Melville happy with improvement

Oxford coach Andy Melville saluted an improved second-half display after they boosted their play-off hopes with a 3-0 win over Burton. Steve MacLean scored twice for the hosts either side of a Tom Craddock penalty against an Albion side reduced to nine men after Darren Moore and Tom Parkes saw red. Melville said: "In the first half they started to pass it and we didn't take care of the ball like we should have done and gave it away cheaply, which didn't give us enough chance to get into the game. "In the second half we passed it a lot better, and that showed in the third goal. I know they were down to nine men. "We passed it around so much better and when you do that against nine men, obviously gaps are going to appear. "What pleased me most is that we were a really strong unit at the back and our front three are a handful for anybody."
