I think you underestimate Oxford, guys...they have some very talented, nippy players, especially out wide, and they made life difficult for us in the first half but we looked very solid.
It transformed us when Bod came on, though, and we were much more adventurous, peppering their goals with shots that uncannily (and frustratingly) found bodies and limbs blocking the way. The ball never bounced kindly for us.
Overall, the performance confirmed for me that we are in our rightful position in the table and can
sustain our push for the automatics. I wouldn't be too downearted about a draw.
I posted my comment above in haste. After seeing how good Oxford were from the highlights and how Baxter did some super saves, I now feel that a draw is a fair result.
Oxford will be up there with us. There's no doubt about that!
