PLAYER RATINGS: Swindon Town 1-1 Fleetwood Town

Swindon could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Fleetwood in their last home match of 2016 and Benjamin Wills evaluated the 13 that got some minutes in red.

Lawrence Vigouroux: Despite not getting a clean sheet, after conceding a goal through no fault of his own, goalkeeper Vigouroux did not have anything to do in terms of difficult shot stopping - 6

Darnell Furlong: The right wing-back got a superb assist for Swindon's goal and was regularly seen bombing up the pitch and having shots at goal, although he had no luck with the latter - 7

Nathan Thompson: In what was his first match since his latest hamstring issue, captain Thompson was assured at the back in his favoured sweeper role as Town reverted back to the 3-5-2 - 6

Lloyd Jones: Solid outing for the Liverpool loanee back in a three-man defence. Was often 30 yards from his own goal looking to start attacks but rarely had good options to distibute the ball - 6

Raphael Branco: As good as his other centre backs who all did well to limit Fleetwood to only a handful of opportunities - 6

Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill (replaced by Tom Smith '90): Left-back 'BOO' was constantly in space down Swindon's left flank but could not fashion much from his dribbles or crosses - 5

Yaser Kasim: Not at the level that he can be but neither was he as disinterested that has led to him getting a bad reputation from some - 6

Michael Doughty: Not a good day at the office for the usual standout Michael Doughty. The QPR loanee may be the subject of this weekend's vitriol but that could be more due to his usual high displays rather than a particularly poor one on Saturday. The missed penalty does not help his case however - 5

Anton Rodgers (replaced by Sean Murray '45): It was his pass to set Jermaine Hylton on his way that led to the goal but other than that Rodgers did not do a great deal, hence his replacing - 5

Jermaine Hylton: After a loan spell at Conference strugglers Guiseley Hylton had a point to prove. Hylton chased down every ball anywhere near him and constatly looked a threat, which saw him contribute to the goal and get fouled for the penalty. Only a goal was missing from the energetic display - rightly awarded man-of-the-match by sponsors - 8

Luke Norris: Now Swindon's joint top scorer in all competitions after netting his first league goal for the club, also saw a volley go narrowly over - 7

Substitutes

Sean Murray (on for Rodgers '45): A real bright spark as soon as he was introduced, having a 30-yard shot go just wide and always looked like something might happen when on the ball. It made you wonder what director of football Tim Sherwood doesn't seem to see in the ex-Watford man - 7

Tom Smith (on for Ormonde-Ottewill '90): Came on deep into injury time and therefore not fair to judge the youth academy graduate - N/A
