Tavares looked exactly the same as before his injury TBH. Fast but not very good.

Looked like someone who hadn't played in a year to be fair. Made a couple of poor decisions, couple of poor touches. Not much more to say. He has some pace though!

I would keep Godden he knows where the back of the net is .
I felt for Simms , he’s just not getting the rub of the green but his work rate . Palmer MOTM . Great energy great game and what a goal .
the whole team played with ease .
Bring on the Inbreds we will destroy them .

I want an easy tie like Sunderland next round.
Oh wait a minute……. Just watched their highlights. And we thought Oxford’s goals were gifts.

Agreed, he definitely needs that loan, but ultimately I think he'll move on at the end of the season.

He'd probably just found out about @alexccfc99 not planning to go to the replay if there would've been one

What was with the lack of celebration from Godden? Just down to the scoreline or is he unhappy?
Click to expand...
I assumed it was just due to it being the 5th and 6th goals against a lower league side. Don’t think we need to read anything into it?

As a group of fans we’ve sat through enough dreadful cup performances so more than happy with that. 6-2, into the draw, some good performances and some minutes for those who needed it. Excellent.

Just because it is our player (for now), doesn't mean I can pretend to like a certain kind of penalty. It's also fair to question why our underperforming striker who could do with some confidence isn't given the chance to take it.

Or we can just shut the forum down and live in silence...

It’s a pretty strange take - the penalty was expertly executed - simms isn’t a registered charity - he can score goals from open play to boost confidence

Didn't think Tavares was that bad, just probably not our level is he. Unlike some of our younger players who have gone on to have unspectacular non league careers I do think he'll probably do pretty well in league 2 or something.

It isn't a strange take at all. Palmer scored so you are on the hunt with other posters.

Godden coming on and getting 2 goals in 25 minutes is most likely going to have a negative effect on Simms' confidence and state of mind Unfortunately.

We could have scored 10 , felt a bit for Sims, great assist and keeper stopped him twice with decent saves. Thought Wilson went down like a sack of spuds for their 2 Nd goal. Yes Tavares first game back ,but his first touch reminds me of a cement mixer.

Problem with Simms is he always hits his shot very flat and low to the ground. He should’ve lifted the ball over the keeper

Oxfords game plan was all wrong.

Did their manager look at the way that we play, particularly at home? Personally think they should have set-up to frustrate us and let us pass the ball around the back.

Instead they had a go right from the very start and we exploited the space left behind.

My understanding was also that Ox didn't have its full strength team either, and a key player omitted from lineup due to presumed transfer forthcoming. I only took a brief glance through their forum though

I hope not. Could Godden have created Sheaf's goal? No way!

Simms is doing fine, he's a good part of a team. The goals will come.

I don't believe it was a penalty from confidence, more one that was played as safely as possible by rolling it into the net. Thankfully it still went in and the score line makes it almost irrelevant anyway, but given it's a match thread; it is pretty fair game to talk about it and call it what it is.

Simms in my opinion, should have been given the chance to take it. It has nothing to do with being 'a registered charity'. He's our first choice striker and at present that's one of the stand out weakest areas of the pitch for us. He needs some confidence and that would have been a perfect opportunity for it. Not someone who is flapping over signing a new contract or not, and might not be here in five minutes.

Regardless, we won 6-2 and got into the hat for the next round comfortably. That's really all that matters.
