Wigan Athletic player ratings after another away defeat this time at Oxford

JOE WHITWORTH 6

Could count himself unlucky with the first Oxford goal, that went straight back out to Helik.

FINLEY BURNS 5

Did his best to keep out the lively Oxford forward line, on a tough evening.

JEREMIAH CHILOKOA-MULLEN 4

Another member of the Wigan back line that found the contest a challenging one.

MORGAN FOX 5

Found the pace of Dembele difficult in the first half, but showed more after the interval.

CONNOR BARRETT 5

Not one of his better games, taken off just six minutes into the second half

CHARLIE GRAY 5

Didn’t offer too much in forward positions, and was one of the first players sacrificed early in the second interval.

ARCHIE HARRIS 6

Did his best to force something to happen up front, especially after going behind.

FRASER MURRAY 4

A disappointing evening that ended with seeing a straight red for a lunge on Jack Currie.

BRADLEY BURROWS 5

Didn’t manage to recreate his performance against Reading, on an all-round tough evening.

JENSEN WEIR 6

Did well but never quite reached the levels against Reading shown last weekend

SCOTT HOGAN 5

Struggled against a resolute Oxford centre- back pairing, and was taken off during the second half.

CHRISTIAN SAYDEE 7

His goal – and an impressive cameo off the bench – deserved more reward.

REGGIE WALSH 5

Came on to do a job, although was largely anonymous for much of the tie.

JON MELLISH 5

Played his part but ultimately could do little to change the course of the contest.

15. K’MALI MILLER 5

Did not really have enough time to make much of an impact at the Kassam Stadium.

CHRIS SZE 5

Came on late and did not get enough playing minutes to make a significant difference.
