If we had JCH we'd be winning this league! We're a far better Footballing side than Oxford, we're just lacking that final piece of the jigsaw. I think once Martin is match fit he could be as good as JCH would have if he’d signed for us. Martin has played most of his career in the championship JCH has had one season and it’s mostly probably going to be his only one. Martin hadn’t played since March before Tuesday so I’m surprised JB started him again today he looked very tired and was struggling to get off the ground for headers which is understandable considering. Don’t get me wrong I’d like to see us sign JCH if the contract length , fee etc was right but I think we have enough up front to make top 6 if only Collins could find his shooting boots more often. He’s had probably more chances in this first 11 games than any other 11 game run in his time here but only scored 3 goals. They’ve mostly been really great clear cut chances too. Hopefully the goal at the end will get him up and running because he’s getting in to so many good goal scoring opportunities.

It’s goals that count and we never scored more than them. I really do not get these kind of comments but each to their own. Be gracious in defeat.

You make your own luck in front of goal. We were unlucky with the brown situation but not scoring enough goals today wasn’t down to luck. You lost to 9 men You held on with 9 men v 10 for 6 minutes, we scored with 10 men v 11 for half an hour! Its hard to see what point you’re trying to make other than make yourself look foolish 👍🏾

Oxford punching above thier weight, frustrating as we've got much better players on the whole. Similar to our other defeats this season, still conceding soft goals against the run of play. As for the referee, I'm speechless! Sour grapes, we are currently top on 27 points, 12 points and 11 goals better off than you. Can’t argue with that , I wasn’t impressed by Oxford and thought we were the better side for the majority of the game but it’s about being clinical and you took your chances so much better than we did and have done most of the season so far. So many times over the last 40 years we all see our sides come up against league 1 promotion teams and go away thinking they weren’t great but they were clinical. Sheff weds and Plymouth last season being the Perfect example.

we will still finish above them this season. They fluked that one with masses of assistance And your goal came from Mills being hacked down from behind and the ref doing what he’d done all game, which was screwing it up. Enjoy your rare victory over us rest assured normal service will be resumed soon.

Ultimately we've paid the price for missing our chances in the first half. We could & probably should have had the game won before half time. If we'd been given that penalty that completely changes the game, if he thinks there's no contact then it's a yellow card if not the surely it's a pen ? The Brown sending off looked pretty harsh to me, yes he dived in but I'm not sure there was really anything in it at all the ref completely lost the plot 2nd half. We kept going and could easily have nicked a point come the end, if Oxford are the benchmark for this league we have absolutely nothing to fear.

Referee has ruined a great game of football. He hasn’t been good but…. Kick a ball away you get booked. When a foul has been given and you carry on playing it’s a yellow card. I’ve seen it several times this season and it will happen a lot this afternoon. It was frustrating watching us but the ref hasn’t cost us the game. Connor T’s slip for the BB goal cost us as did the poor pass in midfield that meant Jevani B had to do what he did and get sent off were more important. Felt sorry for Connor T because he was very good, that mistake apart, and will be massive for us this season. And I felt sorry for Matt C at the second goal as the Oxford player in front of him did put him off. I thought he was offside but there was another player to the right who may have played him onside. We were by far the better team in the first half but didn’t take our chances. Even when we were playing well our crossing into the box was poor. Had Oxford taken their chances we could have been 4/5 down in the second half. I think we will do well this season, not top of the table but we outplayed the team who are for long periods of this game. Well done the team for making it tighter than it should have been. More displays like that and we’ll be closer to the top than the other end. UTG!

Surely Scott Sinclair has to be getting more game time with his experience. A calm head needed in front of goal in a team that is currently creating enough chances. Good perseverance from Collins today to get one at the end. UTG Yeah glad he got his goal , his goals to chances ratio this season has been terrible but hopefully that’ll give him confidence. Did anyone think it was a clear foul in the build up to it though ? Officials were so bad I know all of them can get the odd thing wrong but today I reckon they got more decisions wrong than they got right. Agreed, clear foul on Oxford player. 2-1 a fair result.

Goal from Bodin made the difference. Oxford must love depending on an Ex Rovers player with all those links to their favourite team in Swindon.
We know what a great player Billy is - sadly for Oxford will soon be injured - but for that he would be playing somewhere more fitting of his abilities.
Definitely outplayed them today, considering we have many players just settling in we will do ok. Oxford won't be going up for sure.
