First half was embarassing. Neither of our centres can tackle. Oxford spotted this and consistently attacked our right edge the weaker of the two ,where we just weren't up to it!
Louis Robinson came on and upped the energy levels as he always does. This seemed to lift us a fair bit.
There seems a real lack of communication,confidence and energy.
Sencond half was a different story... Again!
Cox (a prop/ second row)was brought on at centre to shore up the right edge and that stemmed the flow down that side. He also seemed like a magnet to the loose ball, putting Macani away for one of his brace. Will cox ever get to play prop?
Pelo and Sykes worked well up the middle.
Will Lovell was handled well by the oxford defence.
Just as it looked like we were going to snatch a win and were pressuring oxford with some good D close to their line, yep we give a penalty away and with it the game!
Frustrating day out at hemel!
One of the Hemel staff hit the nail on the head when he said they look like a team of strangers!
