Marosi - 7 Benning - 6 Dunkley - 6 Flanagan - 6 Feeney - 6 Hinchy - 6 Winchester - 6 Perry - 6 O'Brien - 6 Bloxham - 6 Udoh - 6
Sobowale - 7 Idowu - 6 Price - 6
Don't think anyone had a bad game today.

Why are posters always suspicious when a player is reported sick? Under Hursty I'd expect sick to mean sick. Udoh was sick a while ago, came back strong, perhaps sick means sick? Obviously aimed at me so I will tell you why........I'm a cynical b*****d who doesn't trust spoilt and mollycoddled footballers. That enough for you Stafford? Not just aimed at you, "One still suspended and one “sick” was a bit dubious too?
"Spoilt and mollycoddled" for sure, but Hurst had said in the week a number of players were sick or injured. I trust a man manager like Hurst to not let them take the mick.

Town showed more fighting spirit today ,somthing that has been lacking in some games and they need to be like that for every game.

Sobowale should get a start, even if he goes off after 60 minutes. He has improved and could give us an edge.

The worry is that when they play Saturday they don't usually turn up Tuesday. Swap Friday for Saturday, Monday for Tuesday and a 7.45 kick off for 3pm and see what happens this time. On April 1st we need to make fools of Bristol Rovers.

Great stuff from Marosi between the sticks today, but then, we know how decent he is. Can't see him being here next season.
Our defence in the first half was out of sorts, particularly down our left-hand side. Oxford probed there time after time, but fortunately nothing came of it. Then, just as we seemed to be finding our composure in the second half, they scored!
My eyes may have deceived me but both O'Brien and Perry appeared to be absolutely gassed with less than half an hour played. Seemed to be trying to 'save themselves' energy-wise throughout the whole game. No surprise to see O'Brien subbed off. Perhaps everyone had the thought of two games in four days in mind?
Great goal from Price at the exact moment a rainbow was arcing over the Meadow.
A 1-1 draw a fair outcome for this match in its own right. However, does leave us needing something on Monday.

What a cracking game - would not have got that before Christmas. Shame the other results went against us.

One hell of a game. I knew Oxford are a very good side. Anyway proints on this. The defence was immense end of. How the hell we keep Marosi is beyond me. My real positives are these. Jack Price is a great find. In the few minutes he had he showed his talent, passing, reading the game. And of course his extremely impressive goal. On further point, Sabowali . His pace and trickery worried Oxford. They were not ready for him. We need to keep him and Price. So all in all great point and keep going salop.

I agree, someone posted earlier that is was an awful game, it was far from that, we had 11 corners against a side sat in a play off spot, we missed a golden chance to go 1 up first half, their best first half chance was met with a decent right legged save from marosi, Oxford were the better side second half but even at 1-1. a great ball was played through to Udoh who an awful first touch when it looked like he was clear in on goal, we hung on at the end, now before xmas we did actually have a similar game v derby and won that, so maybe harsh there and dont forget we did come back from 2-0 v reading to win, totally different style now to then and we do look in a better shape and are getting better results overall

Very entertaining match. Multiple chances and half chances at both ends. I thought that Taylor Perry put in a shift and a half.

Quite a few of the remaining games involve the bottom 6 playing one another.
That said, I wish 2 of our remaining away games weren't at Portsmouth and Bolton!

I have been Feeney's biggest critic but today he was brilliant. Against a very good winger aswell. My MOTM.
Draw was fair but we had some great chances to win the game.
I am currently 95% sure we will be playing in league 1 next season.

Enjoyable game and think despite a bit of a nervy ending that we deserved to come away with the point. Enjoyed our intent, no parking of the bus, we traded punches with them throughout.

I wasnt even going to mention the ref today, I thought he was equally fair for a change, but as hes been brought into the conversation I will mention him he was a little strange today, for about 75 minutes I thought he'd forgot his whistle, he let everything go, same for both sides, no free kicks whatsoever, and then the winchester tackle kind of sent him into a whistle happy frenzy, he suddenly gave everything, I thought the marosi yellow was harsh, and then 6 minutes of added time, he actually only added an extra 11 seconds on, kind of justifies keepers wasting time as it him more than 11 seconds to hold up the play whilst he gave him a yellow card.

I also noticed this. Some clear fouls not given but it was fair and actually benefited the game but then it went tits up and he started giving them everything to such an extent the one decision that went our way was met with ironic cheers. Certainly had worse refs but it wasn't the type of game that demanded much from him.

Good game, good point.
Oxford weren’t all that - too many misplaced passes and unable to build any sustained pressure, much like us! I’ll be amazed if they go up.
Referee - oh, jeez, what’s going on? Can the standard really be getting even worse?
Not bothered about the other results. It’s up to us to be good enough to get whatever we need. I still think another 3-4 should do it.
