It did feel like that didn't it? Palmer and COH in particular, our two most talented players, looking like they were playing with them, as a cat will with some unfortunate vole.
That was a great game, but today we were verging on taking the piss at times. We were very assured!
We still conceded two so not all one way

exactly - they had three shots on target and scored with 2 - was easy and comfortable but Saturday will be very differentWe still conceded two so not all one way
I do think there was an instruction towards the end of the first half to ‘take a breather’ and control the ball. Likewise after we went 4-1 up.
We turned it up again when Oxford pulled one back and Allen and Godden were brought on.
Robins managed the game very well and to be honest, we conceded 2 poor goals.
Well it was only 3-0 but you're first game was pretty one way as I recall, and against a team in the same league as usMy first ever game was against Oxford United in 1987 at HR. So, I’ve been watching the city for 35 years now and I’m trying to remember a game we have dominated like todays for the full 90mins. I mean we just completely ran the game from start to finish. Obviously I’ve been used to us being the better side for most of the games under Robins, but to completely run the game for the full extent is impressive. In the prem years we were often on the back foot against top opposition, so would rarely get the opportunity to dominate.
Can anyone think of a Cov game with such total dominance? Not just the scoreline, but the free flowing football. It was an absolute joy.
That’s the game! I remember the Bennett wiggle in front of the West Stand like it was yesterday.Well it was only 3-0 but you're first game was pretty one way as I recall, and against a team in the same league as us
I don't understand why teams with a lead don't do this more. Too often they cede possession softly and expend more energy chasing down the opposition. It seems to me that the way to conserve energy is to keep possession and let them chase us.
There was a game years ago, England playing Italy in Rome, where England needed a point. They controlled the game by keeping mostly unthreatening possession. I'd like to see that more than frantic punting of the ball into touch or to nobody and relinquishing the ball.
Muted goal celebrations from Cyrille, he'd never last on this forum.Well it was only 3-0 but you're first game was pretty one way as I recall, and against a team in the same league as us
Great header by CyrilleMuted goal celebrations from Cyrille, he'd never last on this forum.
Maybe it was the excitement of a rare big crowd I recall we battered Crewe in the JPT first leg, only to lose 3-0.
