Foster 'ashamed' by Oxford defeat

Oxford United centre-back Luke Foster has spoken of his shame at conceding five goals in the bitterly disappointing 5-2 defeat at Histon.

He told BBC Oxford: "I am ashamed. That was horrible, embarrassing. We know that was far from good enough.

"No-one can blame the gaffer [Darren Patterson] - he couldn't control what happened once we were on the pitch."

Oxford have won only once away league game this season, and only beat Dorchester in an FA Cup replay.

Patterson said: "When I speak to the chairman I will be honest. I will shoulder the blame.

"It was men against boys in the first half and that's not acceptable.

"I will prepare the team on Monday unless I hear different."

The U's are next in action against Kidderminster on Tuesday.
