May 18, 20242 yr Out fought and out thought. That was awful. They worked out that if they stop Sheehan and Maghoma getting the ball then they stop us.
May 18, 20242 yr I agree Santos and Toal fucking about but absolutely no movement at all. They just sit deep and mark our men and know the spaces we looking to create. They don't give a fuck about us have the ball at the back. Yet again another manager with an ounce of tactical nous makes Evatt look a fool. Edited May 18, 20242 yr by JimmyRiddle

Absolutely pathetic It’s just good tactics from Oxford blocking the passes to midfield and forcing them to hoof it long where their big defenders are waiting to clear up. Toal and Santos have nothing on. If we push more men forward Oxfords wide men will have a field day on the break. Have to stop Branagan and Rodriguez dominating midfield

May 18, 20242 yr The midfield specifically Maghoma and Sheehan has been a disgrace that first half, Oxford simply wanted it more than they did. And the 3 centre backs passing it about amongst themselves is exactly what Oxford want them to do.
May 18, 20242 yr Sheehan is doing nothing. Standing 5 yards behind Harris to effectively mark himself out of the game . Having said that Santos worst game Ive seen. Maghoma looking like the only one with any urgency. Tomo losing his cool , Cogley, Charles and collins not had a pass .
May 18, 20242 yr So predictable big game bottled in fair play to Oxford like a lot of teams they have worked us out !

That little cunt Brannagan is niggling and up to the usual shithousery and it looks like we are just going to take it all day without offering any sort of resistance. Hoping for a minor miracle which we have performed before. I never agree with Bolty but I do now. Praying for the miracle but expecting years of Evatt to change it in 15 minutes is too much I fear.

May 18, 20242 yr Just now, wakey said: Fat lass is gargling but it int over yet. Due a big half. Hope it's enough. Seriously? You’d back this bunch to come back against a very disciplined Oxford? I hope you’re right but doubt it. I can see us conceding more yet than getting them back. They just look lost, not a clue.

May 18, 20242 yr It won't happen but the game is lost as it is may as well take off Santos for Jerome and go 433, just go long to Jerome and hope for chaos. At least it would feel like we tried.
May 18, 20242 yr If the midfield ain't showing we can't pop it off to our wing backs who are our outlets 😐
