[Nonleagueherewecome]

Ogogo doesn't sound like he's kept possession much

Certainly should have found Ponticelli then judging by the Eakin Wince Sound Effect, but then playmaking isn't really his strength. Very unbalanced midfield today with a couple of passengers or square pegs alongside him I think.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

I pretty much agree. However, I have to admit to being a little concerned at the way robin's seems to have no idea what his best team or formation is so just appears to be throwing out random selections I the hope 5jat eventually one will work.

Best swearword/censorship ever.

 

[hill83]

No chance we are leading in shots

bet365 they have had 4 on target and 13 off, we have had 8 on and 2 off. I'd trust a betting company for stats like that over anyone else.

Not that it means much.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

I do think Shipley was important to our balance last season...gets shots in, too.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Left 5 mins early...that pole of shit looks like relegation fodder.

That too against a very poor Oxford team.

 

[Hobo]

Midfield is the problem. If you don't dominate the midfield everyone is fucked.

 

[hill83]

I do think Shipley was important to our balance last season...gets shots in, too.

I really rate him.

 

[stevefloyd]

Another one off side...max this time

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Aww FFS another goal offside. Great work by Shipley though in the build up?

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Is that now 3 that we got in the net subsequently ruled out?

 

[CV22SBA]

We had a shot!

According to BBC stats we’ve now had 7 shots on target?

 

[stevefloyd]

all over

 

[stevefloyd]

Now for the over the top phone in

[larry_david]

Think I'm just gonna turn off and wait for Sat. #risetogether #momentumfuckinggone

 

[ccfcway]

never gonna win this,cup, it helps MR to build to what he needs this season. not going to lose any sleep over this one.

 

[fernandopartridge]

8 times in 10 years out in the first round, a fucking disgrace.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Sorry guys just got out of work what was the side?

 

[hill83]

never gonna win this,cup

Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

 

[Hobo]

I really rate him.

Yes Bayliss runs and attacks defences, Shipley passes. Even if a Shipley pass doesn't come off you can see what he is trying to do. It is usually intelligent play. Not afraid to shoot either.

A fairly strong side then

Fine if we'd lost 2 nil to a higher league team but we've been comfortably beaten by Oxford reserves who are one of the few teams below us in the table.
Plenty to lose sleep over not least a 3rd game without scoring from open play.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Need to win Saturday now or I fear for the morale

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Battered by Oxford’s reserves, embarrassing. Robins needs to sort it out quickly.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

A fairly strong side then

Depends how much you rate the players! Still missing Burge, Willis, Jones and Kelly, and Andreu and Doyle rested. I think Stirling is struggling, Bayliss too deep and neither Bakayoko or Hiwula are wingers. But very encouraging substitute performances from Ponticelli and Shipley in particular.

 

[covcity4life]

Mowbray smashing it. U need to play good football for long term success. Fuking chavs panicking after 1 bad summer

Give robin's time.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Plymouth beat a pretty strong Bristol City side tonight 1-0 away from home

 

[ccfcway]

Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you

er, ccfc have done all that recently

Just back from London.

What happened and do we know who we've got in the next round?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Maguire Drew 2 in 2 for Wrexham. Worth a punt

Needed Bristol to score for £500
