First half we're kicking into the wind.

Braintree awarded penalty on 33 mins and Kenny Davis steps up and scores!
Oxford equalise through Sercombe on 42 mins.
Further home goals from Hoban on 64 and 80 mins have virtually killed off the tie.

So no giant killing or second round for us again, perhaps Oxford weren't the right team to meet at this stage and on the plus side we didn't just fold as we appeared to have done under the previous Manager.

It's blowing a hooley!

Proud of the team. They were excellent in the first half and kept the Oxford crowd very quiet. To perform as well as they did against a very difficult wind was very impressive, butinevitably the wind dropped and we understandably ran out of puff. Even so, we gave away a needless penalty and then missed one so perhaps we could have got something out of the game on another day..?

Good away support last night. Now we all need to get behind the team against Kidderminster on Saturday and make as much noise as we did yesterday.

Up the Iron!!
