THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United drew 2-2 at home to Wycombe Wanderers in Sky Bet League One.
JAMES BEADLE
Made a super stop early on and can consider himself unlucky for the penalty that was awarded against him – 7
SAM LONG
Sloppy ball allowed Wycombe to then get in behind for their second penalty. BOOKED – 6.5
ELLIOTT MOORE
Misplaced header in the lead-up to the first penalty and was then outpaced for the second. BOOKED – 6.5
CIARON BROWN
A slightly more solid presence compared to those alongside him in the United defence – 7
FIN STEVENS
Offered stability in the backline although he was not as attacking as seen on previous occasions – 7
MARCUS MCGUANE
The penalty for handball was harsh, especially after a very similar incident in the first half. Great assist though for Ruben Rodrigues. BOOKED – 7.5
JOSH MCEACHRAN
Kept things ticking over in the centre of the park and was more incisive with his passing – 7
GREG LEIGH
Dangerous down the left with powerful runs and crosses into the penalty box – 7.5
Due to his red card, Football League rules prevented Liam Manning being available for media duties post-game, so #oufc assistant head coach Chris Hogg took his place. Read what he had to say after a bonkers afternoon herehttps://t.co/dPMYDBMXZG

RUBEN RODRIGUES
Took his goal well and was at the heart of all things good, especially in the first half. MAN OF THE MATCH – 7.5
BILLY BODIN
Wasteful in possession during the early stages but improved as the game wore on – 6.5
MARK HARRIS
Wasted a couple of good chances but he was far more involved than in recent games – 6.5
SUBSTITUTES

Returned in style to net a stoppage time penalty which never looked in doubt after he placed the ball down – 7

Was relatively bright and whistled a late effort from range over the crossbar – 6.5
Josh Murphy (for Stevens, 87)
Stan Mills (for Rodrigues, 87)
