A disgraceful performance by a group of players not fit to wear the hoops but with whom the clubs future holds so much. Today the team was awful and lucky it was only 4. When we arrived it started raining and we had the usual shit view. It was obvious from the start that we hadn't worked out from last years hammering that Oxford have two decent wingers and again they ran riot. Beacaump opened the scoring showing what a good player he is but a QPR goal was then disallowed when the defender and goalkeeper ran into each other leaving Steve Slade with an open goal. For some reason not known to anyone in the ground a foul was given against the keeper. A What Happened Next moment led to the second goal, Lee Harper kicked against Ready and the artists formally known as a football team then went on to play pinball with each other before leaving an Oxford player to score from 30 yards with a mishit shot which went through Harper's hands. It really did show what the management has been working on in training. I.e. nothing. A third and fourth followed in equally embarrassing fashion which promoted many supporters to leave. One guy behind me stated that "The last time we let in four goals we drew 4-4", I reminded him of the Forest 4-0, Charlton 4-2 and Norwich 4-2 defeats and the poor blokes optimism was shot down. We pulled one back with a great strike from Scully which saw us fans chant "we only need three more". On the subject of supporters the Oxford and QPR fans joined in a "Harford out" chant and "Vinnie what's the score" chant which I'm sure had nothing to do with Harfords resignation two days later and Vinnies disappearance from the club ever since. Man of the Match: The bloke who said that Vinnies Dog has a lot to answer for (You need to have read his book to get that)
