Carlisle United were thrashed 4-0 at AFC Wimbledon – so how did we rate the players at the Cherry Red Records Stadium?
HARRY LEWIS – 4
Not, perhaps, the main culprit for the defeat, but nor was there any sense of command when the ball came into United’s box until it was far too late.
BEN BARCLAY – 3
United’s attempts to work the ball out in the first half were often excruciating and Barclay was among the many who was caught out.
SAM LAVELLE – 3
Tilley’s crosses set United problems they failed to answer all game, and there was never any grip on Stevens and co from Lavelle and his colleagues.
JON MELLISH – 4
You can never question Mellish’s commitment, which was there in a futile second half effort from Carlisle. But Wimbledon were better in every single department.
ARCHIE DAVIES – 3
Wimbledon threatened on the left, threatened on the right and down the middle. Davies couldn’t get up the pitch, was outdone defensively and hooked at half-time.
CAMERON HARPER – 3
A mirror of Davies on the other side for the most part, made a few better inroads in the second half but these were token moments, and own-goal capped a poor day.
HARRISON NEAL – 3
Wimbledon’s midfielders taught United an object lesson in pressing and speed of movement. Neal, like everyone else in that department, was inferior to his opponent.
JOSH VELA – 3
Started in a more advanced role to the left, but made very little impression and, once Wimbledon quickly established control, he was chasing shadows.
HARRISON BIGGINS – 3
When Wimbledon exposed Carlisle, Biggins was anonymous and was unable to offer anything to threaten the home side in response.
DOMINIC SADI – 3
No opportunity to showcase his attacking skills, for United were so inferior to the Dons for too long.
CHARLIE WYKE – 3
Not much came his way, and what did tended to come straight back. Wimbledon dominated the odd exchange with the captain and he was subbed at half-time.
Subs: Luke Armstrong – 4 – Unable to get on end of anything.
Jack Robinson – 4 – Right-sided role did not turn tide.
Callum Guy – 5 – A few glimpses of his much-missed reliability.
Taylor Charters – 5 – First league outing of season in lost cause.
Star man – Nobody deserves this accolade on such an appalling day.
