Killip: Cambridge offered threats from set-pieces and in the air, but actually didn’t have too much to do. 6
De Gevigney: Did not look comfortable at the back in first half and was culpable for the hosts’ opener. 5

Hide AdRoberts: Has his hands full with Nlundulu and Njoku, who were game and a real threat in the first half. 6


Earl: Second half was a bit quieter than the first, defensively. 6
