Definitely looked open in midfield
Definitely looked open in midfieldHe put in some solid tackles but I don’t disagree with the view that Torp and Eccles struggled when pressed and I’ve felt all 3 games we’ve been open in midfield and defence.
That may be a tactical issue(s) that needs to be tweaked but I suspect that Sheaf will shore things up.
Torp plays him onJust looked at the highlights and even the commentator says Harris might be offside for their second, if Haji can be offside for a toenail, surely Harris's knob was also offside. hahah
Very poor? Yet came back twice and you won at the death.Yes they were very poor - high energy but very fallable - and as the season wears on they will struggle badly
They can pick holes wherever, fact is they were lucky to still be in touching distance, we had so many chances, if we scored 5/6 wouldn’t have been unfair.Oxford fans on their forum seem to think the ref favoured us and that he was shit. They’re still fuming over 7 minutes of added time. I really don’t get it.

Thought at the time the first swing was a full on punchNever seen this but he's a lucky boy
first a swinging punch from behind then an elbow??? WTF was that lino doing all night, he was shitNever seen this but he's a lucky boy
Saw it at the time, he was getting very frustrated that MvE absolutely pocketed him & lashed out. It's incredible that no action was taken when it was in clear view of the officials. Really should face a retrospective ban as the evidence is clear but won't hold my breath.Never seen this but he's a lucky boy
Let’s call it what it is, two league games, two shite sets of officials. Again.Saw it at the time, he was getting very frustrated that MvE absolutely pocketed him & lashed out.

Who’s on the Oxford forum twerking for them?
‘southern sky blue’ you’re a loser mate and as you aren’t from Coventry, you might as well support Oxford

yep, absolutely fucking useless all nightIs that the same one who flagged for the Simms shoulder barge and the Ruskin no contact foul?
ridiculous, he was giving them everything all night!!! Coote is supposed to be a Prem ref, but he was worse than some of the dross we have in this leagueOxford fans were moaning about the ref last night
All competitions or in the league?
On the defensive frailties stuff; who are we actually talking about here?
The first goal was a soft free kick, which Simms then failed to clear.
The second came from a poor Torp pass in their third, and their player was allowed to run the length of the pitch and they subsequently got a lucky finish. You could argue Bidwell was positionally poor perhaps.
But Lati/Binks were absolutely solid and worked well together.
In my view the gap is in the midfield. The second goal doesn’t happen if Sheaf is on the pitch and/or we finally sign a 6 who will dictate play/sit deep and provide coverage for the defence.
Yep definitely played him on.Torp plays him on
He was also a mardy twat kicking the ball away earlier in the game. Ref let both go unpunished.Never seen this but he's a lucky boy
Have a read of their forum and they are all complaining saying the ref was a homer and gave them nothing as well as playing 7 minutes extra time so we could scoreRef was so biased against us last night. How any Oxford fan can say different is beyond me. I have it 2-0 to the refs in the league so far this season, hopefully we get one with us next game.
VodkaFootball is a funny old game. Had we not gave them two vodka and we won 3-0 everyone would be saying we are going up. We played them off the park and gifted them their goals.
Binks failed to win the header in the first place for their first and both CBs were ball watching after Simms’ poor touch. That was a collective failure. Including Torp’s poor header - entirely preventable.On the defensive frailties stuff; who are we actually talking about here?

We weren’t dreadful, in the second half we were the better team that couldn’t fashion a clear cut chance. Missing Sheaf and Wright was a big factor imo.The real question is, why and how were we so dreadful against Stoke? Robins needs to figure out how we're going to play away from home.
God knows what happened there!Vodka
Just listened to the goals on CWR, Gurney commentating, no Clive, maybe away or doing cricket
