Mildenhall 8 Another top class display. The instinctive stop with his hand was incredible.
Leadbitter 7.5 Great all round display, if he could improve his final ball he will be one hell of a player.
Clarke J 7.5. One bad error which he attoned for but overall top class, surely the find of the season.
McChrystal 7 as last week. slow start but solid after that, subject of some dubious treatment including one late cynical challenge.
Brown 7 Mr Dependable yet again!
Bodin 8.5. What a difference a pitch makes, obviously loves playing on a bowling green as opposed to a beach.Unlucky to not get a hat trick.
Lines 7.5 Another excellent Linesey effort.
Clarke O. 7. As last week excellent. Hope his injury sustained in the first half is not to bad.
Montano 8.5. My MOM for a superb allround display, his defending, attacking [Cambridge could not handle him and a wide man who can head a ball. Just proves if you give someone with his skill a good run in the team he will reward you. So unlucky with the volley just over, fantastic strike.
Taylor 7 great goal but possibly should have had a couple more.
Gaffney 7.5. Runs and runs, showed some skilful touches, creates loads of space for Taylor.

Lawrence 6
Easter 6.5
Parkes 6.5

Ref 7 Very generous to us on occasions, but very lenient with some cynical challenges by Cambridge.
Thought the challenge on Bodin deserved a red, nasty stud cuts just above his knee.

Mildenhall 8 Fantastic since his return. Games change in an instant and his reaction save from the corner 2nd half was crucial.

Leadbitter 7.5 Energetic and did well defensively which is considered his weak point. Good future ahead if he continues improving.

J. Clarke 7.5 No Lockyer, but solid cb cover when we needed it.

McChrystal 7 None of the defence deserve any less than 7 for a clean sheet. However, thought he was out muscled a lot of the time and distribution is awful, which invites pressure back on to us.

Brown 7.5 Loyal, reliable and consistent. No more needs to be said.

Bodin 8.5 Big fan. Creates things from nothing and has that touch of class.

O. Clarke 7 Solid, committed performance, but didn't think we dominated in the middle enough.

Lines 7 Not his greatest day, but good to have him back to form recently and did track back well. As above, don't feel we dominated enough.

Montano 8 Impressed with his touch and all round game today, nearly scored a wonder goal first half. An additional attacking threat.

Taylor 7.5 Quiet for most of the game by his standards but defence handled both forwards pretty well. Showed his class with the goal.

Gaffney 8 Love the guy. Never stops battling, got such quick feet for a bigger lad and his cross field pass to Taylor 2nd half was quality.

Subs: Lawrence 6 Still not sold on him. Gives the ball away too much. However, think it was his assist for Taylor's goal. Could be wrong.
Parkes 6 Did ok, not on long.
Easter 7 Battled and held ball up well. Good footballer but not an out and out striker.

Cambridge 2 Horrible side overall. Had chances but main aim was to bully us off the pitch. And as for Derry......

Ref 7

Mildenhall 8.5 If the teams had exchanged keepers before the start Cambridge may have got a point.
Leadbitter 7.5 Shows how ruthless DC is when he drops players like Leads. Covers back quicker than any L2 defender I've seen, and his crosses are better now.
McChrystal 7 Steady enough
J Clarke 7 Ditto . Pairing good enough for most L2 strikers
Brown Usual steady game. With Montano ripping up Cambridge for ass paper in front of him, he missed two good opportunites to score when he chose to cross when unchallenged in the penalty area. If only he had been outside he would have buried them.
Bodin 8.5 Real game changer
Lines 7 With Bodin and Montano playing, Chris Lines need and oportunities to make his runs were limited and he had to defend more, which fair play to him he did well.
O Clarle 7 I expected to miss Sinclair, but Ollie has stepped up and is more of a goal threat.
Montano 8 probably better than Bodin, but two goals as got to be worth an extra mark
Taylor 7.5 Remember those strikers like Stewart, Penrice, Randall, you expected them to score every game.

Gaffney 7 Up against a bruiser, but that didn't bother him.

Easter 6.5 Cambridge could not ignore him

Parkes 6.5 Straight into the action.

Lawrence 6.5 Cambridge were already beaten, knew just what to do.

DC 8.5 Picks his own team, doesn't listen to us.

Crowd 8 Sounded like 10k today

Cambridge 7 Tried to take the game to Rovers, bit like AFC Wimbledon, and suffered the same for it.
