Chris Goreham

The nerves are being shredded here at Carrow Road, and I can hear howls of frustration from where I'm sitting.

Harry Low
BBC Radio London at Loftus Road

Richard Kone had no right to score from that position but used all his strength to hold off the defender and flick the ball up to volley home with his left foot from the edge of the box.

Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed
Lee Bullen
Former Sheffield Wednesday player on BBC Radio Sheffield

I've noticed that when we get the ball into the final third we now seem to be gathering more players around the 18-yard box, so I wonder if that's a tactical change from the manager.
Oxford's passing has been a bit slack, too.
