I actually thought Burton were better organised than Reading and had a plan.Great win so pleased for Des ,but Burton are going down well done alot of good performances and we are closer to the transfer window.
I'm not getting this... Murphy went past him plenty of times in both halves.I agree, it would have been good to get him. The only full back Murphy hasn’t been able to skin recently.
It's difficult to know how good today was as Burton were hands down the absolute worst team I've seen this season. However, I'm also not sure we have created as many good chances in a single game this season as we did today. The green shoots were definitely there during the second half on Tuesday so hopefully this a sign of things to come.
Definitely the balance is better with Brown as a CB and I thought on the whole Bennett was very composed and tidy. Always looking to push forward. If that is how he plays every week, I'm surprised he was available on a free.
And they didn't even show Cam's rocket against the bat.
He won corners and got some scuffed crosses in but didn’t make the space he has been winning lately - Caprice kept really close to him.I'm not getting this... Murphy went past him plenty of times in both halves.
There was a bloke on Radox earlier saying exactly the same. He didn't half rabbit on though!I thought we started to slow ok Reuben’s goal settled the nerves a bit but at 1-0 the game is still open for one shot whether it’s a bullet or a worldy or a soft deflection but they all go in then it’s game on.
But second half we upped our game and only through bodies on the line and good goal keeping kept Burton in the game then 2 worldy goals one each from Rodriguez and McGuane gave us 3 points a clean sheet and Buckingham’s first league win.
Well done OUfC and welcome to th what hopefully will be continued win’s.
Agree, Burton's last ditch defending was definitely there but we sliced through them very easily. Even when we were more hesitant in the first half, Murphy and Mills had very scoreable chances.I thought Burton defended pretty well in the first half and wholeheartedly throughout, though they were very weak going forward.
Props to Des: he's got Thorniley out and our best CB in, brought Bennett in (and to help Fin Whossname's coming on), he made the pitch wide, played our most active midfield.

I was surprised we didn't see Mr Barry Gibb doing the half time Christmas karaoke on the pitch!I thought we started to slow ok Reuben’s goal settled the nerves a bit but at 1-0 the game is still open for one shot whether it’s a bullet or a worldy or a soft deflection but they all go in then it’s game on.

3 goals, 3 points and a clean sheet. No injuries (visible ones anyhow) and not many moments thinking it could all go pear shaped, ok, barely any at all.
What's not to like? Well done Des, bring on the Saturday!
They don't agree with you on the Brewer's forum...He won corners and got some scuffed crosses in but didn’t make the space he has been winning lately - Caprice kept really close to him.

"Caprice puts the cherry on the top of his abysmal performance."
"I think Caprice is one of those defenders you want as far up the pitch as possible, as he can't defend. Ideally so far up he's in the stand watching the game."
"He might as well be here on Make-a-Wish, I can't believe he's a professional footballer. He can't defend, he's mediocre going forward, scared of a tackle, and too lazy to track back when he inevitably gives the ball away."
