At this point the defence is probably a bigger priority than midfield if we’re to have a chance of being in contention.

that doesn’t paint a picture of lucky

“frustrating” and “sloppy in defence” fair enough, but not lucky.

We weren’t lucky, we deserved to win

I thought we were sloppy defensively, at times we were good going forward

It’ll be the most one-sided game we’ve seen for ages, it would’ve been criminal if they took a point home. Oxford are shit and will go down.

Work to do at the back. Torp again weak link.

Was Torp bad? Eccles wasn't up to much tonight tbh.

Well they did, they scored both of them! But yeah, a lot of luck involved. Notably the linesman in the first half as well.

I think when we beat Peterborough and I think Vic scored a hatrick and we won 3-0, Peterborough looked better than Oxford did in that game. They got relegated.

Vik scored twice in that one. The difference there was we were a lot more solid at the back.

Fuck me we got lucky there, that lad doesn’t pass that ball back and we’re coming away with just a point after totally dominating them. Wright should have had 6/7 on his own.

I think we were generally pretty unlucky in that game but each to his own!

Great performance generally, just got to stop the soft goals. MVE was brilliant and Wright was a Ballache for them all game. Simms quiet tbf but happy with that. Just need to sure up at the back.

The goal was lucky you can say crap defending and torp tackle was poor and Bidwells marking non existent but it was bloody lucky
Click to expand...
Tbf it looks like something they have been coached to do, stay nice and compact and defend the centre of the goal. Lati, Binks and Bidwell were all in a perfect line.

It's a concern we got hit out numbered on the counter attack.

We’re only a few games into the season and it’s his first time playing in this league. I’m sure he’ll come good but he’ll take time to adjust.

Great first win. How the hell Oxford scored two I’ll never know. Battered from start to finish. Justice served in the end. We need to get better at the back. But Oxford showed us what bottom three standard looks like

He should probably just go back to Thomas and Kitching who were very good for a period last season and see what they can do.

The goal itself absolutely. No doubt. But thoroughly deserved as well
Click to expand...

their two goals were lucky - one an unfortunate deflection off Simms’ shin, and the other bounced in off the guy’s knee after, admittedly, some good play to get the ball in the box

It would really help to at least stop tinkering around at the back while also trying to bed in a new keeper. Who so far has been hung out to dry for all 3 goals conceded.

Yes, and give them a few games to get up to speed before he starts swinging the axe.

Encouraging: Haji and Ellis have both got off the mark, so they may have hit the ground running
Discouraging: We still have a leaky defense.

To those who say we didn't deserve the win, stats(bbc):-

Cov :- shots 26 on target 10 possession 64%
Oxf :- shots 7 on target 2 possession 36%

Stop whingeing, we are two games in!!!

Don't know what to make of that. Certainly won't be lacking entertainment this season. Goals for Wright is a great start for him. Delighted with win but nearly dropped 2 points against dog shite

Torp still looks like he thinks he has all the time in the world on the ball. Off the ball he has nothing.

Well deserved win and on the ball we looked fantastic. The only issue we had was off the ball, the spine looked weak. Got away with gifting two soft goals!

On we March!

Caught them all! After dominating play, it was shaping up to be a massively deflating draw. Then up steps Haji! All hail Haji!! Football at it's best.
