    Good idea not selling all our best players. Shame we never thought of that before.

    You're right, not got out of second gear and that was a stroll in the park. And we will face much worse sides than Oxford this year. They will be a top half side. If we apply ourselves like we are capable of doing this side can win this league.

    Thought we were in top gear right from the off. Worked their nuts off to get a grip on the game and carried on doing so the whole first half to pin Oxford back. Couldn't quite muster the same effort in the second half, but I'm not surprised in that heat. A game won with hard work and skill. Good to see.

    I've just seen Kenny Dougall pop his jock strap back in his pants draw muttering "it'll do for tomorrow that".

    Hardly broke a sweat.

    Thought from the outset we looked a yard quicker to every 1st and 2nd phase ball.
    Player for player (except msy be keeper) better ......we were also a much better team.
    Dunno what u guys think (and I know it's very early) but unlike last year.....the players and coach have a bit of a love in....ie I think they are gunna play for him....and he has a very good relationship with the players.
    Prior to the match ...i thought this would be a very good test....but we steamrollered them with may be a gap mid 2nd half of about 10 mins.
    Very excited about this season...Dougall is just what we have been lacking and a special mention for cavare and moore today....lets hope we hold on to this squad...this could be a very special season...well done reds!!

    To be fair many would have sold our players from season. "Useless" weren't they?

    Second half only started matching the first half once we freshened things up with some subs.
