Agreed on that, Rudoni had free license in attack and to be fair to him, was responsible for filling in defensively when Torp moved forward too. I don’t want to get too carried away, but the early signs to me is that he’s an upgrade on COH.Two observations from this
1) I still think it's a (flexible) 4-2-3-1 not a flat 4-3-3. Rudoni was higher up than Simms on average!
2) Look at the difference in the sides - we only had our two CDs with an average position in our half, and Oxford were so narrow and deep

Oxford are shit and will go down.
Blondie on Saka ooh,!!Thought the ref gave them everything TBH. Saw at least two blatant hand balls, Simms shoulder barge, and a couple of others.
got a link by chance?
Burgundy Cords is de rigour, and a of brogues,nah scratch that you're right,was thinking of that other sport!fuck them, they are probably called Jeremy and wear colourful chinos
Is that the same one who flagged for the Simms shoulder barge and the Ruskin no contact foul?

It’s the intent not whether the attempt to punch makes contactThought that our lad was lucky with those swings. If he connects properly or your lad goes down in front of a feral home crowd he’s probably walking. Your lad does us a favour by not being a “gamesman”.
The ref seemed to give us the rub of the green and a few soft ones in the opening 30 minutes. Second half it kind of felt like a reversal and more went your way.
regard adding the time our goalie held on for probably 3-4 seconds more than is reasonable on 3-4 occasions. It was still open play and that left another 6 mins 45 seconds to account for. I think if the shoe was on the other foot you may have asked the same question on this forum
the point the fans were making about you celebrating was that pre game the general predictions on here were that you should be beating teams like Oxford. Which you should if you have aspirations to go up. And you did. The fact we took you to the 96th minute means you were “limbs “ and thus probably celebrating far more than the walk in the park that was expected. It was a sign to our fans that we did better than expected. You didn’t celebrate like that after the 6th goal in the fa cup in january
interesting to read how you started to financially compete after opening season in the championship by flipping players for more value. Right now the budgets seem unfathomable and unmatchable to a small club like ours. We shall see how it goes.
On another day that score could have been dirty but I’ve seen enough to think we won’t finish 24th. Nobody expected a point from yesterday but there was optimism that we could compete and we nearly stole a point
Which is a given because MVE is a player who carries the ball. Bidwell will be further forward because we target him with diagonals and we generally want him hitting first time crosses.Bidwell further forward than mve
In the context of the rest of his post, I don't believe he meant that as an insulting connotation of the word.Feral? Go row a boat, you tweed wearing snoot.
Suspect he may have meant to type 'febrile'?In the context of the rest of his post, I don't believe he meant that as an insulting connotation of the word.
Spot on. He attempted to strike him (twice) which is violent conduct, red card & minimum 3 match ban.It’s the intent not whether the attempt to punch makes contact
it literally says in the laws striking or attempting to strike
it’s a clear red and the assistant must have seen them both
The assistant and ref saw it too they must haveSpot on. He attempted to strike him (twice) which is violent conduct, red card & minimum 3 match ban.
The fact that he missed because he's as good a boxer as he is a footballer matters not.

Hopefully just on holiday. He"s streets ahead of Gurney.Just listened to the goals on CWR, Gurney commentating, no Clive, maybe away or doing cricket

I disagree.
We needed to play well - which we did, at least when attacking - to beat them.
Please! Salmon Pink is the new Burgundy.Burgundy Cords is de rigour, and a of brogues,nah scratch that you're right,was thinking of that other sport!
The Cov player starts by trying to trip him with his left leg, then body checks him, shoving his arse into Placheta’s groin. What’s he expected to do when he’s trying to get in his shorts? Send him a bunch of flowers!Spot on. He attempted to strike him (twice) which is violent conduct, red card & minimum 3 match ban.

Some great games, but I worry my ticker won't cope with the excitement!And this!
Thought you got lucky with the ref's decisions on a number of occasions. The potential red cards (2, as there was at least 1 off the ball incident against our CH) but also the free kick, that resulted in your first equaliser was a joke decisionI completely agree.
what I’m saying is that the ref / assistant probably didn’t give it because he didn’t do what so many players do now and go down. It was very silly from our lad and we got lucky
The use of feral was both deliberate and a compliment. A feral crowd creates an intimidation that can sway a referee .
(Feral meaning “wild state” for the onbe poster above who decided to go down the insult route)

Not surprised. For the amount they must've paid the officials they must've been expecting a win.Oxford fans were moaning about the ref last night
Considering they missed a clear cut red card, they really can’t say anything…Not surprised. For the amount they must've paid the officials they must've been expecting a win.
It's a bit of a tussle. No different to what you see happening multiple times a game, they were competing for the ball. Not sure how you can defend it, he may be your player but ultimately would be you he let down if it had even so much as brushed the player - he'd have definitely walked. That happens and you'd have likely been on the end of a hammering.The Cov player starts by trying to trip him with his left leg, then body checks him, shoving his arse into Placheta’s groin.

That's a problem if no-one is covering. First 5-10 minutes Oxford were looking at 3 or 4 long cross field balls to attack space Bidwell leaves - teams have id'd him as a postional weakness.Bidwell further forward than mve
