I thought our performance was better than expected after all the injuries and Toto's ban. We played some good football at times. Murphy looked quite composed at centre back and Linfield was my man of the match at right back. With a bit of luck we could have been two up before the gift goal for Oxford just before half time. For me, Liddle had played really well up to that point. I felt we should have been one up at half time which would have reflected the play in the first half. Some our passing from midfield was still going astray and it was another mistake that led to Oxford's second goal. In all honesty the ref should have blown for a free kick to us just before this. Not blaming the ref for the result but he did not have a good game. He seemed to be waiting for the Assistant Ref on the main stand side to make decisions on fouls. Bobby Grant and Jamie Devitt had good games and we do seem to be developing some threats down the wings. Wish we could just get a lucky break and for something to go right for us. However, we have to stop giving the ball away, through loose passes in midfield which simply put us on the back foot in our own half. Keep the faith. On Stanley On.
