After settling in (and since the goal). We’ve had a good 10min. Some nice passing and good movement.

Harris looks bright. Getting amongst it and causing centre backs some problems with ball in behind.

everyone loves a ball (or two) in behind

Very weird match experience watching the Swansea pictures (which are using streaming technology from ca. 2010) and listening to Radio Oxford, which is about thirty second behind.

But looking pretty solid so far. Harris is a lot bigger than I was expecting. Reading about him, he sounded like a shifty winger - but he looks like a proper centre forward.

We are definitely going to be playing out from the back this season, so time to look forward to some heart-in-mouth moments!

 

[Eaststanding]

Hard to tell who’s the Championship side here, dictating play and creating chances. Good start.

 

[Osei Yaw]

So far, so good. Although we're going to need to stay switched on whilst Yates is up front for them - they just paid £4m for him, so he must be decent.

 

[Tomox]

Seem to be pressing well as a team.

*paid £4m and gave Joseph away for free

I’m going to enjoy watching McEachran this year. He’s controlling this game.

 

[Jolteon]

The Swansea commentator would have you think Swansea have dominated this game and we've barely been in their half! I do miss the quality of Jerome and Nathan when I'm listening to other club commentators.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Pretty good half for us. We are going to need more options up front of course!

 

[Manorlounger]

Very impressed so far. Much more confidence in the team. This is enjoyable and shows promise.

 

[Eaststanding]

Good first half, comfortable and confident on the ball, but for some better decisions we’d be two or three up. McEachran controlling the midfield and the movement and pressing by our front three is excellent. Beadle looks lively and agile, couple of decent claims so far, two loose kicks aside he’s done well.

Don't listen to the Swansea commentators then - watch the Swansea pictures and listen to Radio Oxford! They're about thirty seconds behind.....but that just means you have plenty of time to look forward to what they're going to say!!

Really good half for us that.....the front four worked their B*****s off, and the Swansea defenders couldn't cope. Everyone looked rock solid at the back too.

With the standard Jamie Guy disclaimer, Harris has looked dangerous, Beadle has looked calm as you like and McEachran has been running the show. Rodriguez will have better halves, but he's not been bad.

Only question mark - we probably created 4 or 5 quality breaks in that half, but the only goal was a weak effort leading to an even weaker piece of keeping. Going to need to be more clinical in the final third when the real games start.

Not been to happy with Sam Long, Marcus Browne seems to be back to his best or near as. Jordan Thorniley glad he’s with us, Josh McEachran as said above doing a grand job.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I’m going to enjoy watching McEachran this year. He’s controlling this game.

I said the other day he is going to a massive signing for us and will be a joy to watch. His ability on the ball is excellent. He is a better Herbie Kane IMO.

 

[Manorlounger]

Lots of folk trying out the SSU, shame that one or two didn't wash before they came out. A bit of deodorant wouldn't go amiss either. I thought the sewage works was bad enough but the bloke next to us, phew!

 

[Symp59]

Excellent football ,movement Excellent and yes our center forward is a much bigger than you think. Quite a bit of promise Thorniley looks good nice to see the new right back 2nd half.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Throw them out of the SSU and into the East Stand. Standards must be kept.
