PLAYER RATINGS: Swindon Town (1) v (1) Bradford City

SWINDON TOWN were held to a 1-1 draw by Bradford City courtesy of a late Shay McCartan free-kick cancelling out Jerry Yates' first-half penalty. Total Sport Swindon's Rajan Hothi gives his Robins player ratings.

GK: Steven Benda (6.5)

Had a quiet first-half, only having to claim a few loose balls, as Swindon were in control. Couldn't do anything for Bradford's equaliser. 

LB: Rob Hunt (7)

Competed well with Bradford's long-ball game. Put in a solid enough performance. 

CB: Zeki Fryers (6.5)

Was doing a good job at the back alongside Grant, before he was forced off with injury after 37 minutes. 

CB: Anthony Grant (6)

Due to injuries, Grant was once again used as a centre-back, a role which he filled adequately. However, he did almost gift Bradford an equaliser after cheaply giving away the ball, but his error went unpunished by the visitors. Gave away the ball a few times, in what was probably his worst performance for Town.

RB: Paul Caddis (8)

Playing against his former employers, Caddis put in another impressive showing at the back. Made a crucial tackle to deny Vaughan who was running through on goal. Impressive showing from the Scotsman. 

CM: Jordan Lyden (6)

Gave away possession cheaply on a few occasions, but battled well in the midfield. Didn't shy away from a tackle as a good midfield battle took place. However, his eagerness to get stuck in led to a late dismissal. 

CM: Danny Rose (C) (6.5)

Like Lyden, Rose battled well in the middle, and cut an assured figure as captain. Looked to move the ball on quick to start attacks. Decent enough showing. 

RW: Lloyd Isgrove (7)

Since returning from injury, Isgrove has looked back to his best and won Swindon an early penalty with his cross hitting the arm of Connor Wood. Looked dangerous, but came off for Adam May late on.

AM: Diallang Jaiyesimi (6)

After an impressive performance against Plymouth, Jaiyesimi looked a threat in the middle with his pace and dribbling ability causing all sorts of problems for Gary Bowyer's side in the first-half. Like Woolery, was very frustrating in the final third. Will learn to make better decisions in attacking positions as he plays more games. Replaced by Doughty with 15 minutes to go. 

LW: Kaiyne Woolery (6)

Was the only change from the starting XI against Plymouth, replacing Eoin Doyle, and had the first chance of the game with his shot going wide of O'Donnell's post after seven minutes. His pace was a constant threat, but his final ball was frustrating at times. 

ST: Jerry Yates (7)

Occupying the lone striker role in the place of Doyle, Yates won the ball and started the move that won Town an early penalty. The 23-year-old took the penalty and dispatched it emphatically to give Swindon the lead. 

SUBSTITUTIONS

Tom Broadbent (7) 

Replaced Fryers with five minutes left of the first-half. Had a solid performance, winning most of his aerial duels.

Michael Doughty (N/A) 

Came on with 15 minutes left to bring some fresh legs to a tiring Swindon side. Didn't do a lot. 

Adam May (N/A)

Made his cameo late on and didn't impact the game.
