SAM WALKER 7
U’s keeper played his part in clean sheet and made good save to deny Wildig just before half-time.
TOM EASTMAN 7
Showed good attacking intent and defended well before being replaced late on.
RYAN INNISS 8
U’s man of the match. A towering and dominant presence at both ends of the pitch.
FRANKIE KENT 7
A solid display aside from one blip, a sloppy backpass that resulted in Walker denying Wildig.
RYAN JACKSON 6
Provided some dangerous deliveries but was not utilised as much as he might have been.
BRANDON COMLEY 7
Neat and tidy in possession and tenacious in the tackle before being substituted.
TOM LAPSLIE 6
Returned to the U’s side as captain to produce another committed display.
KANE VINCENT-YOUNG 6
A hard-working performance at left wing-back and showed attacking endeavour.
SAMMIE SZMODICS 6
Completed his first 90 minutes for nearly two months but chances were limited.
MIKAEL MANDRON 7
Was unlucky not to score with a header early on and worked tirelessly.
BRANDON HANLAN 6
Went close with a first-half deflected effort but was well marshalled by the visitors.
SUBSTITUTES
CRAIG SLATER (for Comley, 65) 6
Got into some good attacking areas after coming off the bench and always wanted the ball.
DREY WRIGHT (for Eastman, 78) 7
Was desperately unlucky not to score when his long-range strike struck the bar.
KYEL REID (for Hanlan, 79) 7
Gave Morecambe right-back McGowan a tough time with his direct running and skill.
SUBSTITUTES (NOT USED): Kinsella, Loft, Odelusi, Gilmartin.
