Early goal please Saints. They’ll sit back and look to frustrate, and we typically struggle in these games, end up doing a lot more pointless passing and the pace of the game slows and slows which just doesn’t suit us.
I’m hoping the fact that they beat us earlier in the season will act as motivation, as could easily relax too much as it’s ‘only Oxford’ particularly given it follows two massive games against top opposition leaving this as the ‘easy game’ of the week.
Nice to be good with offensive set pieces as it’s an extra weapon in games where we’re stifled in open play.
 
Going to be tough today. 5th game in under two weeks and we looked really tired against Norwich second half.

Oxford in decent form too and had some good results away to better sides.

1-1 I reckon.
