Exciting game. Plenty of effort on show and we setup well. I thought we stopped Oxford playing quite effectively, and had just enough threat on the turnover balls to stay in the game.
Annoying we don't have genuine pace upfront to be a proper counter attacking side. It looks like Blooms could organise a team to be mean at the back and a win games like that if we had real athleticism upfront.
Ultimately, we lack real pace or power and I can't see us troubling top 6 without a really good attacking signing in January.
Their number 10 looked great at times and I reckon Oxford will feel they've let two points slip.
Phillips our standout player. He was everywhere and made countless crucial interventions. Taylor also very good.

Still nervous
It’s just glorious.
A pen? Oh god no.
The score on the stream still says 1-1
It is 2-1 isn’t it? 1-1 on my screen
They really have got rattled
Just got to love Killian, he is so fired up
Phillips has been a cut above for us.
Ref is getting worse, completely lost it
I think that’s why Vokes wasn’t on earlier.
Hilarious
Another soft pen from the ref, though probably the most likely of the 3
This is one of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen
Even softer penalty
Two of the worst penalty decisions I’ve ever seen.
Leahy sticks out a leg, but the striker is going down way before that
Never a pen, but can hardly complain
No chance of a winner for us now with Vokes up top.
Conceding late goals is becoming a habit for us. Not so long ago we were the only ones scoring late goals.
The referee blows.
A fair result in the end.
So close to the perfect stolen win.
Utterly gutting.
So close but we can't beat any of the better teams yet. Portsmouth, Bolton and today all tantalisingly close to better results
2 points from the 3 tough games. Could have been more, but well
Utterly gutting a bit strong @Malone. Were you expecting a win today? I think most of us would have settled for a draw.
When you're winning 5mins into injury time I think it overrides thoughts of what you'd be happy with pre game.
Would have taken a draw pre game is the sort of brave facing stuff you do later.
We're quite close though to being a really strong team. Just need that little bit of extra strength in seeing games out.
Always frustrating not to win when 2-1 up - especially against Oxford (or MK).
But some dodgy penalties all round.
Would have taken the draw at the start of the afternoon and happily take it now.
Rightly downvoted
Well that one certainly came home to roost.
Sitting where you like when it's a sell out doesn't really work though does it.

Don't be so sensible
