Good result, great to have TB and Skip back short term, now SK takes the reigns we could make those play off places.
Looking forward to Saturdays game and the potential it may bring.
Things are looking positive.

We dug in and finally got some luck when they laid siege to our goal towards the end of the second half and hit the post. The 4 minutes of added on time went on for eternity. Beautiful goal by Ben and he was helped by an overlapping run down the wing by Rob Howard which seemed to distract some of their defenders. 3 big points to us and well done TB and Paul Sawyer for getting the team up and fighting again.

Thank you and well done to Tony and Paul for steadying the ship and giving us all belief back and not leaving Steve King in a manic situation when he takes over. It won’t be easy for Steve but starting a few points above the RZ is a big help and if we can grab a win next Saturday in the FA Cup it’s happy days

Played well first half and deservedly went in at HT one up courtesy of a great strike from Ben.
Really had to dig deep late in the second half and credit to the players who defended with great determination throwing their bodies in front of everything Oxford tried to keep a clean sheet.
Big thanks to TB and Skip who have steadied the ship and have us playing as a team now rather than 11 individuals.
MOTM - Ben.

I make that 4 wins and 2 losses under T B and skip
with the same squad as Adam &Jamie.
Well done to our temporary duo and thank you for all your good work with the squad.

Yes, after only 2 wins in the previous 17 games, it is pretty impressive that TB and Skip manage 4 from 6 (and we were unfortunate in those couple of home defeats too).
So much in football hinges on good man management and team spirit.

A great debt of gratitude is owed to TB and Skip who have rescued our season from being a very unsuccessful one.
Well done chaps!
Over to you Steve King and look forward to being in the Play Offs, at least. No pressure and Good Luck.

Absolutely delighted for Tony and Skip to sign off with this win. Just reward for all their efforts in revitalising the squad with the same, or even fewer players. I just wonder what might have been had they not stepped down in the first place!? Well done Darts and given that Steve King seems to have seen a few of the recent games, then he will be well prepared for an assault into the first round proper of the FA Cup.

From my angle, Smithy got finger tips on the one that hits the post.I may be wrong, but I’m not so sure it was luck!
Agree 100% about Rob Howard’s run!
