Adver Sport assess the performances of the Swindon Town players in today’s 0-0 draw away at Mansfield Town in League Two.
LAWRENCE VIGOUROUX – 8
Quiet early on but showed be had his wits about him with a couple of wonderful saves before the break. Made sure Town held on for a point at the end too.
KYLE KNOYLE – 6.5
A steady performance on the right but not overly involved in the action. Playing against a five-man midfield didn’t allow him to get forward as much as normal.
SID NELSON – 8.5
Seems to grow in stature with each passing game. Threw himself in the way of any danger and took a couple of heavy blows for the cause.
LUKE WOOLFENDEN – 8
Forming a really strong partnership in the heart of defence and made a couple of crucial interventions to stifle the Stags.
MATT TAYLOR (C) – 6.5
Was exposed out wide on a couple of occasions but got in some good recovery blocks and tackles and almost scored with a fine free-kick.
DION CONROY – 7
Seems to relish having the licence to play more and his eye for a pass is evident. Began to fade as the match wore on.
JAK MCCOURT – 7
Was in the right place to cut up play a couple of times and featured prominently in Town’s pressing tactic, although early booking meant he was on a tightrope.
MICHAEL DOUGHTY – 6.5
A little off colour and bore the brunt of a few strong challenges from the home players. Didn’t get Town ticking as we have come to expect. Booked.
KESHI ANDERSON – 7.5
Was involved in the majority of Town’s attacking play and always seemed to pop up in the box. Might feel he should have had a goal to his name.
ELIJAH ADEBAYO – 7
Led the high press and harried the home defenders into mistakes, which created chances for others. Withdrawn after running himself into the ground for the cause.
KAIYNE WOOLERY – 6.5
Another who worked tirelessly up front but didn’t have many chances to worry defenders with his pace.
Substitutes:
MARC RICHARDS – 6.5
(For Adebayo 65) Pleasing to see him back and did his best to occupy defenders.
Subs not used: Luke McCormick, Jermaine McGlashan, James Dunne, Ellis Iandolo, Martin Smith, Scott Twine.
