    I have big concerns with our midfield 3, I think they are really average L1 players 
    I really thought we were padding out the squad when we went for Dobson and Clare. Nothing about their CVs screamed out league one promotion midfielder. 

    We can laugh at Ipswich all we want but we should have gone all out for players of the likes of Fraser, Harper etc.
    To be fair Scott Fraser doesnt exactly scream top League One player either based on his previous experiences - We saw one game, how did he do for the rest?

    Not to mention he hasn't played higher than this level in England with three average mid-table finishes...

    This referee has given some strange decisions today. Usual league one stuff.

    Albie îs very good technically, he just lacks maturity and decision making, sometimes that comes, sometimes it doesn't, that's what makes the difference between a Championship/league 1 player or upper non league. He's somewhere in-between currently.

    My concern is our lack of goals, 2.5 games and we've not scored from open play, only a penalty. Don't entirely blame the strikers as they can only feed off what's provided most of the time, but like for the last few years we lack decent creativity or forward drive. Bring back Pratley!  :D

    Why is it only one of Jaiyesimi or Washington each game look really up for attacking? 

    At least when Washington doesn't get much attacking play he puts effort in defensively.

    Just to stick it in there, but all the comments about Albie being so involved and seeing a lot of the ball in our good play etc. Like he's a one man show, but, isn't that the point though? Like, thats his positions remit?

    He's supposed to be our 10 and main creative force of course he's gonna be involved in it, doesn't mean he's any good at it though.

    And before I get hung by the CL positivity inquisition, I like the lad and think he'll come good, but saying "he's getting involved" like it's something magical when it's his one job.. ya, I dunno.

    It's the whole teams job to yet involved. I agree though in his role it is more important and he's done that. As I said creative players make the majority of their mistakes in the final third.

    People writing off Dobson and Clare after 135 mins of league football where we just boot it over their heads.

    Already much better from Albie this half. Good passes, decent corner and a shot on target.

    56' Stockley lays off for Morgan on the volley on the edge of the box. He hits it well, but Stevens gets right behind it in the Oxford goal. #oufc 2 #cafc 1

    It's the whole teams job to yet involved.

    Of course, but like with the Washington/ DJ comment you just said about why only one seems to be attacking, maybe thsts down to coaching instructions,  "wash be more advanced, weaker down that side, DJ hold more for balance" "give the ball to Morgan to make things happen" etc? 

    Much like a winger, Morgan will blow hot and cold as a creative player, he's still had a pretty stop start career so far, measured opinions an 'all. 

    Think he'll look s lot better when Gilbey is back and we can manage his game time more personally.

    Sounds like we need to learn how to fall over in front of the ref, Oxford getting very good at it, why does the ref get fooled so many times
