Shrews news

In the FA Cup 2nd round United scraped a 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury Town. Second half goals from Matt Murphy and Rob Folland rescued Oxford, who were 2-0 down after 55 minutes thanks to two goals from Steve Kerrigan. United's starting line-up was the same as for the Bury game, with second half substitutes Steve Anthrobus and Jamie Cook (on for Derek Lilley and Jamie Lambert) turning the game around. P&#229l Lundin was booked in the first half for time wasting after being forced to move the ball about five yards for a free kick by an extremely picky linesman, who also missed a clear offside decision before Shrewsbury's first goal. The replay will be on Tuesday 30th November. Don't forget the match report.
