I think the ref was helped in that both teams refrained from the petty histrionics, play acting, or (worst of all) badgering the ref to get opponents carded that are seen in too many other games.

Thanks Exile.
I didn’t actually check the match stats after the final whistle but it looked ‘live’ as if he had been booked! I do agree with you about the conduct of the players from both sides not complicating issues for the referee. Very refreshing to see.

No one was booked on either side. Confirmed by stats at end of Ifollow.

Yesterday especially second half was by far the best game of the season for quality and excitement certainly helped along by a referee not stopping play constantly. Joe Pritchard is becoming the star of the show showed some excellent touches and vision again, this system benefits players like Hughes and Conneelly who seem to have lots of space and time to slow the pace and keep the possession. New lad Russell looks a player and was impressed with Nottingham when he came on. Bishop worked his socks off just needs Cassidy to learn to run onto the flick ons tough test next Saturday at Ipswich.

for me the last 3 games shows we can look towards the top rather than the bottom. hope that oxford performance was just one of those blips all teams have.

i think it takes longer for young uns to bed in than seasoned pros, i have no fear at all about this season i honestly think we can make top half,this season am well impressed with these young uns.

Just seen Coley on the television - F.L. show - and he made a special mention to you Cashy well, you and the rest of the over 60's, who have had to wait a while for a home victory - just a pity we did not experience it in the flesh...

I know Phil was good but to get into the team of the week without playing or even still being registered at the club is outstanding!!
