And there’s the key to it.
We just played a playoff team, on their own patch. They had a plan to not just stop us but to beat us and they looked very capable of doing so. We weren’t at our best by a long chalk but it was only through two moments of brilliance by Kamara and Lang that we got anything out of that. Every time Oxford broke, they looked dangerous. They made our normally capable defenders look vulnerable.
Oxford have had an understandable wobble but they were the early league leaders and they are still up there challenging, for a reason.
A good point, considering we were below par.
