BRIAN Talbot is mulling over whether to give his Oxford United players the "water treatment" before every game after their super showing at Rochdale.
All the Oxford players were sharp from the very first whistle at Spotland and that set the tone for the game, which the visitors went on to win 1-0.
Talbot admitted he had told them to have a shower before the match, and it clearly invigorated them.
He said: "I made them have a shower before the kick-off, and maybe that helped. It was only a small thing, but it had been a long journey and it freshened them up."
