We have the beating of both full backs so need to keep the ball out wide and whip those crosses in, especially true on our left where Sads has turned their RB inside out.
We need a goal early on in the second half to settle things down, suspect if we get one we will get a few more...
We've played well. Scowen makes such a difference in the middle. Defence look tight and Sadlier is very effective.
Lubala is nowhere near the force we need up front. You realise what Vokes does, playing like this, when he's not there. Lubala can't win a header and managed to put a soft chance wide.
we have been really impressive 1st half, sads is different class ...shame best chances fallen to Taylor , he looks better deeper but needs finishing practise....Bez chance was ridiculous, U9 player would score that....for me Kone much more natural finisher
Lubala’s press is the reason we’ve been getting so many chances. We saw last week what Vokes brings instead, which is no press and no hold up and no goals.
Pedant alert, but the press is the collective effort - if it's one player, that's just closing down. Pressing fails without everyone functioning as a unit (so yes, Vokes isn't conducive to that approach).
Decent game, good performance from us, just needed a goal.
Difficult to understnad on that performance how PNL are where they are, easier to see why we are where we are with the lack of any sort of clinical finishing

Really strong first half

Excellent performance from the team should have been three up at least but their keeper is playing a blinder.
One player could up his game

Missed chances again! Another strong performance though
Decent first half, should definitely be leading.
I’d give him 10 and then bring on kone

I have a very bad sense we are going to have another hollow moral victory like the away game with Bolton. We have seen this movie too many times.

He has been anonymous so far.
Sadlier is some player - hope we’ve already got him signed for next season
Has Kone got no legs? Why is he not on?
Should be time for their red card
Kone, Kone, Kone

Kone them....
Get that rainbow football off of my screen!!
Just realised this thread is in ‘not football’, which is very unfair.
Feels like our moment has passed here. Starting to get very nervous.
Same. Hope these subs make a difference.
Come on Chem! Late winner to become a hero.
Bit early for the match highlights there.
Very solid performance. Well done everyone.
Good game. Lost some momentum when Scowen and Lubala went off, but still the better side against a team doing well in the league.
Bez’s miss the key moment I guess.
Four points from the last three games feels like real progress. Now let’s get to Wembley and kick on in the league.
Felt like we did enough to win that one in the first half but you’ve got to take the point and a good performance.
Not sure Oxford will be going anywhere this season

Blackpool beat Peterborough. They meet again in 3 days in the BSM cup.
