United 2 Oxford 1 - report

[Blade59]

Feel more relieved after the game than anything else. Half time was a very low feeling as although we had not been as bad as the previous 2 games it seemed as yet another game that would just slip away from us. However what we did show in the second half was some real fight and determination to turn it round. Still lacked quality a lot of the time and 2 or 3 players away at least from looking a top half side. However the result was the most important thing yesterday was and credit to the players for digging it out. Hopefully this will give them a bit of confidence to get the season going and we can get a couple of additions in before the deadline.

Expectation at this level should always be promotion. If the management team (including the board) fail to get the transfers in to meet this then they have failed.

After 5 previous failures to achieve this, and looking at the squad we have, did you truly think promotion was the most likely outcome this season?

My hope was promotion and my expectation was a playoff push.

Must have been on my phone at that point. No, I saw a few kicks today and Millwall where he struggled to clear half way from dead and feet. If he keeps ball out then I can cope with that.

Wasnt it very windy at Millwall?

I set my expectations in July, not at the end of the transfer window. My hopes have now been adjusted accordingly, but my expectations have not.
