I'd imagine it's because he's a midfield enforcer and we controlled midfield yesterday without him. So better to play midfielders who are goal threats.
I don’t get why Onyeka didn’t get some minutes today.
What is the point in signing these players for 15/16 games and they don’t get game time especially someone like the tank.
I get that argument, and even said it myself. But you would think we will need him against Boro, seems a bit of a risk to go into the Boro match with him playing 0 minutes when you had ideal opportunity v OxfordI'd imagine it's because he's a midfield enforcer and we controlled midfield yesterday without him.

Oggy's after match observations no goals from a set piece in ten games, where have the coaches gone,so Bobby 's performances are and sending off was born of frustration then, along with half the squad?
Very true and so many set piece kicks haven't even got past the first man.Deliveries have gone to shit.

Torp is a bit of a shadow of himself, as is Jack Rudoni.
These were both players who were making things happen and scoring too, earlier on
Thought I'd have a look at the match compared with the Hull first game of the season. There were some pretty OTT reactions after that and we all know what happened from there. I don't know why I post on match threads at the time of the match, it's too raw.

I think Eccles is probably the one player playing at a pretty consistent level in midfield.Is any outfield player playing at their peak? For me at that point you’ve got to look at the staff ahead of any particular player. What are the coaches doing?

Yeah Torp and Rudoni seemed to be flying under Lampard. Thought his experience and talent as a player gave them huge confidence from his coaching. Weird it seems to have disappeared.Very true and so many set piece kicks haven't even got past the first man.

The biggest one was THEIR player not getting a second yellowCan’t actually disagree with this much. We were given loads.

You always know it's gone to shit when people start saying Eccles is looking like our best player. Last time I remember that being said regularly was Robins last few months in chargeI think Eccles is probably the one player playing at a pretty consistent level in midfield.
Torp, Rudoni and Grimes have all looked poorer for a while now.
Should have had two more sent off, one for the blatant second yellow on Wright and another for kicking the ball away (can't remember the player but he was on yellow) laughably the ref gave a yellow card to someone else a few minutes later for the exact same thing.The biggest one was THEIR player not getting a second yellow
Scandalous really.
Thats what is so painful, that we've fallen so far, so soon. We didn't even get to see the whole of the moon.

Yep-you know it’s bad when that rears its ugly head. To be fair to Eccles he was one of the only ones to come out with any credit against QPR but the game just passed him by yesterday.You always know it's gone to shit when people start saying Eccles is looking like our best player.

Thought he was good first half. But then disappeared in the 2nd.Yep-you know it’s bad when that rears its ugly head. To be fair to Eccles he was one of the only ones to come out with any credit against QPR but the game just passed him by yesterday.
Nah he was astounded I think!By the light
Can never last 90 minutes aswell which for a professional athelete is somewhat strange. Be interesting to see if anyone can come up with the last time he completed 90 mins.Thought he was good first half. But then disappeared in the 2nd.
Our opposition don't need goalies.I just noticed that the goalies are allowed to use their hands
Our biggest aerial threat in opposition box is Bobby Thomas. His defensive frailty would not of been exposed against Oxford.
He should of played yesterday alongside Kitch.
The time to change the pairing wasn't yesterday. Maybe Boro or the nxt away match , not yesterday.
Bobby’s not in form, but I’d have kept him in with Woolfy although both CBs were fine yesterday.
We dominated yesterday and Rushy had nothing to do but we knew that would be the case, home to 2nd bottom Oxford. I was bored watching that yesterday. Too slow in our passing and cautious. I can sense the fear in the players about going behind now or losing games, purely from the pressure and expectations around us. We have blown a 13 point lead and now struggling for form and confidence.
Im not suprised Onyeka didn’t play yesterday as we don’t need that type of player at home to Oxford. Subs were late yesterday too.
I know we can turn things and get over the line but all I’m seeing is caution, safe football and fragility. If we had gone 0-1 down yesterday we’d have lost but 2 months ago, we’d have come back and won.
If he had given it to mve to cross in he would have gone back to rushworth.I thought Woolfenden was pretty good yesterday. The main issue i had was there were quite a few times when he had the ball to cross into the box where ideally you'd want him IN the box. That's where Thomas would have been.
Had no issue with Kitchin being dropped yesterday, but I would still have started Thomas.
One of the most infuriating things yesterday. The ball would be cleared to our man, usually MVE because he'd been told to be there, who seemed unable to produce a reverse pass to either wing to quickly keep the pressure on. The pass back meant Oxford had time to reset.If he had given it to mve to cross in he would have gone back to rushworth.
Not taking this from a fan of a team that is happy playing as little football as possible. Football games are actually horrid to watch these days, just away teams ensuring the ball is in for as little amount of time as possible.Can’t actually disagree with this much. We were given loads.
What were we given the we shouldn't have been?Can’t actually disagree with this much. We were given loads.
What were we given the we shouldn't have been?
Unless people were watching a different game where Oxford weren't fouling and kicking the ball away and then time wasting.
Which ones? Weren't they given any?There was plenty of soft and laughable free kicks we were given.
I knowI'm panicking. Open your eyes. We've been absolutely shite for months.
