I remember when we didn’t beat Middlesbrough first leg play off semi at home. People saying we’ve blown it. I said it will be a different game there they will have to come out at attack us, we will win. We did. Keep the faith.

You do, you sound like a stroppy kid. Okay Haji missed a good chance, but it wasn’t a sitter. The way he ran on to the ball he looked like he could be arsed to me. “Can’t be arsed“ glib comments like that. If you have played football you would know, you can have skill, you can have...

You sound like a spoilt baby and like someone who has never played football

okay go and revisit some of the chances Middlesbrough and Ipswich spaffed to win games when we were flying. Look at teams we have beaten but that team looked much better in the game they played before us. Each game is different. They are not comparable. In football success and failure is...

We know the game isn’t replayed, but what he said bears some relevance to our game on Saturday. Well at least as much as over analysing a game we aren’t even involved in and bears no relevance to our league position.

I don’t think it was, just not taking responsibility on the ball. Trying to play perfect football never works. Perfect football comes from confidence and instinct. It was like they were looking for the perfect pass into the box, which you will never get in a packed and defended penalty area. So...

that illustrates how our wingers don’t get behind defences so our attackers can run onto the ball and attack it. Force the defenders into a position where they are facing their own goal. Saka and EMC cut inside to much. Don’t get a cross in. Don’t get a shot away. Dasilva despite his high...

First half we played like we had all the time in the world. But you will never draw them out with a slow tempo. Mix the tempo by all means. I thought there were spells when we did play with urgency 2nd half on Saturday. In injury time, yes some players looked scared to take a risk, hesitant...

Thats the way it can go. Scoring after 60 seconds isn’t always down to great play, sloppiness and luck can play a part. Against us defending was the priority. Against lower placed teams they have to give it a go. They will be more open. Comparing the two games is like comparing apples and...

He is a young player, he is here to learn. Yes I get don’t do it in your own half when you are trying to clear danger. But at the other end he has been a revelation, two goals and an assist in about 5 appearances. He was the most likely to unlock a disciplined and stubborn Oxford defence...

yes and some teams we beat back then are the opposite now to what they were. Football is a confidence game and form ebbs and flows. That purple patch was a bonus and was unsustainable, because footballl isn’t an exact science. It’s a myth that the best teams play free flowing inventive...

I genuinely think it was a mix of booing the team, booing the ref and booing Oxfords approach to the game. They have the right to park the bus and play for a point if they wish. But what was it, a red card, seven yellows and a yellow for the manager. A couple of that seven were lucky not to...

I love some of our fans tub thumping solutions. Booing them will show them the standard required and motivate them has been one of the best. Fans over emphasize the importance of games, they over simplify the task based on another teams league position. They predict unrealistic scorelines...

“It’s a shame it’s ended this way…….” It’s like some of our fans have been reading a novel and lapping it up. Then they come across a plot twist they were not expecting; so they have impatiently turned to the last chapter to find out the ending. To their horror the last chapter is missing and...

We had been relatively unsuccessful and underachieved for the size of the city. It was also post war and Coventry City centre was starting to be transformed on a massive scale. People were looking to the future with optimism and hope. Industry was finding its feet again. It fitted in with...
