Banbury lie bottom after 2 x 3-0 defeats. Got to fancy getting our first win of the season haven't we?
Tope returns to see his picture in the bar. Nothing more for him to celebrate than that hopefully.

Looks as though he's only had about half an hour from the bench so far.
It would be nice to get some points on the board, hope it's not so windy tonight.

That was a tough watch, Fair play to Banbury they have a few very good players, Hewitt was on another level and Wheeler gave Hart a nighmare.
Our best.player was Joe Parker and Jeacock the rest were 5/6 out 10 with a few even lower.
Just seen than Smalley was playing?
If Wright had scored that free header just before their It could have been different but...
On positive side ,great to be able to watch the Game.

Well, one team understood what style of play works on an artificial pitch. Unfortunately it wasn’t us.
We’re going to struggle if we persist with long-ball football.

Painful watch on NLTV. Not looking good. We were clueless. Looks like we're going down this year.

Well that didn’t take long for it to feel like we were back at Evesham.
I know it’s early in the season but it’s pretty obvious that Flowers-ball is quite one dimensional, we’re just long ball and cross ball merchants. Any team in this league will suss us out quite easily, turns out 3 of the expected weaker ones have done so already. When we did actually get it on someone’s head in the box, they fluffed their lines.
It’s going to be a long, long season.

Well, on a positive note we could've drawn that 2-2!
Deary me though, that wasn't very easy on the eye. That didn't work at all, knocking it long to a big striker against big defenders is a real leveller. I can't see how playing like that is going to create chances ad bring goals. Not good

The Club must carry out a review on the arrangements put in place to enable City Supporters to exit the ground at the final whistle. For a time at least the only open exit was the steep and narrow metal steps. This is not safe. I saw several supporters making this point to Patrick and Nicky as they left the ground. Taking steps to avoid the risk of trouble with visiting fans is understandable but the solution cannot be at the cost of home supporter safety.

Really poor, one dimensional long ball stuff. Joe Parker was our only spark, with him things started to happen but when the forwards are well marshalled, it's never going to work. You need spare runners coming in, any knock down Wright managed to get was just being dealt with.
Exiting the ground was a total farce as others have mentioned, won't beat a dead horse but today's arrangements were certainly not the answer.
