Some of our lot looked like they were running through treacle today compared to Oxford who are rapido. Rodrigues did a wobbler and got booked just before half time and then subbed off in the interval @NottsfansWe had chances to equalise in a period of being on top and then Oxford score a second to kill the game with their first attack of the second half. Still we played some okay football and almost held our own against a better side.
Two tough trips down in the Home Counties (if Oxfordshire is counted as that?) for Artell to start with and we've done well in general. Looking forward to seeing what we're capable of at home with a full week's training put in.
No giant killing then.
On the topic of taking their FA Cup exit badly, the 'even Bonne scored' made me chuckle. I wasn't really aware of the beef between the 2 clubs until yesterday, although the TV commentary suggested it may be more from Gillingham than Charlton. Amongst other things, apparently Charlton used to lay on free buses to their matches from Gillingham, which the latter took badly.

Decent ground that the fans haven't been to since 2005, they are shite this season, they'll probably rotate. Relatively decent chance of an upset, no pressure on us should to perform or get a result. You realise draws like Stevenage/Port Vale, Gillingham, Oxford, Plymouth and Sutton were possibilities right?
I once had a meeting with Charlton Athletic. Can't remember who it was with. The Managing Director in the early 2000s. I don't think it was Richard Murray, the Chairman at the time, but it was a long time ago. It was to do with the business, not the football side of things, but I remember being a bit surprised at the way he spoke (to his colleagues, but openly in front of us, people he should have been impressing) about the players, that they were a bunch of idiots that wouldn't be able to put a sentence together. The thing is, I understand that some players don't put a great emphasis on academic studies, but their 'job' involves spatial awareness and being able to think quickly. Maybe not all of them, but I talk to a few footballers, and I'd rather spend time with them than whatever smug twat it was that we met with, and I'd definitely have preferred to work with them, which is why I never bothered with a follow up meeting with smug twat.
Terrible draw. Guess we got favourable 1st and 2nd round ones so swings and roundabouts.
Thought we were destined for Luton away when they were reading the away team's number out. What a shocker that would've been.
