And just like that we are now in the top half of the table jumping 12 places....
I think little lesson there to not overreact so early in the season.
As a 41 year old, who's been watching Oxford since I was 7 years old, I don't tend to ever overreact so early in the season, weather it's been a good or bad start, as I know how things can quickly go from one extreme to the other at this stage of a season, but it was the level of quality, attitude and performance throughout the team that really worried me.
We've been slow starters every season under Robbo, but I never panicked, as you could see that we had a good team of good players, and they weren't playing badly, so you had confidence things would soon turn around, and they did.
But to be fair, this time around the whole team were bloody awful in the first two games, and the new signings didn't look like they were up to it at all, mentally or physically, so I don't think raising concerns about that was an overreaction, they were justified concerns.
Today was only one game, against awful opposition, so a bit of perspective is needed, but players who had looked like they were simply not up to it, were excellent today, so hopefully this was a shot in the arm for them all, and a big confidence boost, and they've finally released the shackles.
And who knows, maybe all these injuries to key players has been a blessing in disguise, as we've now seen that Sam Long is a genuinely excellent option in BOTH full back positions, and we've all finally seen what an absolute gem of a player Anthony Forde is, and Robbo may have just found his best position!
