JAMIE CUMMING
Unable to really do much about the goals and made a wonderful stop to paw over a Zan Vipotnik effort – 7
PETER KIOSO
Got forward well enough in the second half to provide an extra number in the attacking third – 6
ELLIOTT MOORE
Cleared a lot of crosses, but allowed Vipotnik to run off the back of him for the opening goal of the game – 6.5
BEN NELSON
Looked to bring the ball out from the back a couple of times, but with little end result unfortunately – 6
CIARON BROWN
A solid defensive display and he laid the ball on for Dane Scarlett to pull a late goal back for United – 6.5

RUBEN RODRIGUES
Headed against the top of the crossbar just before half-time from a Josh McEachran corner – 6
JOSH MCEACHRAN
Unable to take control of the midfield battle, with Joe Allen doing a super job to neutralise him – 6
LOUIE SIBLEY
First league start for United came to an end at half-time when he was taken off. Shown a yellow card for rash challenge on Matt Grimes. BOOKED – 5
OWEN DALE
Worked hard, but never really got in the game and couldn’t provide a threat from the right-hand side – 5
MARK HARRIS
Sent the ball off target while on the stretch from an Idris El Mizouni cross early in the second half. Caught offside too often – 5.5
TYLER GOODRHAM
The most creative player from a United perspective, but ultimately with no end product in the final third – 6
