Oxford 2 City 1

Ted Maul said in another post:

 

"Great game, great atmosphere, and pretty good performance overall.

 

Some really nice passing at times, but just lacked a bit of cutting edge in the last third. The defence looked a bit suspect at times, and Oxford had a couple of decent wingers - although both goals against us came straight down the middle.

 

Overall though, one of the most enjoyable games I've been to for ages. Can't describe how good it felt when we equalised - shame it only lasted for a minute!"

 

Totally agree with all of the above - reminded me of last year at Weymouth when we lost but I was still glad 'that I was there'

 

On the downside I do wonder why Lord Lippy substituted Elphick. Things certainly went down hill defensively from there because (for whatever reason) the new centre half couldn't trap a sack of cement. The new fullback looked okay though.

 

Looking forward to more of this this season.

Because he felt his hamstring tighten i'm told.

 

Was a great battling performance and I was proud to support the lads tonight.
