Just seen their goal again. EMC and MVE should do better after Rushie made the save

Story of our season so far! Not clinical enough. Not scoring enough goals. Should have signed Emil Riis

We’ve just broken our record for most goals in four opening games haven’t we?

 

[Jamesimus]

PA and 5G working well. Get us sorted Doug.

Fucking hell, poor GIMOC getting fried to bits away at Oxford.

I believe its 8 goals in his last 14 or 15 games

No we’ve broken the Championship record.

 

[Nuskyblue]

We are relentless, slick passing in attack but what is more impressive is the work to win the ball back when we loose it. Torp has been very impressive, as has Rudi. It BTA had an ounce of composure we'd be out of sight.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Seems like we've got midfield and strikers on fire...just need to work on Defence and GK

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Torp has looked average so far.

Not bad for being average.

We're a good team technically. In games we don't get bullied we can take teams apart

Jds grimes torp rudoni emc especially have amazing control and/or close control dribbling

 

[Briles]

If Torp carries on he's surely getting an international call up

Anyone got a clip of the goal?

 

[Jamesimus]

Just seen the penalty, lovely stuff.

Fixed.

 

[shmmeee]

2/14 successful crosses. A bit more composure there an we’d be out of sight

Rushworth should have pushed it wide. He missed it and it came off his chest.

 

[Jimmy87]

Really good half of football. You can see how hard we've worked on being more direct over the summer, now we are reaping the rewards. This is something we were seriously lacking last year, our strikers suffered so it's so good to see them benefiting now.
So glad Lampard was brave enough to go with Grimes, Rudoni + Torp from the first game, it would have been easy to go with Sheaf but this is the reason you want Torp on the pitch, his shooting is above any other.
Rudoni is something else.

I mean tbf, we haven't been bullied in any games this season?

 

[DT-R]

Jack rudoni is basically Zinedine Zidane at this point

Just needs to start headbutting cunts!

More from the Oxford forum:

Coventry are playing some exquisite football, especially in our box. If there are teams that play better than them on a regular basis, I really don't want them to come to the Kassam this season....

Made the saved or spilled the ball?

 

[stupot07]

Decent half, we look dangerous going forward, but there is a vulnerability at the back.

 

[Levship20]

Cheers mate

 

[shmmeee]

Fixed.

If Rasmus Højlund can get a call up there is hope for all of us with Viking origins yet, not just Torp.

Hope he’s got an English nan. I’d sell him mine.

 

[Snaily]

Best quality of attacking football I’ve seen us play against a team in the same division as us.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I called it! Torpedo

No you said he was average.

 

[Esoterica]

If Torp carries on he's surely getting an international call up

He’s technically good enough, just a yard short of pace to make it to the very top I think.

 

[skybluecam]

Made the saved or spilled the ball?

Tbf did it not go straight through the wall?

He should’ve pushed it wide though, made the save with his chest I think.

Anyone know if that would that cost us anything in add ons?

GIMOC is no fool, always wears protection in hostile environments

No it went through the gap where Torp was blocking their player.

Bounced up just in front of him.
