The problem is if he does somehow get a goal, you'll have fans on here starting to think he's suddenly the answer to all our problems...

At some point he has to get one, surely.

 

[NorthWestOx]

C'mon Sparky.
Score a couple to get the confidence back!

Buchel still playing???

 

[EastStandKieran]

If sparky can't score today he never will

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Sparky vs Buchel. Bit desperate.

 

[Londox]

Benji more likely to score than Harris

Harsh but fair

 

[chuckbert]

He’s never going to score is he? Wales had 2.3 xG and scored 1.

1-0 win for Wales against a country with a population of 40,000.

To be fair we only beat Andorra 1-0 away and 2-0 at home, population 87,000.

Some of the minnows have got better at the low block defense and getting everyone behind the ball, they offer nothing going forward and then have everyone defend the box, doesn’t leave a lot of room to score so the hammerings have become less frequent.

Interesting to see Büchel, surprised he was here just 10 years ago. Not the worst keeper we have ever had. One scuffed effort from MH which BB comfortably saved low down. Not a match for the purists!

Benji was better than Sam Slocombe that season. We'd have been champions, imo, with a good L2 keeper that year.

If we had 16/17 Eastwood and didn't go deep in the 2 cups we would have won the league I think.

For me there's a lot of joy in watching the Harris press, forcing big-name players into mindless mistakes.

What he does filters through to the rest of the team.

Especially without Brannagan, we needed him tonight to set the tone.

Luckily we have plenty of other really talented forwards too, but I'm definitely glad he got his start and his goal this evening.

Won us the first half. Credit's due.

I suspect Harris has come back partly to compensate for the loss of Cam. He needs to be totally up for it and fired up, like he was today - he’s hopeless when he just strolls through it.

 

[Foley]

Really happy for him.
GR suggested that he is the 'best presser at the club'. Excellent management and fair play to MH.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

He should start every game

 

[holdsteady]

His goals normally come in runs so he probably should play the next few.

Over the moon for Sparky, and rather bemused about some of the comments that he fluffed the first shot. It was a decent first-time effort from the edge of the penalty area - hard and low, and he made the keeper work. Lovely finish from the rebound.

 

[Peterdev]

He played well throughout and gave 100%. If he camps reproduce this form over the next dozen or so games the yellows are staying up

 

[Jster]

He has definitely struggled at times in the Champ (he admits it himself), but I've never understood the vitriol some have aimed at him. An intelligent and hard-working player who played a key part in our promotion. I'm really pleased he got the goal last night.

 

[bazzer9461]

Well taken goal last night but that goal can’t Smooth over the cracks.as much as he was a good striker in L1 with us considering his goal scoring stats before he came to us, he hasn’t done it so far in the championship but I do hope that goal last night gives him the oomph to go out and get more.
Maybe it’s been a lack of confidence or championship experience I just hope it gave him the oomph last night.

 

[Essexyellows]

Goal scorers thrive on confidence which is easily lost when they don`t score.
Break the sequence then a trip to Wales to keep it going boyo!

 

[yellowbow]

The reaction to Sparky’s goal from his teammates shows that he’s a popular member of the squad. They all seemed really happy for him.

I’m not his biggest fan but, fairs fair, they obviously value him a lot more than the majority of the fanbase and that says a lot.

The great bit about that was the usual duo behind me who always ALWAYS slag him off (you're s**t Harris) choked on their words in the split second between the save and him changing feet and slotting in the rebound! They really didn't want to celebrate HIM scoring. Tossers.

I celebrated him scoring, and I still think he's not good enough as a Championship striker. It did make me chuckle that he needed 2 attempts to get it in

But whilst he plays for Oxford, I hope he plays well and scores goals.
