George Ball had given Banbury the lead midway through the second half but Matty Stenson equalised for Bucks late on as they snatched a point. 

It was a frustrating afternoon for Wilkin as his side who were booed off by a small section of the home crowd at half-time. 

“There’s frustration from a small fraction of the crowd that booed us off at half-time," Wilkin said on the incident. "And as I went into the half-time meeting, one of their players was actually laughing about it. 

"Knowing that they feel like they've got us rattled, and they thrive on that situation. 

"I find that a little bit disappointing. We're all frustrated. I don't think it's a major area of the crowd, but it just doesn't help the players.”
