It won’t be. Whoever wins or whether it is a draw, it won’t be a season decider. Some fans seem to love heaping false pressure onto the team and creating false scenarios.

The fact we have BTA 10, Simms 10, Wright 10 suggests the strikers aren’t necessarily letting us down. It’s the goals conceded column that has let us down when compared to Middlesbrough and Ipswich.

Kitching hasn’t been winning headers in our box recently.

It’s not about sitting back. It’s about not being totally gun-ho and stupidly cavalier. Good teams will score 2 or 3. But also if they only score 1 it shouldn’t matter.

Yes definitely. I though Brannagan pushed his luck as well.

Because he has scored a few great goals. But he can’t dictate the midfield. He can sometimes play neat triangles like Dasilva. Torp is seriously lacking in pace and lacks physicality (Esse already has shown he can be harder to knock off the ball). When it becomes a battle and scruffy in...

But it is because he is off side to begin with. It’s a team tactic to place him where we do at the original dead ball. Because Simms does it too and don’t get me started on EMC positioning and running ahead of the ball.

His job is to get us up the pitch, which he does. Considering we play. With two wingers and two fullbacks (at times ridiculously high). Yet he still manages to put more crosses into the box than our wingers and fullbacks. He is one player with the instinct, we need to whip this in. The big...

It wasn’t his game. He is here to defend, Oxford barely mustered an attack second half. We needed the lock smith, not the safe door.

Ah so you agree on the it is a tactic for him being deliberately off side on the first ball.

It is. Lots of teams place players in blatant off side positions at set pieces. It’s where you go from there.

Long range passes aren’t really an option against a well organised team like Oxford sitting deep. He actually is a forward passer, others were killing the momentum and going backwards.

Yes MVE lazy getting back and got a bollocking because Woolf really was stretched on the cover. MVE was one of the worst players on the pitch today along with Sakamoto and Torp.

He passes sideways and backwards because he has no options in front of him. Torp lacks pace and is useless at finding a pocket of space. Sakamoto and MVE delivered nothing from wide. Sakamoto just didn’t have the pace to go outside the Oxford defender. That was apparent early doors, so he...

simplistic view of leadership and influence on the pitch

Have you seen kick it for a ticket at half time? They are all free agents without a contract.

It frustrates me Haji standing off side at set pieces. Most of his decent chances today were actually flagged off side and therefore not chances to score It is obviously a tactic so down to Lampard and the coaches as much as Haji Wright,surely?

I agree. I think fans can start over analysing stuff and you can end up disappearing down rabbit holes. I mean results came in based on our strengths and weaknesses, but equally the oppositions strengths and weaknesse. So It quickly becomes over complicated. The way I look at it is we stole a...

Unless they have been playing and only just released - No.

Take it as a compliment.
