    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    Definitely But today wasn't "disastrous," nor was it "the end of our season." We definitely should be worried . A week on Monday has to be treated like a cup final though. Win that and the world we look a hell of a lot rosier. A draw and we still won't be any the wiser as to when we will...

    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    I think he's good until it starts going wrong in games and then he doesn't know how to rectify that.

    Agree. The ball was pinging about their 5 yard box quite a bit and it always seemed to fall to them so they could clear the danger. We weren't good enough, but we lacked that bit of luck too

    Disagree. We were slow getting it into the box BECAUSE they were winning every header, so we were trying to work it to the byline for cutbacks into the box most of the time , rather than just lump it in. This was why we were reluctant to just throw high balls in there. Thomas would have...

    The one thing I would have done today at the end, was to throw Thomas on up front. Just for the last 10 mins. Oxford were zero threat at that point and they had been winning headers in their own box all day long I would have just sent Thomas into the box to be a threat, ruffle a few feathers...

    Yup That's it in a nutshell.

    Transfer Rumour Romain Esse

    Oggy was complaining about all his little flicks today. Too many and too often. There's a time for tricks and a time to just keep it simple. Very talented, but very frustrating at times.

    Lampard

    Not sure from a tactical perspective, but Onyeka should give us a different dimension to our play. So, I think we can deploy pretty much the same tactics, but we will have a ball winner in the middle of the park and someone with energy and strength. That can only be a bonus, surely. I thought...

    Well done. 👍🏻 Hull dropped points and it's a tough game for Middlesbrough on Monday. I think it best to steer clear of here tonight. It's going to be so OTT. Doom, gloom and gnashing of teeth. We didn't play badly. We just didn't play well enough, or create enough clear cut chances, or test...

    Why not? Hull lost today and if Sheff Utd beat Middlesbrough, we are still in an excellent position.

    We knew it was going to be tough. Well, I did anyway. Still should have won of course, but there was one awful piece of referring today. The failure to give Brown (I think) a yellow card for wrestling Wright to the floor, after her was already on a yellow. Unbelievable decision. Not saying it...

    Oh yes. Forgot about that one. Decent save.

    No, it hasn't, I agree. We need more though. We haven't created enough chances or tested the keeper enough either.

    Eccles has had a very good first 45 I would say. In what way has he sucked? Shocked at that.

    Fell short unfortunately. Out general play is okay, but too slow at times and the bottom line is, the keeper has had just one shot to save. The early effort from Wright. Torp was in a great position on the edge of the penalty area for a chance, but inexplicably he put it wide, when it seemed...

    I'll be interested to see what FL has to say in the post match about Onyeka. As his wife is due any moment, it could be down due to that, as I mentioned earlier. Anyone who has had a baby will know you get sleepless nights and false alarms etc. Can turn up in the dead of night at the hospital...

    I'm pretty certain that FL does NOT see Oxford as an easy 3 points. Far from it. They are scrapping for their lives.

    I wonder if he's been up all night with his wife, what with her due to give birth

    Yeah. Got to be confident of a win here for sure. Close, but 4-1 (talking about a couple of goals at the death, as Oxford push for an equaliser)
