Good performance. Few things I noted:
McNally I thought did really well considering he has come from the Irish League, League One must be quite a big step up. We were blessed to have centre-backs as good as Atkinson and Dickie (who scored again today, he is destined for the Premier League), maybe we will have to be patient with him but it looks like the potential is there.
I like Ryan Williams attitude, he has that ultra-competitive edge to him we have sometimes lacked in previous seasons, but have come up against many different teams who have it in abundance and struggled. It's a different kind of edge to Matty Taylor style Housery. He is also a top footballer at this level.
Winnall has no excuse for not finishing the Sykes cross. It must have been a cross because I think Sykes would be the first to admit he can't shoot. I can only recall seeing him score one goal for us and it was the total fluke at Wembley. I also thought Winnall ought to have done better with his header opportunity. A quality player in his day but I do wonder if he is past it, Dan Agyei is criminally underused.
Seddon looked good, again.
Jack Stevens produced a top, top save in the first half. If his distribution improves he is destined for a higher level.
The stadium is a sh!thole. I've always thought of it like that in a way, an out-of-town, identikit, miserable sh!ithole. But failing to provide the basics for fans even though my expecations of that stadium are extremely low is bad. How I would love a stadium closer to Oxford which really felt like home, not that cursed hellhole with the legacy of Kashscam. Now the Ultras have wound down there really is no redeeming qualities to the place, not even a splash of colour.
Reasons to be positive with what we are seeing on the pitch so far. A win against Crewe and perhaps it's all aboard the positivity bus.
