The mission IS just hard. Ignore the first few Retros, they are after you. 
Always stay close to Toth's Drayman, use missiles (IR or FF) to kill the 
retros that are attacking him. Two missiles launched together (two 
launchers on a Centurion) are able to kill an undamaged Talon in about 90% of 
all cases. In the conversation with Toth, get him to say: "I hope we wont't 
meet any Retros" or something similar. The attack from The Church of Man will 
then start immediately; no problems with the automatic landing. After all 
Retro ships are destroyed, follow Toth to Oxford; when his ship stops, you can 
land.
If you have a Centurion, you can fly towards the attackers using the 
afterburner and kill them with missiles before they even come near to Toth. 
But you have to be really fast, otherwise the next wave will reach him.
