THE CROWD
Attendance 4,596
MATCH RATING
Entertainment 8
NEAL: Calm and collected, but was never truly tested 7
DUFFY: Battled hard and performed well to deal with the lively Sean Rigg 6
McCOMBE: Strong display from the ever-consistent defender who has taken the captain's armband from the injured Doug Loft 7
McDONALD: Safety-first approach and a 'steady Eddie' at the back 7
TAYLOR: Decent in defence and keen to get forward to support the attack 7
MYRIE-WILLIAMS: Frightened the life out of Oxford left-back Luke O'Brien and looked a threat throughout as Vale stayed in control 8
MORSY: Busy effort to keep the Valiants on the front foot and capped it with a lovely goal 8
BURGE: Always looking to maintain the momentum until forced off with a knee injury in the second half 6
VINCENT: Such an effective outlet to stretch the play, with dangerous crosses and a goal to boot 8
DODDS: In the thick of the action and can claim an assist for Pope's goal during another hard-working effort 7
POPE: The goal machine maintained his incredible record with a tap-in, while his flicks and hold-up play were spot on again 8
SUBSTITUTES
