TV Highlights Oxford 0 - 2 Southend

Forums New posts
Great cross from Demetriou for the first - got his head up and picked MAF out really well instead of playing it in blindly and hoping. :thumbsup:
 
The first goal shows the value of arriving for a header rather than taking up a position and waiting for it to be stuck on your head. You can get so much more power from arriving slightly late.

Good to see The Lone Ranger on the pitch there for the 2nd goal. From the bit you could hear through all the twaddle on the radio, it was he who forced the corner in the first place.

Great desire from Theo to get his head on it, as well.

:happy:

Match 'highlights' consist of just showing our goals and nothing else though.

The thing is Sky try to get the highlights out ASAP, and the easiest way is to not bother looking for all the good bits, and just concentrate on the goals.

For me, the first was a great header, and cross. The 2nd was clever movement from Robinson. He's the guy standing by the 'keeper, being shepherded by a defender. The defender seems to expect him to stay where he is to try and block the goalkeeper's movement, and therefore doesn't expect him to move away from goal and actually go for the ball. That created a huge amount of space.

Edited to reflect the real commercial driving force behind the current position.

Surprised that it hasn't been mentioned before (or perhaps I missed it) but Fortune starts the move that resulted in him getting a goal - see 1:10 in - Fortune holds off a challenge passes to Tims who passes to Dem and then gets the ball back and into the net. Good stuff. :thumbsup:

Was just going to say that. The clip this morning didn't show that but the You Tube highlights do. The guy has made a real difference to the team since signing for us
