They said on Sky that we scored that late we were playing on Boxing day already. Well done Oxford Utd against 12 men.

I remember those league2 and conference years when it felt like we lost every other game to a 93rd minute goal. Its nice to be on the other end today.

If we beat Sarfend on Boxing day we could move up 5 places?

Some draws are absolute crap. This one was absolutely brilliant. Garbutt brought on to deliver the ball to Josh Ruffels. Fanbloodytastic.

But what about their second? Was he at fault?

 

[Yellow River]

It’s a funny ol’ game!

The Scunthorpe game felt like a defeat.

This game felt feels like a victory.

Don’t you just love football!

 

[mooro]

So question - would you have preferred to bring on a decent striker and finish 1-1, or what just happened???

Garbutt at the back freeing up Ruffels for the game saver!!! KR genius!!!

I take back what I'd said! Great result

When's BBC sport going to up date the table

Either, but would prefer a third option of bringing on a decent striker and win!

 

[bert]

Feels like a great win away from home. Keep this momentum going over Christmas and who knows......

 

[OUFCwaffle]

bbc late to update the table, still saying 25 points

 

[Peterdev]

Wish we would get that elusive win. Great result and didn’t give up after the 90th minute goal

 

[unification]

Ruffles doesn’t net too many but he loves popping up and netting important ones against Doncaster Rovers! A point against a side who have been in form is only a good thing.

I said it would be a draw and that’s what we got. Roll on the home game against Southend. A win there and four points off a bogey team would have us in a settled position heading into 2019.

It's coming, and soon...

Personally the latter.
Obviously we will bring a striker in during the January transfer window.
It's never easy getting in strikers (even MAPP struggled) but if we could get a good one in we could be some side.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

This is really worthy of a hippity hoppity whoop whoop!

 

[Foley]

It's excellent seeing Ruffels scoring. Always committed and an unsung hero.

5:30, still says Ox on 25pts

I think the OWS article might have been written before the final whistle. The headline reads:

REPORT Doncaster Rovers 2 Oxford United 2
U's beaten in last. Full time report
