    Not been paying proper attention, genuinely thought we had had someone sent off. We look miles off the pace and Oxford are pissing all over us without breaking sweat. We look absolutely shambolic at the back. Overrun in midfield and nothing upfront.

    C Campbell on for Deji...

    Weird, was Deji injured?

    is that a tactical switch in the 41st minute?

    IMHO we must go to a back 4 while we're only 1 adrift.

    Holden agrees it seems. Good move.

    40 mins in, however I'm off to bed. Not ruining a nights sleep on this shower of shit.

    Charlton sub. Chem Campbell is on for Deji Elerewe. Change in shape. CBT is currently at left-back. 41'

    Making a sub right before half time? Hmm, puzzling to say the least.

    Surely you'd put Edun @ Left-Back?

    It’s ok having the odd kid or two in the side but when you start with five in the team it’s a recipe for trouble.

    Holden needs to change our shape, and fast 
    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 ?
    If he is doing that, he deserves to be sacked. I think a lot of coaches would look at this squad and think "two or three back fit and I REALLY fancy it."

    I think we can do better than Holden, I don't think he can do better than us at the moment.

    Not wonderful for a 19 year olds confidence either I would imagine…

    I feel like you've got to question a manager that thinks 352 is the way forward when our clear weakness is our CBs and lack of wingbacks.

    What formation are we playing now?

    Comes back from suspension, straight into the side and then hooked before half-time. 

    Manager doesn't have a clue.

    Deji off and we seem to have gone 4-1-4-1 with Campbell in central midfield. Edun back to LB.

    Change of shape already squeezing their space.
    We can get a point out of this game yet.

    One of the worst performances I've ever seen by Anderson and he's taken off deji?

    Sad to say, but hold onto a 1-0 and try and regroup second half...'bout the best we can hope for, but we are so out of it at the mo it is beyond embarrassment...

    Tactically inept, both the manager and the players implementing his system

    Fuck we're awful. And we've just brought winger/attacker Chem Campbell on to play central midfield with Taylor and Payne on the bench. Kanu is on the right.

    He is. It's not CBT.

    I'm not actually sure if this is 4-3-3. Possibly. Campbell seems to be behind May but Kanu and CBT are dropping a bit deeper as well. No idea. 44'

    Oxford now have the entire half-time break to adapt to our change in shape. 

    It's genuinely stupid not to wait until half-time for that kind of change.
