They put it into our half, Bauer heads it off. They keep the pace slow. knocking it about their right back, long, Tex wins it, to Holmes, to Page, they get it back but Martinez is offside, FK to us.
Long to Josh, they clear, Tex heads it badly and another throw in to them. It's like the pitch is leaning, like that scene in Flash Gordon when the floor moves around.
Byrn brings it forward to Crofts, he ventures forward, nice ball but doesnt work. They clear. They keep trying to find Martinez and keep failing. Josh was nearly through just now but not quite.
Oxford keep winning second balls. JFC wins a header, they keep getting it back. Josh gets it bac, to Byrne, back to solly, down the line to Crofts, into the box, crosses, but they clear. Just.
They have a throw in our half, knock it about comfortably, until Solly gets in there. Finds JFC, he beats a man but is fouled. Solly, closed down, keeps the ball, gets it to JFc, goes back to solly, and it's off the pitch for a throw to them. Poor again.
Bauer has it in our box, we knock it about. JFC to Holmes, to page, to Mav, closed down but holds off the challenge, up to Crofts, to Holmes, he carries it forward. Closed down, to Mav, he is fouled and we have a free kick.

Rudd has the ball now. Long to Josh, heads to Mav, he does well again, finds Watt, back to Mav, on his right... doesn't do well. They break. Mac to Johnson on the break. Bauer tackles but not enough. Bauer tries again, they win it again, Mac crosses, Tex clears. To Crofts, to Holmes. To Watt. Finds Holmes, to Watt... HOLMES... PENALTY!? NO! MAV!? NO!
Corner from Johnson, near post.. free header, but Page gets in there just. Probably should have scored maybe though. Rudd takes a GK, goes long to Josh, Aribo to Crofts to Mav, lay off doesnt work and they clear. Tex comes over, gets on the ball, to Crofts, back to Rudd.
Rudd goes long to Josh, Seycombe gets there and they do enough to get rid.
Watt to Holmes, to Watt.. poor ball but we recover. Bauer to Solly, and Bauer runs off the ball, to aribo, to Solly, to Holmes, 1-2 with Josh, hits a shot over the bar.
I can't bear this. Even if it sounds like we may be getting back into it, and @JiMMy 85 is doing a stellar job. No one is there and even mad people like me can't be assed to follow the thread let alone pay for Player commentary.
Hope we can scrape a draw a least, still worried about relegation. See you at full time.
40 yards from goal. Holmes finds Bauer, they clear. Down the line, Johnson to Scartz, hits it up field. Hemmings picks it up, Solly wins it and gets it to Rudd. up to Josh, Oxford win it, hemmings gets it but Rudd read it.
They have the ball, but they dont seem bothered about having the ball so now we have the ball. Dunkley keeps stopping us though. Solly tries to clear as Johnson goes past him, high foot, they get away with it. They even get a throw. Poor refereeing apparently.
25 minutes to go. Still losing 0-1. Two good moves in the second half, we have hit the woodwork twice today. They hit it once.
We take a throw, Solly to Crofts in the middle, up to Watt who takes a bad touch but Holmes wins it, attacks, crosses... OOOOHHH Eastwood gets the ball before Watt can shoot.
We attack again, Holmes and Watt combine, they tackle. Solly takes throw, to Watt, takes on lundstrom, again he and holmes combine, but a foul by us means they can clear. Another dodgy decision.

an old loanee and a poor one at that score against us

Official attendance is 9k!!!!
Watt and Aribo coming on for JFC and Byrne.

Mavididi Crofts Aribo Holmes
Gotta go all out. Got to win this.
Holmes is now on the right. Aribo is in the middle. Watt is hanging close to Josh.
Josh wins a header, Aribo picks it up, Mac tackles him, Holmes fouls. FK to them.
Nothing to see here.
MAv turns... POST!!!
