Agreed - you can't even make the bench in a competition that we've taken so seriously this season that we played Murphy at left back and broke our youngest ever player record twice......and he wasn't on the bench at FGR......then you're toast.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's already gone back to Leeds.

I’ve heard he’s being recalled by Leeds in January as he’s only managed four minutes for Oxford. That would hopefully enable a striker to come in

 

[Oxfordpete]

Smith was unmarked

 

[Sarge]

Decent move...no one on the end of it

 

[Oxfordpete]

Harris is rubbish

 

[Swaby39]

Good start. Need to settle down defensively but we look bright.

 

[Sarge]

Cmon Oxfotd

 

[WarwickOx]

Is the ifollow commentary in medium or long wave

 

[Followtheox]

how has he not anticipated that cross should be one nil

 

[greatunclekip]

how has he not anticipated that cross should be one nil

Because he isn't a striker

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

McEachran doesn’t look fully on it yet. Mills needs to have the confidence to take his man on. Murphy looks lively.

Harris has to gamble on that cross!

 

[Bitter]

Harris should be getting on the end of that.

 

[Sarge]

Murph should go down the line past their fullback hes got the beating on him

You are right he is so slow on the ball

 

[Swaby39]

Des has even ditched the tracksuit/PE teacher vibes. Come on lads.

 

[Concretebob]

Aren't we getting tennis balls in a minute?

 

[Sarge]

Decent block by thorniley

 

[Swaby39]

Jesus lads come on… that’s pants!!! Basics!!!

Has @RyanioBirdio had an influence?

 

[Twiggy85]

fair play Thornily - dealt with that well.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Was that Harris on the right wing nearly gifting them a goal??
