Adam Murray admitted it was a strange atmosphere in the dressing room after Oxford United's game against Droylsden on Saturday, because a lot of their players were unhappy - despite having won.

The U's midfielder was relieved to get the win, but knows his side can do much better.

"It was a disappointed dressing room, which was a bit strange because we'd got the three points," he said.

"But with the expectations we've got with the team we've got now, we expect better than that.

"It's three points and I'm still happy we got them because in those kinds of games you can get sucked in and you can lose them.

"It was an ugly game, but we got the points, and that was the main thing.

"I think we need to pass the ball more. We've got to have confidence in each other on the ball.

"Sometimes we go forward a bit too quickly. If we get that extra pass, we can open teams up more.

"Hopefully the win will help build that confidence a bit more, and we'll see more passing."

Droylsden hadn't won on their travels all season, but that didn't make it any easier for the U's.

Murray said: "It's one of those difficult games because before it starts fans expect you to go out and slaughter them, because they're bottom of the league.

"And they often turn out to be the toughest games because there's no pressure on them, they come here and are not expected to get anything, so they've got nothing to lose and can play their nice passing football and do all the little tricks and that.

"All the pressure was on us to get the result and it was an ugly game."

Quinn volleyed home Murray's free-kick on 31 minutes for what turned out to be the winner.

"Their keeper was only small, but he kept coming out and he collected absolutely everything," Murray added.

"He was coming all round the box.

"That was the main thing with the free-kick, trying to keep it away from him because in the first 15 minutes everything went into his hands.

"So it was nice to see Quinny get on the end of one."
