Just back

I said just before the match that we would win.  Reasoning that all teams must win sometime and teams in good current have to lose.

Winning and being entertained with such attacking football was a very refreshing change.  It looked like the team changes were very good calls and a catalyst for the outstanding team performance.

(A day for a change in fortunes.  Just before leaving Dock’s to drive to the game, we laughed at Wolves quoted at 80-1 to beat Spurs when losing in the 88Th minute.  As we parked up Wolves scored the winner).

If we win on Tuesday our old foe Rodrigues (ex Notts County) scored 2 goals for Oxford and was the MOM.

I’m in total agreement with the caveat that Pyke got closer to him so all his hard work didn’t get wasted.

Agree 100% Thought more physicality next to him really helped.

Really pleasing performance in a lot of ways and particularly the positive way we reacted to giving away such a dreadful goal in the first minute and then nearly repeating the error some ten minutes later. The real positive was our commitment to drive forwards at every opportunity and the leaders in this, particularly first half, were Khan and Glennon who just kept bombing forward and getting in shots and decent crosses one of which should have seen Gav equalise. Rodgers looked completely out of sorts for the first half hour but gradually the confidence seemed to return little by little and he was much better second half.

As I say really positive going forwards but a few times it was a little too easy to get through our midfield and get at the defence but thankfully we managed to ride these storms and come through with a win. Don’t see how so many rated Pyke so highly but it just demonstrates how we all see the game differently.

Not a day to consider the negatives though as if we play on the front foot as we did today at least the games are going to be much more enjoyable and hopefully we will witness many more victories.

Well played town very good and great to hear a very bubbly Ben Davies in the after match interview.

After they scored I thought here we go again, but boy was I wrong.  The commitment from everyone of the players was totally unexpected when compared to previous games (seems we've got our steel back), also noticed that the running off the ball was a definite step up, got to give the interim management credit today.

Proper uplift in standards in every regard from the players. Just what was called for. Gotta maintain those standards now.

We've already got them .

I bloody hope not.

According to their manager, it was our "cup final". Morecambe FFS.

Same said by one of their players in a post match interview, who intimated we didn't play much football.

Would we have seen a game like this of Hurst was in charge ?

no we would have lost 5  3 if hurst was here

I don’t deny that the midfield three who started deserve the accolades but to write off a sub who came on when they were pressing is pretty pathetic. You might be right but support the whole squad rather than look for a boo boy.

I think Hunt & Eissa both looked like lambs when they came on, to be fair it sometimes happens when you’re a sub.
