Not for the first time this season City had the chances to be well in front before Oxford Oxford took a lead that could have been doubled before the break had the impressive Dembele's shot gone in instead of crashing against the bar.
The introduction of Yu for Williams at half time was a masterstroke by Manning in that it allowed Twine to assume the role he was brought in for. The diminutive Japanese winger lifted City with his energy & close control setting up Knight to cross for Armstrong's close range equaliser and then his pass to Roberts drew a penalty conceding foul by Harris which sub Nahki Wells converted with aplomb.
It was a decent performance, no more than that, but if Yu carries on as he started then City have signed a real gem. Can he play on the left? If yes then he switches over there for the soon to be returning Earthy to play on the right.
Ian, Mark, Neil, & DaveP discuss the action & more.
