Ellis Simms bagged a brace during Blackpool's 3-0 win last night
. Chris Maxwell - 8/10
Made an absolutely vital save at 2-0 that was as good as a goal. Claimed high balls which helped relieve pressure.
. Ollie Turton - 8/10
Great timing to net his first goal of the campaign. Defensively superb up against the tricky Brandon Barker.
. Dan Ballard - 8/10
Imperious. Made a number of important blocks and at no point did he look flustered or fatigued.
. James Husband - 7/10
A little fortunate to avoid an early red, but otherwise excellent. Provided an attacking threat when he moved to left-back.
. Luke Garbutt - 7/10
Supported well down the left flank, but was forced off at the start of the second-half with a knock to his back.
. Kevin Stewart - 8/10
Did the dirty work that can often go unnoticed, producing niggly fouls that helped break up play and stopped Oxford’s flow.
