Swindon Town player ratings after 5-1 win against AFC Wimbledon

Sol Brynn: 7

Brynn certainly wasn’t overworked on Saturday, but when he was called upon to keep his team in the game he came up trumps. He would have achieved a 14th clean sheet of the season if the linesman had raised his flag for offside against Aaron Pierre.

Remeao Hutton: 8

A couple of crossing assists were the highlight of a strong afternoon anyway. The right-back seems to have re-discovered some of his best form. Booked. Subbed.

Tom Brewitt: 7

Aside from a wayward pass or two, Brewitt continued his fine form with another strong aerial display. He stood up to the long ball test really well.

Tom Clayton: 8

Clayton was on top form once again alongside his Liverpudlian mate and capped off his excellent afternoon with his first goal for the club – completed by a 1970s one-arm-in-the-air celebration.

Marcel Lavinier: 8

Lavinier won the equalising penalty in terms of a tangible effect on the game. Otherwise, he played two key passes – one being the assist before Darcy’s shot was illegally blocked – and showed how good he can be by bombing on down the left. Booked.

George McEachran: 6

Town’s midfield struggled to impact proceedings overall, and the fact McEachran had the fourth fewest touches of any outfield player to start the game highlights that fact. He battled away well, but was not at the forefront of any key moments. Subbed.

Saidou Khan: 5

Khan completed over 90 per cent of his passes as he kept the game ticking over for Town. That would have earned him a six, had he not embroiled himself in a ridiculous situation AGAIN. With the ball already out of play, Khan took a wild swipe at it with the ball right next to Johnnie Jackson’s leg. The incident – plus the subsequent melee – was totally uncalled for and ultimately caused by the midfielder’s petulance. The kid needs to grow up. Booked. Subbed.

Jake Cain: 5

It just wasn’t Cain’s day, in all honesty. His passing was not convincing, and that was summed up when his searching ball towards two free Swindon players was intercepted in a three-on-one situation that led to Jephcott’s second.

Jacob Wakeling: 7

He was fairly quiet overall, but Wakeling’s influence on the game was efficient. His header was very well executed, and a couple of runs caused chaos. Nabbed the assist when Lavinier was fouled in the area.

Luke Jephcott: 8

The Plymouth Argyle managed only 15 touches in 77 minutes but produced four shots with those – two of which ended up in goals. The only numbers that really matter are the latter ones. Two goals. A good day’s work. Subbed.

Jonny Williams: 7

Williams was more effective when he dropped back or further inside to help out with the midfield battle – shown by the four aerial duels he won, the joint-most for Swindon. He did play a couple of key passes to set up chances too. An impressive part of a varied Town attack on the day. Subbed.

SUBSTITUTES

Tyrese Shade: 6

The winger showed a few nice touches but should have crossed to Wakeling late on for a fifth Town goal.

Dylan Kadji: 5

Kadji only touched the ball 12 times in around half an hour. Mostly a passenger.

Ronan Darcy: 7

Darcy was bright and eager to get forward – proven by what should have been a goal from open play seconds before his well-taken penalty.

Charlie Austin: 6

The striker came on with a gameplan in his ear, and he did it as professionally as you’d expect. Held the ball up, dragged his team up the pitch, kept it moving.

Harrison Minturn: N/A

Came on too late to receive a rating.
