Thought that Williams was superb ,especially the header down for Ferry but in general,his willingness to run and drag defenders around combined with his pace marks him out as a special player.Not sure about Ward,for someone with so much experience,he gives far too many freekicks away.Great substitutions by Paolo meaning that Miller could sit back and let Ferry get involved more and Roberts was causing problems from the off after a fairly anonymous 1st half from DaVita.Felt for James Collins who with a bit more composure after Williams had hit the post should have put us ahead in the 1st half but all in all,good performance topped off with a superb meal in an italian restaurant in Alfreton so happy days

my take on him playing is that whilst alan mac looked brilliant at cb last term he's still learning the trade and it's maybe too much for him to be guiding younger, although more experienced, defenders through games. we may be using this 6 month loan deal as just that to aid alan mac's development as a defender.
Two words, Joe Devera. 25 isn't really inexperienced. That's not a dig at Ward by the way, I can see some sense in bringing players with Championship experience into a league 1 club with Championship aspirations. Just saw the Collins miss. He should have scored but was under a fair bit of pressure from an incoming defender, he wussed out a bit but it wasn't a Ronny Rosenthal. |

Did it take a defelection, Batch? Saw tweets at HT that the radio said it looked like a good block on the replays.

It was a very good block apparently. |

I personally think that Alan Mac and Troy are our best partnership. Ward and Flint as good backup, one with experience and one with less so, but the way Troy is a bigger threat at corners and the way he can pass a ball are excellent. The one thing though is that he does often make one mistake per game, but then so have Alan Mac, Flint and Ward in every game so far this season. |

also the football league has just told me that oxford are now suffering their worst run of form since 1991, just a shame that fatty evans has to benefit from their charity
Christ! What's happened? Last time I looked they were joint top of the League and looking a shoo in for automatic. |

I'll have to watch it again. Didn't notice a deflection first time, but it could well have done. edit: Impossible to tell on my recording. Defender was on line and came sliding out. Collins hit it and it looked like he smacked it over. But It could easily have hit the defender. |

Why do the fans of every team we beat seem to be under the impression we are over spending and will go bust soon?
Think it annoyed the Shrews fans yesterday when a load of Our fans behind me started waving ten and twenty notes at them, I didn't join in as i only had loose change. |

Just watched the highlights on player and I have to say that Williams looks like he could have ended up with a couple of goals with a bit of luck, he looked brilliant.
And in exact contrast Marvin Morgan looks an absolute donkey.

Morgan did more damage to us with his headed clearances, Not sure what happened with our corners yesterday, nearly everyone hit long but with no Town player at the far post or coming in from the back. Did the pitch seem narrow to anyone else yesterday? |

Yeah I made a comment about the pitch, not sure if having so much spare turf just gave the illusion of it being narrower than it actually was though.

That big area to the side of the pitch allowed PDC a massive area to roam around in. But he still went way out of it bless 'im.
