Oxford still the dirty buggers from last season, we haven't learnt how to see games out.

2nd 3-3 of the season. Shame it wasn’t all 3, but on balance of play, we didn’t deserve to win

both games are the sort we got nothing from last season. We have a real player in O'Hare as well who hasn't got going yet.
Yes, there have been silly mistakes, same as at Portsmouth but overall it's been a good start.

We've got some great defenders, they just need to tighten up and we'll be all over any team in this league

Always nice to see Sunderland get battered as well

Unbeaten is good but being honest we didn’t deserve to win that.
The point is we were 2-0 up in the second half. There’s no excuse for losing from there.

We were 3-2 up in the 92nd minute. Again...

The worst thing is 2/3 were stupid fucking goals to conceed.

Love Dabo but what was he thinking. Happens I guess.

Liam kelly though for fuck sake. We had a man sent off 2 weeks ago for flying in like that and getting nowhere near the ball, it’s the 4th minute of stoppage time and their whole team is in it box and that’s a good time to try the same thing? Fucking idiot and would expect more from him.

Fuckin' hell. Why is anyone looking at the league place as if it means anything at this stage?

We're 3 points off 10th place too, just to add some balance.

What I find funny is we've got half the forum saying go studs up on Mackie and we need a Doyle kind of biter in the team. Then half the forum slating Kelly for having a tenacious red mist moment Doyle style

The goal we let in when Kelly should have easily cleared the danger for 3-3 was so preventable. And of course a classic own goal when no danger from the cross. For all Oxford's combatable showing we should be walking away with 3 points from 3 very well taken goals.

Disappointing not to get all 3 points after leading 2 nil with 25 left and then again leading in injury time. Hope the pattern off being unable to beat the teams towards the bottom of the league doesn't reappear like last season.

Good result that. Don't care if we were two up, Oxford are a good side and will rise to the top, they were all over us. Still in the mix, once O'Hare is a starter and Allen is in the side we will be much more of an attacking threat.

It wasn’t a tenacious red mist style moment was it? If he Eric Cantana’d him to the face then that would have been preferable because they wouldn’t have scored. It was stupid naive and reckless. You can be aggressive and a leader without being reckless and stupid. If you can’t see that then there’s no hope

Oxford looked so much stronger, quicker and more organised. McCallum and jobello very very poor.

Jobello acts like he’s usain bolt but really is pretty cumbersome for a winger

Eventful afternoon, 10 mins before half time shouts from eldest upstairs, run up to find water flooding out the bathroom, towels thrown down asap, run downstairs just in time to see water begin to piss through the kitchen ceiling via the light fitting, second goal goes in and a weird feeling of elated pissed offness came over me, at least the city are winning i thought. A diiferent kind of point to the one won at Portsmouth but a point all the same

What a ridiculous game. Had eveeythijg. So annoying to not win after a last min goal. Defending fell apart as soon as they scored 1. Both teams cid have scored 5. Wud have taken the pt before hand i guess. Oh well. Some positives but alot of defensive issues to be worked on

Dabos own goal is unforgivable even tho he had good game mostly

Robins ahid have changed it up earlier. But still we then scored and still no lessons learned from all the crosses. Kelly no need to dive in there

Frustrating

I’ve said this before - Dabo is a liability, when he’s played well he’s been brilliant, it he’s nearly cost us against Pompey, then today - look at the third goal... it was his man who scored the third
