Ogogo doesn't sound like he's kept possession much
Certainly should have found Ponticelli then judging by the Eakin Wince Sound Effect, but then playmaking isn't really his strength. Very unbalanced midfield today with a couple of passengers or square pegs alongside him I think.

I pretty much agree. However, I have to admit to being a little concerned at the way robin's seems to have no idea what his best team or formation is so just appears to be throwing out random selections I the hope 5jat eventually one will work.
Best swearword/censorship ever.

No chance we are leading in shots

bet365 they have had 4 on target and 13 off, we have had 8 on and 2 off. I'd trust a betting company for stats like that over anyone else.

Not that it means much.

I do think Shipley was important to our balance last season...gets shots in, too.

Midfield is the problem. If you don't dominate the midfield everyone is fucked.

Aww FFS another goal offside. Great work by Shipley though in the build up?

I really rate him.

Yes Bayliss runs and attacks defences, Shipley passes. Even if a Shipley pass doesn't come off you can see what he is trying to do. It is usually intelligent play. Not afraid to shoot either.

never gonna win this,cup, it helps MR to build to what he needs this season. not going to lose any sleep over this one.
Fine if we'd lost 2 nil to a higher league team but we've been comfortably beaten by Oxford reserves who are one of the few teams below us in the table.
Plenty to lose sleep over not least a 3rd game without scoring from open play.

A fairly strong side then
Depends how much you rate the players! Still missing Burge, Willis, Jones and Kelly, and Andreu and Doyle rested. I think Stirling is struggling, Bayliss too deep and neither Bakayoko or Hiwula are wingers. But very encouraging substitute performances from Ponticelli and Shipley in particular.
