Oxford away on Saturday for P’Boro is tough. They also have a lot of games over a short period. I’d be surprised if they don’t drop points. If they don’t, and beat Bolton, fair play to them. They’ll deserve it.
We must win the next 3. Pressures on.
2nd half was awful today. No control, poor decision making and composure. We were lucky not to concede in the end. I have no issues with the subs or starting 11. Individuals were off it. CBT and NML were awful. Washington was his usual self, Collins no service and looked unfit. We’ve let others back in it again. 

Second half was garbage. Washington, CBT and NML all dreadful tonight.

Umbro have been good. They have at least produced relatively bespoke kits and not the usual rubbish that we got from adidas. They’ve also added the retro kits of years gone by, so overall have been decent.
I definitely don’t want adidas, they were the worst kits we had of recent years. Puma, Hummel, Castore or Bukta for me.

Why high press??
Just because Man City and Liverpool do it, does it mean everyone does? Our shape and discipline were outstanding. We were comfortable. They created nothing. There was no space, everything was in front. Just because they had 70 odd percent possession means nothing. We were not holding on. We were sitting deep, but they were getting frustrated. A wonder strike was the difference. A high press is what they would want, opening gaps to exploit.

Very good point.
They didn’t trouble us 2nd half so frustrating not to hold out, but I’ll take it.
A very controlled away performance. Our shape and discipline out of possession is outstanding.
Also a shout out to the referee. He was excellent.

A mention to Sibley, a shaky first 10/15 but after that he did very well against one of the best wingers in the league. 

Excellent away performance at top of the league team, they didn't create anything 2nd half, unlucky to be on the end of a worldie, but yes a point I would have settled for beforehand.
Need to back it up at stupid Wycombe 

IF we lose tomorrow, we could quite conceivably go into our next game v Wycombe being level on points with Bolton. A point would be great. 

We seem to be playing so much quicker than previously, it’s really good to watch comparitvely. The attacking wing backs genuinely help going forwards, we have a lot more creative players on the pitch.
Adams been a great signing, Gayle too. Ward is like a new signing and barkhuizen been excellent last three games. 
Great time of the season to be hitting form! Roll on Saturday!

If given the choice between being a team of sh*thouses that get promoted or some nice boys that get to stay in L1 for another season I'd take the promoted sh*thouses every single time.

Absolutely. On one team came to play football, they came to boot us and waste time. They got exactly what they deserved, nothing. We played them off the park at times.

I do wonder about some on here. We were miles better than them and I lost count of how many cheaty little fouls they put in tonight that weren't carded. We were also the only side that looked like scoring all night. Does anyone really think they deserved a point tonight? I really don't get the mardiness from some quarters.
