Wildsmith: 6.5 Rush of blood for the penalty perhaps? Bar that, could have played in his slippers.

Nyambe: 8.0 Typically unflappable, he's too good for this league.

Sibley: 6.5 Late appearance in lesser favoured slot, played his part.

Nelson: 8.0 Another commanding performance. Makes everything look so easy! 

Cashin: 9.0 Not a lot this kid can't do is there really? Tango maybe? Bet he's s*** at ballroom dancing. MOTM (again) and worth more than £3 million IMO.

Forsyth: 8.0 Was always going to score today, you could just see he wasn't having it at 2-0. Actually unlucky not to finish with a brace. I'll probably cry when Fozzy retires. 

Bradley: 7.0 Solid enough on limited evidence. Confidence remains a worry, but Warne keeping him in and around games may yet pay dividends. I still think he might show himself a far better player than we've seen.

Wilson: 8.0 Always available, always willing, the lad's a nightmare for oppo FBs. They can't even get close enough to kick him.

Ward: 6.5 Got a cross on him and looked assured enough in the time he was given.

Bird: 8.0 Birdy must be loving life - runners everywhere, a solid midfield to attack from and getting a few chances himself too. Another classy outing.

Hourihane: 8.0 Much criticised on here and has been incredibly inconsistent, but seems to be finding fitness and top form. Another strong showing from the skipper.

Barkhuizen: 7.0 Better from Barks, but he's yet to really hit his straps this season. Was good yesterday though and ran hard. 

Thompson: 7.5 Love him, proper little terrier and typical of him that he got on the end of a cross despite being a foot shorter than everyone else in the box.

Méndez-Laing: 7.5 Threatening again without being absolutely at his peak. I'd start him again against Posh then give him a week off.

Collins: 6.5 Tough day for Collo but he did bravely get his nut on the cross setting up Fozzy for our opener.

John-Jules: 7.5 I've read a few posts on here writing the lad off - can't fathom that. Looks like he could prove a class above to me and it'll be interesting to see what happens next with him.

Warne Watch:
Got everything right. The transformation in the side this last month or two has been marked and results like this give credence to the argument that this is not a flash in the pan and that we are winning on merit. It's good to see Clowes' patience rewarded, long may it continue.

Agree about Hourihane last 2 games he has been really good, yesterday the free kick Cashin scored from was spot on, seems a yard quicker as well, think he will score on monday.

1Wildsmith - 5.5 Rush of blood in the 2nd minute. Perhaps too pumped up for this ‘big’ game. Whether it was a pen or not, ahould never have put himself in that position in the first place.

24Nyambe - 7.5 Solid again. Will be a big miss during AFCON. Expect Smith to fill the vacancy.

17Sibley - 7.0 Brought new energy when the midfield was waning. Not sure there’s a place for him long-term.

35Nelson - 8 Felt for him for the pen as I thought he had the situation under control. Mr Dependable again.

6Cashin - 9.0 Complete performance from the young man. Able to show his attacking prowess as Oxford gave him a quiet night defensively.

3Forsyth - 8.5 Unlucky with the header. Fox in the box at the back stick. Always looking to join in to keep us on the front foot

5Bradley - 7  Added a threat in the box against a keeper who didn’t fancy coming for it. Not really tested

2Wilson - 7.5 Doubled-up on most of the night and dogged their defence. His reaction after the final whistle showed he’s loving it here.

23Ward - 6.5 Played it sensibly to help see out the game.

8Bird - 7.5 I like him starting deeper. Unlucky the ball was driven under his feet for his first-half goal attempt.

4Hourihane - 7 Not a great first half, save finally delivering a decent corner for Foz’s goal. Great delivery for Cash’s goal. Think his replacement will be high on Warne’s shopping list.

7Barkhuizen - 6.5 Struggling with consistency. Still think he’ll be important for us at points this season.

16Thompson - 7.5 A very welcome return. Bags of energy and so petite he went unnoticed by their defence for his goal 😆.

11Méndez-Laing - 7 Better once playing wider. Think he’ll start there v Pish (sorry Posh).

9Collins - 7 Pressed their defence and keeper all night and his flick on presented Foz with his goal.

19John-Jules - 7.5 Vertically challenged often! Industrious in and out the box. 
TOUCH form Kane’s zinger to turn and get his shot off.

Watched on RTV.
