Robinson told the Oxford Mail: “I’m happy, how could I not be? There are so many different things I can thank the players for.
“We missed chances in the first half and people will say it’s two own goals, but we asked that question.
“I said at the end of last season we didn’t put enough balls in the box to ask questions of the defenders.
“We did that, but equally when that happens we need players running into the box to put them under that pressure.
“We had more people in the box today than ever before, more crosses going in and it’s a real gut-wrenching feeling that we’ve only come away with only one point after another fantastic performance.
“We were the better team. Their staff and their players will agree, Oxford United should have won today.”
It was a relief for the U’s. Defeat would have been a fourth successive league loss, despite performing well in large parts of those games.
Defensively, I think Robinson is struggling to find his best partnership, but Elliott Moore put in a good shift yesterday, possibly his best, and was unlucky not to be rewarded with a goal.
