[Always Next Year]

Never seen a team so full of miss fits, talk about doing the simple things it’s an embarrassment

Fatawu has got to come off. He's truly been awful.

 

Would get Winks on for Skipp as well.

Soumare is on a yellow

Well you can blame the defending for allowing a free header from a corner 

 

 

 

fair enough… but I could just see the bandwagon of Soumare haters all piling their hate on him for that..

I wouldn’t start them but they both played well in the last game. Page is injured, James has one day training with us and who knows with Winks. The pairing was reasonable in the circumstances.

Its shit mate. Both players are shit. The shittest one cost us £25m and looks like he's 62 years old. Utter shit. Hasn't been a reasonable pairing since either moron joined the club.

 

I'd rather stick my dead gran in CM.

I’d start by insisting Marti changes into his suit and white trainers. That gilet is the modern equivalent of the Man Utd grey kit.

 

cant argue with that..

Like it, but would swap Fats for Daka because Daka is better at the press and Fats has been quite disappointing

[Swarles Barkley]

We will keep it at 2-1 then Carranza will score in last 5 mins

[Sunbury Fox]

Just when I was finally feeling more optimistic about things.....

That's the thing, I don't believe we are serious promotion contenders

Based on what, the amazing quality this league has? So many on here seem to underestimate how incredibly bad this league is whilst also going over board with how bad we are. We have one of the best squads in this league. It's not perfect and we could have done with a top striker but nobody has quality like Fatawu. Even our maligned players are good for this level. Nelson was one of Oxfords best players last season and can't even get on our bench 

[Jacob7839]

I hate to say it but daka actually might be helpful this game 

[em9999]

I blame the whole team its shit and needs to start taking collective responsibility for this 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Whilst we have been a long way off our best we were starting to control the game and getting on top just as Ramsey got sent off. Really hope we can regroup at half time and come up with a game plan to get back in this game. Personally I would make 5 changes and go for broke. 
 

Riccy P for Thomas 

JJ and Winks for Skipp and Soumare 

Monga for Mavididi 

Carranza for Ayew 

[StanSP]

The commentator said both feet were off the ground. 

 

Not the case. 

 

I think it's a red because of the recklessness of it. But it's not as bad as some make out, and other challenges have been worse but not received a red (not in this game, in general). 

I don't think it's worth appealing though.

We go against the mighty Oxford with two defensive midfielders

 

It's shameful 

And two DMs who are never in right place at the right time and struggle to make a tackle once they catch up. Soumare looks like he’s trying to remember if he turned the gas off and Skipp played football like my dog.

 

The one time Skipp ran forward with the ball he ran towards Soumare who stood still then stepped into his way. But let’s keep Winks out of the team. 

Okoli, Hamza, Soumare passing to each other is disgusting. 
 

Marti thinks the players look good in training but they are playing against each other.  Let them train against Braunstone under 18s and see how good they are.

We have the players, we lack the tactics and execution.

 

We unfortunately want toʻ play this pep crap..

 

We saw today what Mavs.and Fatuwu can do, however we play them against t a set block team.

We lost at Doncaster in 2013-14.  It happens.

True. Just frustrating when we lose to such poor sides.

[Hammo]

Manager, referee, new signing - all garbage. The other ten players not much better, Skipp and Soumare leading the way in nothingness.

Fatawu too concerned with nutmegging every player and forgotten how to play a pass

Feck this I’m off to the garden centre 

I rushed back from the garden centre to watch this which means I've seen a bunch of pansies twice

[JonnyZeroFox]

Can’t see us getting top six let alone an automatic spot. Just so poor, the midfield especially

Sheffield Wednesday we did enough to win, Birmingham has been the best performance this season, I thought we looked in control there. The level has massively dropped sure, a 2nd season in the championship wouldn't be a bad thing long term we'd make that year back in the next 3-4 years. 

I actually agree a 2nd season in the championship wouldn't be a bad thing from rebuilding a squad point of view (not sure if we can afford it financially though)

 

 

[Simonb]

Turned it off. Playing crap and the refs poor.

No need to make the challenge and it was a strong yellow but never a red! Refs absolutely done us there. Give a yellow and warning him one more foul and its a second 

 

Taking the blame though. Dont think weve ever won when ive put us on an acca, nor do I ever win an acca over multiple times. Shite start to the weekend
