We weren't awful we were decent as were Oxford and it could have gone either way. I thought it was a good game between two sides who have both got aspirations of a play off place and in today's showing I think we'll finish top half again this season with our current squad. If we can make two or three good signings in January then we've got a chance of making the play offs and being competitive in them but we do need at least one more quick wide player, I said a few weeks ago if Bodin gets injured we'll struggle. Got to give credit they were outstanding defensively today we tried everything , low pass build up, long diagonal balls , get it out wide cross it in , but they were well solid and nicked the goal. No need for a meltdown we're doing alright. UTG. we gave the game away,Nichols one on one (bad control) f**ked it up first half Telford one on one(bad control) f**ked it up second half Can’t make those mistakes let alone twice in one game,then bad passing in defence cost us a goal All self inflicted dc must be fuming Telford pathetic attempt just about summed up this game. |

Byron Moore is f**king useless. No way he will be here next season. He only stayed this season by default. Why is he even getting minutes though? Because DC didn't get the wingers he wanted in the summer. He said that already that he missed out on them and we don't know why , maybe their attitude didn't fit or maybe money who knows ? I think that if we sign a couple of pacey wingers in Jan and keep Bodin we'll make the play offs. Defence is decent we're sorted up front midfield is sorted but we lack pace out wide. Also pace out wide will help defensively. |

Oxford were immense at the back and it was the kind of performance that we've put in over these last few years at their place , solid at the back and nicking it by a goal. The last two times I've been to Oxford I've come away saying good solid away performance rode our luck a bit happy with the win and that's how they'll feel tonight. Not sure Oxford were immense as we had plenty of half chances we just missed the usual bit of Bodin magic to finish one move off, let's hope he's not out for 6 weeks as we've no decent winger without him, if I was DC I'd start Broom at the Mem as he's our only hope whilst Bodin's out as Moore's lost the ability to beat his man. Although Leads surely couldn't do any worse as a RW? I couldn't understand why OC was so wound up today, he seemed to catch the LB in the face early on, got booked for needless arguing about a throw in when the ball clearly went out off Gaffney's shoulder then somehow got away with a red when the ref decided to not give me a second yellow after he reached for his card with another needless foul. |

Not sure what you mean by that ? He came on near the end and his movement was great he battled for every ball and gave everything. |

Looking at their forum Radio Oxford thought we had a definite pen turned down prior to their goal, and some think Nichols was a dangerous player for us. Looking at the highlights were not a true reflection, thought we were the better side first half but did forget how many chances they squandered. Still won’t win them all, but think we might be best with 3 5 2 as we don’t have any decent wingers.

Unless Bodin signs a new contract you have to fear now he'll be gone in January although hopefully DC will get the proceeds of any sale |

I'm not sure Moore should even be an option , my heart sinks every time I see him warm up its no coincidence we looked poorer soon as he was subbed on for Gaffney , who again worked hard, held up well and is a far superior player to Byron Moore . He's lucky he's had the two year deal, I really can't see how that could possibly be extended after this season . I bloody hope not anyway , waste of a shirt |

Blimey was that edited by an Oxford fan as we a few decent chances? So DC blamed TB/Bola post match but ignored the fact Locks could have stopped the move with a decent tackle! |

I think nichols in the 1st half and telford in the 2nd half made a terrible hash of a great opportunity to score.
Both were clear of the defence but were let down by a poor touch on the ball.
For me they were the defining costly moments in the match.

If was a game of both teams throwing everything at it but buggering it up either down to poor finishing or solid defending. I thought at half time one side will win 1-0 but it was 50/50 who. Oh well on to the next one decent enough season so far plenty of positives. Also I'm not convinced the goal was bolas fault he was forward and the ball was played short and their winger was running right towards it. Hospital pass to Bola was the way I saw it at the time and the highlights confirm it for me. |

For me they were the defining costly moments in the match. Wasn't the defining moment Oxford's goal down to TB's poor pass? Looking at those highlights you have to question why Sweeney was dropped today as most of Oxford's chances came from TB's three mistakes. |
