O'NIEN POST OXFORD

Man of the match Luke O'Nien was full of smiles during his post match press conference. He was proud of how the lads performed today whilst he personally enjoyed and embraced the physical challenge that was put in front of us today. He went as far to say he loved his many battles with Oxford striker Will Lankshear and he is now looking forward to the next round. When asked about who he would like to face in the fifth round, including a possible derby, he said "I'll take anyone! Bring them on!".


RESPECT TO OXFORD

"Listen I know their manager very well, good friends with them, I've played against them and I know a few of their boys. We were here last year, we know what they're like and they gave us a hell of a fight. The game was close, a lot of respect to them and we edged it. Proud of the boys. They're a very strong team, they're very well organised and it's hard to break them down. We kept just plugging away and the defenders have to stay on their toes and be ready when called upon." 


BATTLE WITH LANKSHEAR

"Yeah I loved it! We were having a chat throughout the whole game and he gave me a few elbows to the mouth, I gave him a few back and this is what football is all about, having a good time while you're doing it but obviously you want to come out on the winning side and I'm sure me and him are going to have many more battles in the future."


PITCH CONDITIONS

"When the pitch was quite wet it actually smoothed it out a little bit and the boys have got a lot of quality. You saw the way they handled it and some of their touches. We can play on anything and we were good today."


GOOD POSITION

"We're in a good position now. We are a good team and we talked in the changing room before the game [saying] we are a good team and we need to step up now to be a great team. Great teams to the details again and again and again on whatever pitch, whatever stadium. We're getting there."


UP FOR THE CUP

"If you're not dreaming then what's the point? It's one of our goals, we've talked about it all week. We've got a lot more to do in the league as well. We've got a lot of unfinished business this season."


WANT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR IN 5TH ROUND?

"I'll take anyone. I'll take anyone! Bring them on!"
