THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United sailed into the third round of the Emirates FA Cup with a 4-1 win against Exeter City.

ED MCGINTY

One good stop to deny Sam Nombe, however a couple of nervy moments including losing sight of the ball from a cross while the score was still 1-0. Recovered though to pounce on the ball before it went over the line – 7

DJAVAN ANDERSON

Mazy runs from right back are adding a new dimension to United when going forward, and further endearing himself to the crowd – 8

ELLIOTT MOORE

A welcome return at the back after an ankle knock ruled him out last weekend – 7.5

STUART FINDLAY

Composed and assured throughout, never looked troubled by the visitors – 7.5

CIARON BROWN

Mr Consistent in this United side, with some solid clearances and interceptions – 7.5

JAMES HENRY

Denied well from a Jamal Blackman double save at the end of the first half – 7.5

MARCUS MCGUANE

Charged forward with ease, brushing players aside at will to get United up the pitch. Has the physical presence and potential to be a real tour de force in the midfield. BOOKED. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8

CAMERON BRANNAGAN

Involved throughout and took his goal superbly well, waiting for the right moment to fire in – 8

JODI JONES

Given a rare opportunity to impress and showed glimpses of his ability with trickery and crosses into the box – 7

MATTY TAYLOR

Lovely finish to open the scoring in what was a solid display up front. BOOKED – 7.5

MARCUS BROWNE

A constant threat when running at defenders, as he won a number of free kicks for United in dangerous areas – 7.5
