Oxford United 1‑0 Derby County — Post‑Match Comments from Head Coach John Eustace
“We are very disappointed with the result. We started quite well, but then as the game went on, we started to lose more tackles and more duels, which was really disappointing.”

“We got into some good positions on that left side, but the quality in the box wasn’t good enough.”

“For their goal, we didn’t lock in; we had two opportunities to win some tackles and we lost them, and then they countered.”

“In the second half we huffed and puffed, we had some half‑decent chances, but still we were not good enough in the final third.”

“We need to put this right quickly. We pride ourselves on being difficult to play against and being well organised with and without the ball. At the moment, we’ve just let ourselves down a little bit.”

“I’ve said it has been a slow start and a frustrating start (to the season). Of course, it was frustrating today, too. There is no‑one more frustrated than myself. I was really disappointed with the performance, but it’s important that we don’t get too disappointed.”

“We’ve got a huge game now on Tuesday … We’ve got to put things right.”
