Just what we needed pre-Xmas, a dead easy win against one of the worst teams in the league.
The wind and their keeper gave us a laugh - although he wasn’t the only Oxford player who found touch easier than finding a team mate. Main take away for me was seeing Ampadu look comfortable with 90 minutes under belt. Bogle had a good game, but him, like all the rest need to turn up against decent opposition. Flat-track bullies rarely win anything. Anyway. It was fun. They were god-awful.
