5. Lirak Hasani 6
Failed to clear after making the tackle on Whyte, which led to the first goal. Almost gifted Oxford a second when giving the ball away on half way. Did well when switching to right back. Photo: AHPIX Ltd
6. Ethan Galbraith 6
Far from his best, particularly in a first half where he was far too deep. Improved after the break. Photo: AHPIX Ltd
7. Matt Smith 6
Forced far too deep by the Oxford midfield to be truly effective in the first half. The game opened up for him in the second half where he could use his energy and help Rovers onto the front foot. Photo: AHPIX Ltd
8. Branden Horton 7
Was caught out on multiple occasions in the first half as Oxford sprung into space behind him. Much better in the second half in a back four and got forward well. He took his goal really well. Photo: AHPIX Ltd
