    Asimmwe, Anderson, Deji even Ness should all be learning the game at L2/Conference level - they are out of their depth here individually and even worse collectively

    Need to get karoy off before half time 
    Maybe at half time  so not to embarrass the lad.

    But good heavens, this match shows he's not ready to play week in, week out.
    Fuck embarrassing him, he's not been good enough and may cost us another goal. Is prancing about like he's the bollocks. 
    I think that’s a misread. I don’t think he’s feels like he’s the bollocks right now and that’s the point

    Not digging out any individual but there are too many players in our team that aren't up to the task of getting clean sheets and scoring goals. 

    Their press is evident on every pass we are making, whereas they seem to have too much time to pick a pass. Why is that?

    Why is Hector on the bench, fuckin odd.  The average age out there we clearly need some direction and leadership.  
    Because he isn’t as good as some think he is.
    I hear you but we’ve kids across the back five and we still can’t defend.  
    Not aimed at you. We kept Hector and Thomas instead of replacing them as we should have and then find ourselves questioning their ability a few games in.

    Add Kanu to that. Anyone who thought his 2 goals meant he could lead our front line must have their head in the clouds

    FFS that should have been 2-0

    Amazing tackle and long ball from Dobbo to May. Route one straight down the middle 30 yards almost finds May, but just runs to their keeper.

    Our academy graduates are having a nightmare today. Blackett Taylor is not interested. We’re playing with 6 outfield players. Awful performance so far

    Oxford just wasted a massive opening. Completely carved Charlton open and had three in on goal, Goodrham tried a fancy flick into the centre when a simple pass would have led to a tap in. Charlton clear but that was too easy. 38'

    They could be 4 up.
    IMHO we must go to a back 4 while we're only 1 adrift.

    If Holden doesn’t put Edun at LWB after that then he really is clueless.

    I reckon Holden is making a point to the owners with the selection and set up for this game.

    If they sack him, will any decent manager join us in this state ?

    Change all the defence and they're still shit. I honestly don't think we have good enough players and coaching to play 3 at the back with a high press, because they don't press high enough and the wingbacks are too far forward, so when a team wins the ball and drive forwards, more often than not it's 3 v 3

    All the academy lads look well out of the depth today unfortunately. Relying on them to this extent is crisis club behaviour 
    Except in the case of all bar Asiimwe, there are more experienced pros on the bench! And we felt it fine to let Egbo go before we had a replacement. It doesn't have to be like this, this is a choice from Holden.

    And that, while it's about more than just taking part, they really need to involve themselves...

    Said last season, there isn’t a philosophy to Holden wants his teams to play, compared to the likes of McKenna, Manning or Schumacher, and it continues this season
