14' Forde sends in a free kick that Moore controls. There are appeals for a pen as he goes down but in the end it's United's first corner. #CAFC 0-0 #OUFC

What on earth happened there? Freekick comes in and there's all sorts of shenanigans in the area, and the ref gives a corner

Smyth please stop giving the ball away and putting us under pressure!

He has nobody to pass to

In summary then, nothing much has happened, Oxford look ok, we look ok, they’ve had a bit more of it; Oxford just got a dubious free kick on edge area.

Nothing dubious.

There bloke literally was about 5 yards away from Famewo there and fell over and there whole team shouted for a pen! 

Redvalleyeast

Come on Charlton,wake up

Alwaysneil

We are trying to play nicely out the back but most of the passes are going straight to Oxford. More accuracy required

This formation works with Doughty relieving pressure.

Think he’s such an important part of this team and Smyth obviously isn’t the same level of talent.

Dazzler21

Gunter great tackle to break forward.

Comes to nothing of course.

ForeverAddickted

Washington had to do better then!! 

FishCostaFortune

Completely losing in the midfield at the moment here.

Smyth the only player really doing anything even if its not always coming off.

15'

Post update

Attempt blocked. Sam Long (Oxford United) right footed shot from the left side of the box is blocked. Assisted by Anthony Forde with a cross.

Leuth

Smyth does the first good thing with the ball anyone has managed

18' Great turn on the ball from Smyth before sending an excellent through-ball behind the Oxford defence for Washington to run onto, but his cross is snuffed out. Watch live: http://live.cafc.co.uk #cafc 0 #oufc 0

Great work from Smyth to win the ball back and send the ball up front. Shame the cross was blocked.

Alwaysneil

Oh ffs Shinnie goes through and pulls back straight to the Oxford defender when if he’d taken two more strides it would have been clean through.

Alwaysneil

Think it was Shinnie.

Sometimes I think Bowyer doesn't want the ball in midfield and would rather break quickly from wide positions. But it's so turgid to watch

CH4RLTON

seems to be a theme us starting slow just lately.

Mug of a referee doing his best to ruin what might've been a good game

18' Terrific ball by Clare down the line for Henry but his cross is cut out by Amos. #CAFC 0-0 #OUFC

Leuth

As I said, Pratley isn't so much the problem tonight - he's getting involved at least. Watson is, on this evidence, a complete fraud

CAFCsayer

Oxford look good, but will be fucked after 60 mins. Fancy us 1-0

aliwibble

Head tennis in midfield, and eventually we get a throw on the left near the halfway line.

Bows does always go on about how we like to 'move the ball' and 'play football' - but I do rarely see that from us.

We are a team who like to sit back and counter and we can do that well when we get the space.

Which two have you got?

aliwibble

Bogle gets flattened (perhaps he should have jumped for the ball) but we get nothing.

cafcnick1992

Famewo all over the pitch at the moment
