Slow start from oxford. Bournemouth looking sharp. Crooks first effort wide.

Spasov fires wide when should have done better..

Missed pen.. probs justice to be fair as never a pen..

1-0 Bournemouth. Poor defending.

 

[Junior_1]

2-0 Bournemouth- oxford played offside and a simple finish. Poor.

 

[Junior_1]

Bournemouth the better side but very physical and clever with it. Ref should have booked 2/3 of them. Ox need to improve.

Lofthouse didn't take the pen after missing in ET at Burnley. Niblett scored in the shootout at Burnley but missed today!
Pen practice for next week then.

Dragged the pen wide. Poor effort.

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.

Crooks made that goal! Spasov with the tap in.

 

[Junior_1]

Just as robbo, faz and Allen turned up!

 

[Junior_1]

2-2 James! Slipped by Savi.. lovely finish with his right

 

[Malc]

COYY

3-2 Bournemouth: think that’s a hat trick for the number 9. Very good player

 

[Junior_1]

Lopes fires over. Games got scrappy with subs on both sides..

Oxford hit the bar and after a scramble lopes missed his kick! 10 to go
