is Buckley captain?

Yes. 

[Lancaster Rover]

Hell of a strike from Bucko, has looked like the Buckley who broke through not the one we’ve seen recently 

[wilsdenrover]

Are you rationing your words @Exiled_Rover 😁

Cozier Duberry isn’t much different to Dolan really. I think Dolan offers more overall

Been an organised half as we expect. Feel there’s a moment of magic that will unlock this defence coming soon

We need to start getting balls into the box for Gueye. The one frustrating part of Becks game is his insistence on fizzing the ball across the box low. Sometimes we need to play to our strengths. Other than that, good half of football and 1 goal will win this game so need to make sure it’s ours 

ACD is much, much better on the ball, but they're both very slow for wingers and of course both are tiny.

Boro and Watford winning, could do with three points today to keep up a bit, West brom losing though which is good.

[Trinidad Rover]

Buckley really growing into this. Good stuff.

Pape so much better as an impact sub.

4 or 5 posts from people that you would hardly call the usual suspects but each to their own 

I’m glad you now accept he was singled out, which makes me wonder why you made an issue of it in the first place. But like you say, each to their own. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Harris for Oxford has fouled 3 players now - should be on a yellow for persistent fouling.

In an ideal world you'd have Gueye coming off the bench like Birmingham used to do with Jutkiewicz.

That said he's done well today - given their CBs something to think about all game.

Pears keeping us in it 

[waynerovers]

Well played Pears. Completely different keeper this year.

[moerpho]

Another save from Pears

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Pears saving our Arse!

[Silas]

Another non booking.

Ref's really got it in for us here. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Fair play, a couple of good saves by Pears in the last few minutes.

Get ACD off. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Started like we are asleep again ffs..

Spot on re Cozier Duberry and Dolan. CD having a poor game, too slow and sloppy. I'd take him off.

[moerpho]

Pears keeping us in this. Need to make some changes.

[Tugayisgod]

Time for a change ACD off for Hedges or JRC

[Lancaster Rover]

ACD looking very much a PL2 player at the moment. Making mistakes you get away with in academy football and can’t in men’s football. Got very lucky with the last one, trying to make a pass that was never there 

[Ferrit]

Pitiful start to both half’s, lucky to be still level 

[ItsRoverZ]

Oxford should be ahead we need a couple of changes here, dolans energy and press is needed.

[OllieNO]

ACD is obviously very talented, but is also showing his inexperience losing the ball

[simongarnerisgod]

this ref has some strange ideas about what constitutes a yellow card
