Not bothered we won't be playing at Newport. But I don't like losing any game we should have won, do you?

I don’t like losing but not bothered losing tonight, yes it is a shame how we went out when we were all over them, a lot of positives from tonight’s game especially Forde who should start Saturday with Hall on to e bench. But not bothered about going out tonight in a competition that would mean playing twice a week so early on in the season putting some if not all of our players at risk of early injury.
No I don’t like losing but not to bothered about losing tonight.

I want silverware not money.....YES i am bothered that we threw that away

I want silverware but losing tonight was disappointing but not bothered in the slightest and the only silverware we might win if we’re honest is the s**t cup trophy and who knows the final might puss you off if the players take the knee before the game starts.

Normally agree. But this year its actively costing us money and players and prep time for upcoming league matches. We better off out early.

Not worth humouring him , loves a bit of a mindless moan/wind up

Sean Clare looks terrific going forward - quicker than Chrissie Cadds when at full tilt I would say.

He showed some glimpses of that vs lincol n as well. Maybe we should play him as a winger instead of fb.

Long balls into the box we are rubbish with. But, overall, not a disappointing performance..

Ladies and Gentlemen There is a New Joey Beauchamp in the Building (Sorry Scotchers i promised not to post if Dickie went to QPR but Cooper will fill Joey's boots and has a big future )

Liam Kelly is just physically not athletic enough. Players drift pass him and can not get back.. It is obvious he is a luxury we can not afford on the pitch at the moment. Team that up with Mcguane we have a slow center midfield mix. These 2 can not and should not play together. Forde looked good tonight and 100% deserves a place in the team on Saturday, his game play was excellent. Sam long is just the 100%giving player oxford fans love, maybe not the most talented but when he pulls that shirt on...

EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS :

 

[Essexyellows]

Their keeper had a blinder and, with a dash of luck, we could have been 3 or 4 up against a top Championship team.
Don`t think it`s time to be writing the season off yet.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

I think Kip does have a bit of a point.

We look fragile at the back - horribly fragile at times - especially from set plays
and a clean sheet looks difficult for us to achieve currently. That's the truth of it.

All the goals in the three play-off games were cheap giveaways and it has continued into this season.
A mixture of poor goalkeeping , poor organisation and a lack of communication.

The goals we concede are pretty soft - it's not as if we are being cut to ribbons by great attacking play by our opponents - and it must stop.

oh well, we’ll have to play our annual match against Man city in the fa cup instead
