Feck me is that the same Naby Sarr ? He has been brilliant, our best player so far, so confident with his feet and good in the air, one time he did get himself into trouble and had 3 Oxford players surrounding him, he just turned with the ball and was on his own ! This will be the kiss of death then.
Wouldn't totally agree with that, Solly got in front of his man and got his header away from a good cross unfortunately it fell just right for their player running towards the box who buried it. Sometimes you can't do much about them.
But we had players around him and someone should have got their body in front as good teams do
It looked to me as if our defenders were running towards our goal and you can't react that quick to get a block in surely when their player is running on to it.
Started really well and played some lovely football, had a couple chances besides the goal and wasted some good chances to put in a good final ball. Oxford didn't offer much until a smart finish after a poor clearance, and they've got more of a foothold since.

I will reserve further judgement until I see the goal again

Yeh Rich Cawley has mentioned that he's taking too many touches on the ball - I dont think he is but will be interesting to see if Oxford target that fact
Don't really agree with that, think he's just of a different breed of center half than you're used to getting at this level. He had one or two slightly shaky moments on the ball but recovered from both of them because he's so strong and technically gifted. They've clearly targeted him but haven't gotten much joy.
Don't know that I can say anything that hasn't already been said. Had a chance to be three or four up--Sarr missing a header, Holmes missing from a great disguised ball from Josh, Fosu making the wrong decision about 8 yards from goal, Fosu playing a lovely far post cross that Ricky sidefooted over (tough chance admittedly). Then they scored from their only real threatening moment to that point. Solly did well to get to get his body across to head it. Sarr and JFC (I think it was) might have been a bit slow to react but it fell right to the Oxford player and he did what we hadn't done to that point, take his chance incredibly well.
From there it's been more open.
Fosu's goal was excellent. DaSilva has been immense.
If I were KR I'd tell the team more controlled possession. More short passes. They're there to be got at. Just be patient and the chances will come. And nothing sloppy at the back. Stay focused.
