    Jones/Andreu

    His decision making yesterday was poor... pressing at the wrong time, releasing the ball at the wrong time, passing when a shot was the better option. That said, I can see some quality in there above that of most our other players... perhaps another player that needs a goal (like Chaplin, Thomas...

    Enjoyed the match today, second half I thought we played well and definitely could have won it at the end but overall a point each was probably fair. Looking forward to Tuesday evening.

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    He's not good enough as a winger... would like to see how he does in the middle where his attributes are better suited but we have better options there currently. He is capable of better than we are currently seeing I think.

    Trouble after

    Heard some commotion behind me as I got to the Tesco side of the underpass... anyone throwing rocks with kids etc about needs their head looking at. Embarrassing.

    Burge - 9. Great performance today. Sterling - 7. Best game yet, perseverance and a bit of quality got him an assist. Brown - 6. Not on long but did nothing wrong. Willis - 7. Did well at right back, good versatility. Hyam - 7. Solid performance throughout. Thomas - 6. Put himself about well...

    One in particular comes to mind when he shanked it to their right wing, Willis made a last moment tackle near our 6 yard box!

    I think Burge could have cost us a goal with his kicking. Sterling did nothing wrong throughout, Burge made an excellent save or two so overall a good 7. If I was doing half points I might have given him a 7.5. For the record, I do rate Burge...

    Burge - 7. Great saves, poor distribution. Sterling - 7. Solid if unspectacular performance. Brown - 6. Dodgy 1st half but better in the 2nd. Willis - 8. Battled well and brave for his goal. Hyam - 8. Did very well against a good striker. Doyle - 8. Won the ball well, captain's performance...

    I thought we battled well, Doyle was brilliant in my opinion, won his tackles and allowed us to get forward well. Burge made some excellent saves but also let them in on goal with poor kicking... not sure I could give him MOTM. Thought Shipley was out of sorts again, still not convinced he's a...

    Match Thread Oxford United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 9th Sep

    I don't think there's a lot in it, got a feeling one goal will win it for either side with the lack of quality going forward. An early goal second half would do the trick.

    Shipley's going to get sent off if he's not careful. Stupid lunge then.

    I've read this forum for a long time and often been tempted to respond to some of your more ridiculous posts, but try to avoid internet based conflict as a general rule. I believed that most of the time you were trying to wind people up, successfully, but I'm now genuinely not so sure. You are...

    At least one prominent poster was, I imagine you could count back through the remainder just as well as I can. Several people around me in Block 17 also getting trigger happy. My desire for people to calm down a little extends beyond calls for the manager's head... we've just signed a new...

    I'm annoyed we lost today, and we do need to start taking points pretty soon, but I do think some of you need to calm down a little. We created chances, particularly first half, and on another day 2 or 3 go in and we're sitting pretty. We lost, in my opinion, a game we probably didn't deserve to...

    O'Brien - 7. Some good saves and commanded his box better than I've seen from him previously. Distribution still needs work... thank goodness Oggy is his coach Sterling - 6. Better today, but still looks uncomfortable at times. Worth keeping in the team based on a better performance. Mason -...

    Security a bit over the top?

    It definitely seems like they're trying to kill the atmosphere... it's not like we're renowned for causing trouble and even the protests have died out (for now). Not blaming the club, but something needs changing... it felt quite hostile today, almost as if I was at an away match.

    Security a bit over the top?

    I don't object to the pat down so much, but it's the insinuation when inside the ground that I'm trying to sit in the wrong seat? Or that I am so stupid I can't find it without their help. Still, gives people a job I suppose.

    Security a bit over the top?

    Unusually so today, drive down from Ashby and the wife was getting on my nerves... rather sit in the quiet of the stadium than have her in my ear for another hour and struggle to park!
