[smudgie]

I think the words......... Clinical + Finishing sum up the game. Though with a patched up defence I think we didnt do THAT bad. 1st 45 minutes was pretty dire, but with a great save from Clarke and the goal line clearance we could and should have scored.

They had three decent chances and scored two, we had five and scored none. Story of the game for me.

Nicholls hardly made a save all night. (Though he did well when called upon)

Liddle looked massively off the pace for me, agreed with the Willis point, why keep him and not play him????

Thought Lindfield did ok in a VERY unfamiliar role. Nice to see young Hopper get a chance, and by no means did he look out of place, well done lad.

As for Grant's miss............. Oh dear. Why try and smash it from there??? That goes in, makes it 1-1 all to play for.

Well done to the Oxford fans who travelled in a decent numbers for a Tuesday night.

Much work to do at the back for Saturday.

On Stanley On.
