Worry about Josh Key though, I reckon he’s had his mind turned again. His head was all over the place today, he had an absolute mare!

Started slowly but then asked to play out of position from where he got into three really good goal scoring positions and forced one, maybe two, very good saves out of their keeper.

After years of proper chaps, what did everyone think of our stoppage time tactics? I have to say I enjoyed every moment apart from that last minute indirect free kick!
Think back to how you felt at the end of the Cheltenham game.

Yeah he wasn’t getting down to shots like he is now earlier on this season. He’s looking too class now.
Never noticed any problem about Jamal stopping low shots, was a bit concerned when he seemed to be carrying a bit of a paunch but don't remember to many goals slotted in around his feet. Doubt Big Kev has been too strict with his dietary regime!😏
My criticism would be the fact that he doesn't leave his line enough to claim crosses, too often going for the punch or waiting to stop the shot. Perhaps Bodmins finest should be concentrating on this aspect of his game rather than the myth that he can't get down to shots.

Completely different. All we did today is stand up to Oxford when they were getting desperate and trying to bully us and then Jamal kept on to the ball a little bit longer than necessary. For all the talk of proper chaps I'm not sure that's anything too different to how we played under Matt Taylor.

Ran himself into the ground by the end of it and kept getting himself into position to score. I’m pretty convinced the keeper got a fingertip onto the one that hit the post.
