Just analysing their goals - and of course credit must be given to the quality of the deliveries into the box - but Hourihane’s superb corner looks to be flicked across goal by Fin Stevens for the first, Ciaron Brown yet again leaves his man free in the box from Cashin‘s brilliant ball to the back stick where Thompson heads past Beadle and Cashin easily steers in the third getting in front of Fin Stevens. Another top class delivery from Hourihane.

Apart from those great balls in there were countless overloads down by both flanks all night and we simply could not stop them. The corner count in their favour was off the scale. We were in effect lambs to the slaughter after that great start but the pressure was mounting from then on to the finale. It was like the Alamo for 85 minutes.

Derby arguably the best side seen at League One level in OX4 in the seven years we’ve been at the level. And I include Wigan 2017-18 in that.

We were battered.

Just an update for the stats lads…………………makes for good reading. 👍🐏

 

1Wildsmith: 6 No blame for either goal. Only  had 2 further moments of involvement - another free-kick which he stopped & scooped and a tame shot late on. 
24Nyambe: 7 Airtight, water-tight & fireproof security system. 
17Sibley: 6 Late legs fresh formation.
35Nelson: 8 Repelled at will. 
6Cashin: 9.5 MotM Winning goal and assisted the equaliser. Rock at the back. 
3Forsyth: 8 Goal & hit the bar. Took the game to Oxford & led by example. 
5Bradley: 6.5 Late entry for sentry duty. Got the job done.
2Wilson: 7.5 Constant outlet & source of attack. 
23Ward: 6.5 Late angle-poised delivery.
8Bird: 8.0 CPU. Tackle, Win the ball, Pass & repeat. Unlucky not to score.
4Hourihane: 7.5 Perpetual deliveries into the corridor of uncertainty. Slowly turned the screw on a depleted & gassed out opposition. 
7Barkhuizen: 7 Lots of endeavour & swift raiding. 
16Thompson: 7.5 Stooped to conquer. 
11Méndez-Laing: 8 Consecutive series of jabs & outballs to the Oxford rear.
9Collins: 6 Didn’t happen.
19John-Jules: Guile & swift raiding; almost a goal. Hope he stays as there’s more to come.
Nothing gives me greater football pleasure than to see my team out-football a rival whose sole tactic is to feign free kicks & penalties alongside a referee in complicit s***-housery. Fully deserved Derby, you made me feel proud in how you stood up for the beautiful game and suffocated a poor opponent into exhaustion.
