You may be correct, Your Lordship. I like Big Ben but, tbh, just sensed he was on his wrong side from some of his play. As Phil wrote, he and the rest of the defence were up against what I thought were some quick, strong and direct players. I was particularly impressed with their No.16. Having said that, Oxford's 'centre forward' (if such a thing still exists) was pretty ineffective as Messrs Hughes and Sykes kept him quiet. Having now seen him at Bristol and Oxford (and in answer to Cashy's question) I think Ross Sykes could develop into a really good player. Hope so as he deserves his chance.
