I would like to see a change for Hiwula or Jobello too many games were just carrying them no defensive support it sounds today and no support for Godden...O’Hare needs to be starting hearing he was brilliant today we need someone who can get hold of the ball & create.
Hiwalu was shit today and I'm normally on the side of keeping him in but I would defo drop him next game to say pull your finger out and do something.

Hiwulla the stand out disappointment from the afternoon, we could've been out of sight but some very disappointing stuff from him in the final third. Dabo caught out not knowing whether to leave it or boot it clear, it happens and it was at least good that Marosi didn't hold the grudge against him for it. Marosi not at fault really for any of those goals and some excellent stops again.

Think we just assumed it was job done at 3-2 and paid the price

This is how Hiwula plays every game! Mostly anonymous but once every 4 games he'll cut inside and put one into the bottom corner, then go back to being anonymous again. The lad's never had a 9 or 10/10 performance even when he does score.

End of last season he was on fire in disappointed he hasn't carried it over but if he gets 13 goals from his position I would be happy just need someone who is going to assist godden game in game out.

I think Hyam will be replaced by Mcfazdean next week and O'Hare will start. It's a pity Allen is still a couple of weeks away.
It was a strange game from us as we did not play our passing game to any real effect. Oxford are another team that like to play the ball around but from 10 plus corners lacked teeh all game.
Mason was missed today. But you can't get away from the fact at 2-3 we should have seen the game out. That's where McFazdean is crucial.

I agree mate hyam is solid but McFafdz helps Kelly lead the team

He was on when they scored the 3-3 goal

This is what a good start to the season does. A select few think we’re world beaters and when a result doesn’t really go our way (an Oxford win would’ve been justified, let’s be honest) they start causing carnage. We don’t have a divine right to win any game in this league.

I think allen and o hare are both more forward thinking midfielders than shipperz and Westbrook, I think godden will get fed more when both come into the side

Allen is box to box but for me is better defensively than westbrooke & Shipley him & Kelly will be solid together I think O’Hare will end up in there with them

Whilst I agree that McFadz is an important player, he wouldn’t have stopped that third goal. It was an error from Kelly and a low hard cross across the face of goal that can go anywhere.

If we must blame individuals blame Kelly for it. And to clarify, he’s allowed to make the odd mistake because he’s human. More pissed off he didn’t take Mackie out at some point personally.

We were caught out every time down their right. Gave them acres of space each time they had the ball. All we had to do was stretch our line and close the space.
