We dominated possession yesterday especially first half, but didn't create the chances we did against Corby. Out of the 2 thought the Corby performance was the better but we still played well yesterday on a tricky pitch.
Oxford were very poor, one of the worst we have played this season, really not sure how they are top half based on the 2 games we have played against them. Take nothing away from the lads though are great team effort from every one, pleased Ross has knuckled down and decided to figt for his place in the team. I've been critical of him but he's had 2 very good games under GD although I thought the new lad Jordan Smith edged him for MOTM.
Good point raised about our second half performances in the last 2 games, under JL we nearly always had a poor second half undoing any good work we put in the first. Also a great celebration from GD for the second goal, that enthusiasm must rub off on the players.
All in all very optimistic that results and performances will continue to improve, the atmosphere is also returning - the doom and gloom around the ground is thankfully lifting. All very encouraging
Edit: picking up on a few other points raised:
1) I would have estimated crowd at 900-1000, so just under 900 is about right. It was clearly down by a few hundred from boxing day.
2) Free comps is something I have been saying for a while needs to be looked at. Personally anything above what is officially required (players, press etc.), I would try to knock on the head if it was up to me. Can't see what the club gain from programme and 50/50 sellers, what they gain from this is almost all swallowed up in losing entry fees. Other clubs these jobs (and many more) are done by volunteers which is one of the reason clubs with 200/300 compete with us.
3) The ref was poor today. At least 3 times one of our players slid in, won the ball cleanly and a free kick was given. Have to say he let a few sliding tackles go the other way. I find generally we get more decisions when we play away from home, I think refs go out of their way to make sure they are not labelled "homers" but go too far the other way. This is something I have noticed for a while.
