I do think we will rue not challenging Sheff U for Tanganga to be honest.

Set pieces is becoming a "thing", isn't it? Also, normally I do not buy into management criticism, but question marks over Lampard today. Only one change and a really late one at that, strange

Lampard must know a better defensive coach- was surprised when MR got his cards that Aled Williams stayed in post

The defence were badly let down with cover from the wings today .. its easy to blame them but the manager has to adapt to the way the matches ebb and flow

Ok that's not the point though, I've been doing that. 'Forget promotion' is the usual over reactive nonsense.

Hes done it before. And he says in post match interviews "we were pressing, we could see a goal coming as we were creating chances" etc. And usually, the goal comes and digs him out of his hole. Today, it didnt, and he's got to explain that now from within his hole.

I think we’ve been found out. FL needs to bring on subs earlier 60-65 mins. Happy in the end to get a point . Very very lucky

First goal conceded: Stupid foul by Thomas. Wall had a hole and shot should not have gone through.

Second goal conceded: Stupid foul by Kitching. Wall set up poorly and allowed ball to get around it and beat goalie at the near-post.

Their player moved the ball by a foot or so....someone in the wall should have been paying attention to what was going on.

we need Oliver Dovin back asap Rushworth is crap

Thomas and Kitching aren’t good enough

Go all in on Hughes if we truly believe he’s the one, as otherwise we won’t do anything this season
Click to expand...
!00% agree with this - defecnding of a very poor standard from all of the back four dare I say? jay and Milan fine going forward but caught out in second half. And nothing else can be said about how poor we are defending set pieces - its been blindingly obvious from the start of the season. Need defecnders who can defend

We haven't been found out

We blew them away first half.

The concerning point is the manager doesn't know how to mix it up when we have pressure on us.

Disappointing second half. Sakamoto sub too late. Too many mistakes at the back leading to set pieces which we are hopeless at defending. Keeper still looks shaky. Wright should have won it at the end.
I am a bit pissed off with that to be honest

My feeing generally, although disappointing result for sure. We’re going to be properly tested after the international break and I’m not sure our defence will stand up to it.

Grimes faded after midweek. Clearly Sheaf not fit enough to come on. I doubt tats was fit enough for 30mins either.

BTA was decent today and sometimes people forget that it’s not necessarily that a different player is “better”, they are just different so the opposite defender has to instantly adapt his game.

Sakamoto instantly gave their fella on the left something different to defend against.

Everybody has a right to criticise and are not losing their shit. It's a game that we should have won easily but didn't due to tactical naivety..

Poor defending today tbh. Midfielders looked tired for what ever reason in the second half. Wright though should have won it tbf. I think Lampard could have won that game much earlier had he made changes on 65. Tats immediately causing havoc. What Lampard was thinking I don't understand. Most players were off their game second half and not because of Oxford. 2 points lost during a crucial start to the season. Rushworth? Well he's cost us in two games now. Think we do need this guy from Hull at the back.

It’s a lot of minutes for Grimes this early in the season.

People who have never exercised before in their lives, let alone past the age of 30 will struggle to understand of course.

“it’s only been five games, they’re professional footballers for god sake” blah blah blah.

Ultimately if we still haven’t got anyone on the bench we trust to help change our shape or get us back in the game then we’ve not done enough in the transfer market this summer. This has been an issue for three seasons now.

Then we move to Allen. Not saying he’s as good or the answer but you can’t allow players to be knacked, invites injury and pressure

Yes because Oxford are awful think it's down to FL this one we went 10 yards back second half and waited far to long to make any changes Hadji left in changing rooms at half time.

slight over reaction,we made enough chances to win 2 games, we know we still can’t defend set pieces so until we change it those games happen but I’ll take a point away
