From the stand it looked like Kitching was watching the ball to head it and their player ran in to him so never a foul
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 was watching the ball and their player ran in to him never a foul

Disappointing not to win but that's as far as it goes for me. A point away is always a decent thing! A lack of subs again from lampard really annoys me when we could see it need a few to swing momentum back in our favour!
3 minutes to goI'm even more baffled now I've had time to think about it. We got battered in the 2nd half and only bought Sakamoto on with 10 minutes to go. I just don't get it

He didnt get much support from BTA. And i alluded to that in my forst post. Hes not been great this season but that's probably not helped by no support. I expect him to improve once Saka is back fully fit. But we can't rely on Saka, who is as injury prone as Jack Wheelchair, to make our RB better. Hes not always gonna have Saka there to hold his hand. And, if and when he has an off game, why is his replacement/cover still sat on the bench not getting a look in?It sounded like he got little support from BTA from the cwr commentary
Kitching made the foul on the edge for the second.. both silly fouls , both avoidable goalsThomas' stupid body check leading to the free-kick for their first goal gets under my skin. Not paying attention to Brannagan moving the ball for their second also irritating.
Lampard just said so.All I can think is that Sakamoto / Sheaf not yet 100%. Just okay enough to make bench.
Lampard must know a better defensive coach- was surprised when MR got his cards that Aled Williams stayed in post
4 mins. He came on in the 86mins. Taking away stoppage time (can't remember how much was added) he only had 4 mins, not 10!I'm even more baffled now I've had time to think about it. We got battered in the 2nd half and only bought Sakamoto on with 10 minutes to go. I just don't get it
We had other subsAll I can think is that Sakamoto / Sheaf not yet 100%. Just okay enough to make bench.
Why have him on the bench then? Not expecting him to play the whole game or even 45, but if you're not fit enough to play more than 6 mins there is really no point being on the benchHe said saka wasn't fit and let's be honest anyone with a brain could have assumed that was the reason. Stop moaning because we don't win every game
Even worse4 mins. He came on in the 86mins. Taking away stoppage time (can't remember how much was added) he only had 4 mins, not 10!

He's had plenty of time now to bring in somebody else if he'd wanted too...Lampard must know a better defensive coach- was surprised when MR got his cards that Aled Williams stayed in post
Cos he was capable of 5 mins and it nearly won us the game right?Why have him on the bench then?
I really hope we’re ready to go on a plan b or c as I can’t see us getting HughesIt's a vote of no confidence to those on the bench that they would offer no more than those knackered players on the pitch.
EMC, BTA, DaSilva should all have been hooked with 25 to go. MVE and Grimes probably 10 mins later.
Is that a ridged variety?Agreed my crispy friend.

Funny thing is there are people that give him stick for his goals and assists stats. I think he's a wonderful winger who ties defenders in knots. Haji really should be giving him an assist there.Cos he was capable of 5 mins and it nearly won us the game right?
They were crap in the Millwall game!It's a vote of no confidence to those on the bench that they would offer no more than those knackered players on the pitch.
Yeah the same defence got top 6 last season but we’re averaging 1.5 goals conceded per game with our first choice defence. The window is closing, we need an answer.
But you said MVE has been poor all season. I’m not sure why you’re tying yourself in knots. And for the record, from what we’ve seen from KKH so far I.e Milwall midweek, I’m not convinced.But MVE was poor today. Whether KKH was on the bench or not, MVE had a poor game. He wasn't the only one, but when KKH is on the bench, why not use him. Thats why he, specifically is my target. Wright for Simms isnt like for like, its a downgrade. Torp for an unfit Sheaf isnt like for like, it would make us more defensive when we need a goal. Kitching for Bidwell is a downgrade.
The only position that we could use a sub and improve today was at RB, yet we didnt. KKH may of come on and added nothing, but in terms of like for like on the bench, he's the only one. And if were not going to use that, then why waste the £4m in the forst place? That couldve been used better elsewhere and bring in a Brau type player to sit on the bench at RB.
As many arguments have been made over the last few weeks, its a squad game. Yet our best/most ready squad player is sitting on the bench watching.

Whole team was knackered and FL didn’t make any subs until a couple mins left. And that too only 1 sub. Should have made multiple subs and waste a bit of time when 2-1 up.I'm even more baffled now I've had time to think about it. We got battered in the 2nd half and only bought Sakamoto on with 10 minutes to go. I just don't get it
Correct. Oxford were good second halfDo you know what though, fair play to Oxford. Had a disrupted pre-season and came out that second half a different animal.
They knew they couldn’t match us for quality on the ball, so they just came out and fought. Second half they seemed like they won every second ball for about 20 minutes.
Im not tying myself in knots. He has been poor this season. First half v Derby if I was manager he'd have been hooked. He came up with 2 important assists though which immediately erases the shit first half from most people's memory. Today was poor, not the only one, but poor none the less. QPR ge aside, he's not been at his best this season.But you said MVE has been poor all season. I’m not sure why you’re tying yourself in knots. And for the record, from what we’ve seen from KKH so far I.e Milwall midweek, I’m not convinced.
