Does anyone else think there was a bit of an overreaction after last night game?
My thoughts
First half was pretty even, we didn't play particularly well but I didn't feel like we would ever concede. Our goal was well taken and it felt good to go in at HT 1-0 up. I thought Mattsson did ok when he came on but playing as a 6 isn't really his position. Forson was excellent in that 10 role when Emi went off. The first 25 minutes of the 2nd half was the best we've played this season and we *should* have scored 1 more possibly 2
I haven't seen the chances back on the TV but could Emi and Sarge have done better with their chances? my hunch is that Sarge could've flicked the ball towards one of the corners rather than volley straight at the keeper.
I thought 2nd half Schwartau looked more confident and did some decent runs down the left, he needs to make his final pass a bit better and obviously needs a goal from somewhere. The keeper made a good save from his chance.
I did say to my son at the game at 70 minutes that the game had 1-1 written all over it. Oxford were always going to create 1 chance and it was whether they could finish or not.
Its all very disappointing but there are lots of positives to take from the game, Players looked better, we looked a bit more solid and we made more chances than other home games. Can we do better? of course we can, can these players improve? of course they can. The only player I'd really say was miles off it last night was Jurásek, IMO we've signed a dud there, a proper dud who we need to send out on loan to Eastern Europe in January.
I like PC's comments after the game, I don't think a win is far off.
