Thought he was actually decent today, particularly first half

Not far off where I’d be. I’d probably give Rushworth a 4; initial free kick save okay, but wall positioning is somewhat his responsibility. And I thought BTA was about worthy of a 7.

They do. Still think he lacks a little quality on the ball considering his reported asking price.

Do you know what though, fair play to Oxford. Had a disrupted pre-season and came out that second half a different animal. They knew they couldn’t match us for quality on the ball, so they just came out and fought. Second half they seemed like they won every second ball for about 20 minutes.

More of meaty flavoured one.

All I can think is that Sakamoto / Sheaf not yet 100%. Just okay enough to make bench.

Agreed my crispy friend.

He just said after witnessing Torps free kick it felt it was only right to sacrifice him to the Gods of football, and let him die on the pitch alongside his team mate, Matt Grimes.

Allen and Sheaf could have come on at 60 and I think it would have been fine. Also Sakamoto of course.

I think he could have been played midweek, but only if he played less minutes with a plan for less minutes today as well. But essentially, I agree, I wouldn’t have played him at all.

Don’t think it can really be an off day, just needed to be subbed on 60 mins rather than crucified on the pitch. Allen would have been a fine option for that period.

It’s a lot of minutes for Grimes this early in the season. People who have never exercised before in their lives, let alone past the age of 30 will struggle to understand of course. “it’s only been five games, they’re professional footballers for god sake” blah blah blah.

BTA was decent today and sometimes people forget that it’s not necessarily that a different player is “better”, they are just different so the opposite defender has to instantly adapt his game. Sakamoto instantly gave their fella on the left something different to defend against.

Ah well. Should really have had that won in the first half. But away point. We’ll struggle away from home against better sides if we set up like that imo.

Unlucky from Wright. Great from Sakamoto.

Take a nap on pitch.

Think some of the players are struggling with fatigue now. Rudoni, Torp, Dasilva all look tired.

Just when we had actually garnered a bit of control back.

Oh dear

Are people on a delayed stream? We’ve been doing that for the last 5 mins?!
