Im pretty sure he was calling for Wilson to be back in goal not long ago.

Superb win. Rudoni will be a miss. Arm in a strap.

Hopefully just support while it settles down. Probably opened up the shoulder joint when scoring so there will be some bruising which will settle down quickly

We won, so that is the main thing. The good form can continue and we are now in the playoffs!

We did make it very hard for ourselves though, and were a bit complacent at times. The biggest problem was that our midfield was all over the place and in an odd shape in the second half. Eccles was not playing particularly well, but it all got changed around to accommodate Sheaf, and when he came on we fell apart.

I do wonder how it is going to work going forwards now, with him getting shoe horned back in. It wasn't the right sub today, but we got away with it. Mainly due to Oxford being absolutely terrible. I don't think we will be so lucky against better teams. Oxford haven't scored in 4/5 games, but we let them get two today. Hopefully we take it as warning.

Anyway, we're in the playoffs and it's our job to stay there for the rest of the season now. Game on!

what sub would you have made though?

ideally Torp is fit and you play him further forward with Sheaf and Grimes in the middle - Sheaf was solid when he came on so surely you’re not blaming him for Eccles being appaling, again?

Phew...glad that's over.
Made a mediocre Oxford side look good at times.
Defence was...not great.
Attack was decent, and 3 goal + pen is a good haul.
Didn't have confidence in Ellis on pen if i'm being honest...short run up and soft shot ensued.
At least it's a win, and results went our way too...bonus

Wins all that matter now. On we go!

Rudoni in sling will be precautionary, fact he played 1st half should suggest not serious as looked at first glance.

Christ haji looked rusty

Reading Oxford are struggling for right backs. I like Tats to score or assist at 7/4. Also think Kitchen is due a goal soon, he is 12/1 to score anytime.

Looked like he had popped his shoulder making the header. Hopefully it was just tweak as those can linger for ages and even take surgery to sort fully.

Wouldn't say we are playing better - but we are managing to pick up wins!
How many times have we seen other teams do that over the years and say "solid championship side"...
Need these wins with that bank of 3 games against three of the top four coming up.

That penalty from Simms was so lousy. So soft and weak and so easy to figure out which way it was going to go.

Best club in the world at headers
Wins even with missed pens
8 league wins from 9
5th placed
Better win percentage than 9%

Enjoyed that. By no means a marquee performance but hard fought against a side playing like a non-league outfit fighting for every decision from the officials.

I still feel like there's more to come from the side. Stoke really should sell out. This team is up for it.

Who's playing consistently well in the chasing pack? Most of them can have their good weeks then look Sunday league the following week.

We were the better team but soft goals out of nowhere is a concern. But it’s 3 points and now the playoffs are in our hands. Beautiful.

Our attacking play was very good. Could have had 6 today. Saka finish unreal.

I’ve criticized tatsu and I think on this seasons performances the argument to improve on him is a fair one

but he was very good today

Our subs are a bit odd, Not sure Eccles should have been on until right near the end and bring Person on just added to the danger.

We get punished far to easily when we make a mistake

We won most importantly - looked like the sun made it hard for both keepers during the game.

Officials were on LSD today though.

Never ever see those pens given, Thomas gets elbowed early doors and a player runs his studs down MVE's leg but nothing done. Books their player for diving (again rarely see it) but then the ball is about 5 foot out when Wright "kept it in" and they miss it.

Missed spells of the game but it felt a bit like we made harder work of that than we needed to. I think we need to be a bit less open when we're ahead in games. EMC leaves his left back massively exposed.
