FA Cup, 2nd Round Replay
AFC Barrow 3 OUFC 1
Glad I didn't go to that one then. It would have been a long, long 6 hour drive home to London last night and kudos to those 146 that made the trip.
Have to say I'm not so bothered with the result though. Obviously It's always preferable to win in any competition, but at least now I can bring out the old cliché of Oxford now being able to concentrate on the league without the distraction of the cup.
I think that this is total horse-cock, of course. We have a large squad easily capable of dealing with a couple of extra games, and a side winning cup games will only breed more confidence to take into those all-important league games.
However, we clearly sounded like we played terrible and deserved nothing from the game. Barrow were up for it from the off and as a result they have their dream FA Cup tie at Sunderland.
Clearly, we are missing out on money that would have been more than handy - this is the big disappointment of last night, if we're honest.
Nonetheless, if we are to have a blip, let it come this week with two cup ties to contend with - then push on with winning this pig of a league the following week.
Up The U's.
