Will post updates seeing as the Ox Twitter is quiet..

No team sheet but looks like Lopes is on the bench.

Slow start from oxford. Bournemouth looking sharp. Crooks first effort wide.
 
Crooks again fires over with his left from 20yards out. Ox dominating l.
 
Bournemouth the better side but very physical and clever with it. Ref should have booked 2/3 of them. Ox need to improve.
 
My take, 2 even teams and a scrappy game. The difference was poor decision making at key moments by our lads and them showing composure at those times. We haven't shown that composure at the key times.

You wouldn't tell Bournemouth are the youth team of a PL side at halftime. Our subs are doing a proper warm up whilst theirs are just kicking the ball around like a Sunday Lg team.
 
3-2 Bournemouth: think that’s a hat trick for the number 9. Very good player
 
Owen James our bests player today, skins the full back and fires just wide..
 
All over 3-3 cracking game. Oxford did very very well to come back from a very poor first half. Fair result.

yep, cheers @Junior_1 ... I was hoping to catch the game. Change of plans last night meant I didnt

What a pleasure to watch a game where players are tackled, get up and get on with it instead of rolling over 20 times as if they had been shot
A special to mention to Karl Robinson in the past I’ve been one of his critics, he’s changed my mind, he was watching the game and at the final whistle as the the players went into the dressing room he shook everyones hand including the Bournemouth players, fair play to you Mr Robinson. I think it’s fair to say he is committed
 
You can tell the goal really means something to the U18s:


Indeed!

He has always been great at this, even when he was getting pelters during our very poor form.
