RLB: JOB DONE

Following our 1-0 win over Oxford in the FA Cup we have progressed into the fifth round. Despite heading into this one as the bookies favourite and expected to dominate proceedings Oxford were prepared for battle and put up a decent fight. Ultimately Regis Le Bris is pleased to progress and thought we grew into the game well but he was disappointed we couldn't get a second goal to kill the tie.

JOB DONE

“The result was the most important thing, getting through, and we were able to do that in the end."

TOUGH GAME

"We expected a tough game, we had that last season when we came here, struggled and lost 2-0. They do some very direct play, winning second balls, and they have the ability to fight around the drop zone. That was a part of the game that was always going to be really important. We struggled with it a little bit in the first half, but I thought it was much better in the second half. We scored, which is always important, and I think that helped us to manage the match from that point on much better."

GREW INTO IT

“The attacking play improved as the match went on. The game became progressively more open. They played with a back four and were well organised defensively, to be fair. It wasn’t easy to find the right rhythm, but it was generally okay and it is often the case that in the second half, the game is a bit more open and you can create more chances. We did that, but unfortunately we couldn’t score the second goal."
