That last penalty was very Hemed like, nicely rolled into the bottom corner.
A really enjoyable game. Our lads played a high intensity and skilful game.
Sanchez in goal was commanding and delivered some excellent and accurate kicks to our players. Great penalty save and was close to one more.
Morrison at right back was quick and strong needs to work on delivery when he is in the final third.
Moore at centreback struggled at times.
Kerr alongside him showed quality but was overpowered in the air too frequently.
Cox really good going forward, always a threat and tenacious in defence.
Collar excellent in midfield, ball winner and great distribution.
Sanders struggled at times against a more mature Oxford line up but never gave up.
Mandriou was very creative and what a goal.
Wide man Ahannach was a handful. Lovely control great turn of speed. Oxford struggled to keep him away.
Wide right was Tilley, sharp and swift, rode challenges well and a great strike putting us back in the game.
Alzate had the hard task of lone wolf up front, not his best position I think but he might have had a couple of goals if he had been braver.
No subs used, not necessary. A good call I thought as the team needed little tinkering. Having watched a number of youth and under 21/23 games I do wonder why we never seem to want to sign a young Glenn Murray type. Can we not find one or don't want one? I am aware of that Swedish lad that is coming in January, maybe he is that type.

Given that he was making his debut at this level, that sounds promising.
Possibly not surprising, as his usual position is right-back.

Just checking out the club website and I notice the that Liam Rosenior is pictured discussing tactics with Simon Rusk at the Kassam Stadium .... as Liam, as far as I'm aware, isn't a coach in what capacity was he there ?
If only to cheer on the Under 21's ... he is now even higher up in my estimation than before ....

The Argus reported on December 17 2016 that Rosenior was about to begin studying for the UEFA Pro coaching licence. There was an article on the club website on May 22 2017 where he spoke about five intensive days he had just had in Belfast as part of the course. I would imagine he is getting involved with the coaching at the academy either as a direct part of his course or to gain valuable insights and experience.

George Cox has signed a new two year deal, and James Tilley, a new three year deal, today.

I am pretty sure when he signed there was some sort of mention about him eventually being involved in some sort of coaching?

I was fortunate enough to have a quick chat with Liam after the Arsenal match as he happened to be sitting on a table next to me with some friends outside the pub I went to! Very pleasant guy.

Thought Ahannach was the class player on show: good control and turn of speed even when they doubled up on him.

When is the next U23s game as CH said that Oxford was too soon for Baldock but he could play some part in the game that followed.

Look on the official site, click on fixtures, and the drop down menu which says U23 team.

Thats too simple for me today as I am celebrating b ut have just checked and it says 16th October but I was reasonably sure that CH said that there were 2 games this week, but then again I could have misheard it.

He was quoted in the Argus last Saturday as saying (in relation to Baldock):-
However, as you have discovered, he misspoke. The next game is indeed the Blackburn Rovers fixture on Oct 16.
