and it was a straightforward afternoon as the hosts didn’t really offer too many threats.
ROLLIN MENAYESE – 7
His first time playing in a back two for Town and looked nicely composed. Was strong and got in several important challenges.
CHRIS HUSSEY – 7.5
Really energetic on the left, showing few signs of six months out of action, with one of his cracking crosses leading to the opening goal. Withdrawn late on.
PAUL MULLIN – 7
Stuck in a wider position than he is used to but was lively on the right and worried the home defence with some nice darts forward. Subbed in the dying minutes.
JAMES DUNNE – 7
Battled hard in the middle of the park and stifled Cambridge’s play, not allowing them to get any real flow going.
TIMI ELSNIK – 6
One of his quieter afternoons and didn’t see a lot of the ball. Didn’t appear to have much space to work with in the middle.
MATT TAYLOR – 7
Higher up on the left that he has been used to and showed his class in patches, including a fine free-kick to set up the crucial second goal.
LUKE NORRIS – 7
A cracking header gave Town the lead but should have been selfish to have a second himself. Limped off through injury in the second half.
MARC RICHARDS (C) – 8
Two more goals to his name in what is an electric start to his Town career and led the line impressively all afternoon.
Substitutes: KAIYNE WOOLERY – 7
(For Norris, 58) Added pace in attack and won the penalty that killed the game.
RYAN MCGIVERN – 6.5
(For Hussey, 77) Helped stiffen up the defence in the closing minutes.
KELLAN GORDON – 5.5
(For Mullin, 86) Little time to make a real impact.
Subs not used: Will Henry, Kyle Knoyle, Scott Twine, Keshi Anderson.
