Well done GC and the team. Had to battle hard at times but we also played some good stuff. Nice to see that we now look like a team with a goal threat and with goals in us. Now can we look the same away. Tough one coming up at Burton. Here's to another 3 pts.

Jaakkola Got bundled over a lot on their corners which shouldn't happen for a bloke his size. Hard to say if he could have done any better on their goal but generally safe. 7

Davies solid performance the wingback system pulls him and alfie out wide quite a lot but i dont recall any difficulty. 8
Craig marshalled defence well good to see him belting out orders. 8
Kilgour two bad passes apart a good game where he was confident with the ball at his feet.8

Hare A couple of great crosses especially for the JCH Goal. Is he good enough defending? 7.5
Clarke our midfield have a terrible habit of inviting opposition teams to shoot at goal. Clarke and upson were guilty today. But for me he is the pick of our midfield players although slightly off the pace today 7.5
Upson fantastic goal needs to offer more in attack given we are playing Ogogo as well. A couple of times in the first half he was beaten too easily but otherwise a good game 8
Ogogo pressed hard from the start not much positive forward play but thats not why he is in the team Motm 8.5
Leahy not convinced about his defending but is being covered by Alfie, you can be an attacking fullback with defensive bite akin to jockey Alexander. Needs a bit more steel. 7.5

Smith Ran hard but a bit like gavin reilly and the lad we had from stoke. Promise a lot, busy but is he going to score 20goals or 15 or 10. I hope so as he puts in a shift. 7.5
Clarke-Harris 8 for his header alone. He does look great at times but i wonder that my judgement is clouded and perhaps he is just an above average player in a limited team. But for now lets get him fit firing on all cylinders and moving us ip the table. He does seem to have a go at his own players quite a lot...a reminder that he is the star man. 8.5

Subs: Adeboyejo like to see jim have a run alongside JCH. 7
Nichols what a goal now can he push on. Needs to work hard 100% of his time on the pitch. 8
Rodman no impact NOLE

Crowd 9 great atmosphere lifted the team
Ref whistle happy. 5
Oxford well turned out. 7

Jaakkola 7 - beginning to look the part

Davies 7.5 - a few errors but has been a good buy and mainly solid
Craig 8 - totally in control
Kilgour 7 - a few mistakes in the first half but overall a strong performance

Hare 8 - amazing energy and good crosses
Clarke 7.5 - best game for a while. Did brilliantly to set up the third goal
Upson 7.5 - superb goal
Ogogo 9.0 - was absolutely everywhere. Amazing energy especially in the heat. Won lots of 50:50 balls
Leahy 6.5 - did ok. Not as good defensively as Hare.

Smith 5.5 - the lad tried hard but looked very lightweight
Clarke-Harris 7 - great goal.

Subs: Adeboyejo 5 - did not bring much to the game.
Nichols 7 - good goal and looked dangerous
Rodman NOLE

Crowd 8 - great atmosphere although disappointingly less than 7,000 gasheads attended
Ref 8 - ref did ok in what could have been a difficult environment. A little lenient at times to both sides.
Oxford 6 - makings of a good side but were disappointing in the final third
