'Crucial points dropped but 10 points from 12 is exceptional'

Oxford United conceded a stoppage-time penalty to draw 1-1 with Charlton at home on Saturday.

It saw their three-game winning run end, and the U's are now back inside the relegation places.

Former Oxford defender Ben Purkiss admits Ciaron Brown's decision to pull back Charlton's Lloyd Jones and give away the spot-kick was "odd".

"(Brown) has been exceptional for the entire time they've been in the Championship and prior to that as well, and he's such an experienced player

"It was just odd. For me, their penalty was more of a penalty than ours, and I'm just not sure what he was doing.

"It was silly to say the least, and the impact was two crucial points. This is that time of the season when you're going to come away and say 'how did that happen?'

"How did Blackburn beat Millwall away? Millwall had a man sent off. How did West Brom beat Hull? Hull got a man sent off".

Purkiss adds: "Its crucial at any stage of the season, but absolutely critical right now, but it happens.

"If you look at it in the round, 10 points from 12 is a pretty exceptional return, and it's all to play for".
