Matt's happy with clean sheet at last

January 18, 2026

OXFORD'S new head coach Matt Bloomfield praised his team's "excellent performance” - which earned them a first clean sheet in 16 games.

The U's remain five points from safety in the relegation zone, but Bloomfield felt there were plenty of positives from his first match in charge.

He said: “I thought we were excellent. In the second half we created multiple opportunities, we had the momentum, it just felt like a matter of time before we got that goal.

“Stanley Mills had one saved, we had one cleared off the line - we came close so many times.
