Watching on record. Commentator - Oxford are a shadow of the team, they were last week. Being exposed down the flanks. Oxford really poor half. 2 shots of the line, one by an arm, if the Ref had seen it, he would have been off. One off the post & another one just wide before half time, marginal offside decision against them. Scunthorpe should be at least 2 goals up. Oxford look disorganised & dispirited. The Robinson effect. He can’t blame the referee.
Referee gives an undeserved penalty & Oxford are somehow level. You have to score when you have chances. Scunthorpe regretting missed chances in first half. A positive result for Oxford better for Charlton.
63 mins Scunthorpe shot off bar. Robinson riding his luck in this game.
Give him the best squad in the league and he'll get you up (not as champions and assuming you dont have an injury crisis). Give him an incomplete squad with lots of players still developing, factor in the off injury crisis or two and he will have you punching below your weight. Not necessarily his fault completely, there are mitigating circumstances, but he isn't the man to get the most out of that situation and to get the most out of their players.
He wasn't the problem (that man is in Belgium)but he wasn't the solution. He wasn't even capable of making the best of the situation.
Anyone know the formation they played, i noticed after his first game Robinson said this:
“I was happy with how we played, but there’s so much more to come.
“We’ve got to be more aggressive in the final third and we’ve got to put more crosses in, which is difficult in a diamond.
“We’re looking to maybe go back to a system I’m comfortable with and get some width in our play, but is it a 4-4-2, a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3?”
Please tell me he played 4231.
Prematch he said he would stick with a 442 but changed it mid half. Oxford players did look disorganised & confused first half & dispirited. Obika come on & Oxford pushed up second half & got a lucky penalty.
Robinson blamed the youth of the players not following instructions. Not his shit formations & over complications then.
Admitted Oxford were lucky with ref decisions but said these things balance out. Maybe not go on about ref decisions other times ?
Robinson said there was lots to change. Feeling sorry for Oxford supporters for the future crapness they will be forced to endure.
Scunthorpe looked vulnerable & less potent when pressed. They should have been minimum 2 to 3 goals up by half time. Not won in 9. The result will not help their confidence. If Charlton put a run together 5th is a distinct possibility.
Shows how much I've been following events lately. A quick fast forward whizz through last night's "Goal Rush" to see fatty Robinson sitting in the stand at Oxford match, then a further whizz to see who's running our circus and amazed to see us winning convincingly.
Never liked the bloke, so glad to see him gone before my exile is finally over....................

Football is a complicated game and I am simple - Karl Robinson

Its the Managers job to get the players playing as a unit rather than individuals and shows up Karl's ineptness!!
