    How many times has Holden tried to go 3 at the back just for us to be shit and him to have to change it up quickly now.
    We've had this problem for a while now where no formation properly suits us. Feel like I hate every formation we play.

    Shocking. There’s a massive gulf in the sides.

    Carry on that way. Oxford will get 3, possibly 4. We’ll be lucky to get a shot on target, let alone a goal.

    We can’t pass it out but we can’t go long as we’ll never win anything. Need a big improvement second half to get anything from this.

    Trying to decide if it's worth hitting the booze now.

    I'm in a bit of a quandary.

    It could either help me "appreciate" the football or....

    Jones looking woeful. Kicking a line ball straight into touch when 2 players ahead. 
    He's been switched to LCB after playing all of pre season and league matches to this point. 

    Deji on the right (his more natural side) after playing LCB in pre season.

    It's all just baffling.

    We are in massive massive trouble this season.

    If I read moans of ‘we are only gonna be mid table’……… I would snap someone’s hand off for that right now.

    Well at least we can’t play this badly again in the second half. 

    Ha ha, I’m joking. Of course we can. 
    Convinced we're going to turn it around.

    Apparently Oxford should be 3 or 4 up. When that is us we usually lose. So now its our chance to turn it around.

    At the match, it is so poor from us. Had real hope for this season. 
    We are being given a lesson in basic football tactics and technique.
    We are miles off of it.!!!

    Bronwy: I would definitely grab people by the scruff of the neck.

    Curbs: if it doesn't change, we'll definately be on the end of a beating.

    Bizarre how disorganised we look seeing as one of the semi positive parts of Holden last season was he came in and seemed to imbed a structure.

    Get the kids off, the senior pros on and expect them to show some desire and earn their effin wages

    Istead
    Jones - Hector - Thomas - Edun
    CBT - Dobson - Taylor - Payne
    May - Campbell

    Something like that

    Are we actually calling out shape and Holden tactics?  Do you think it might be underfunding, bad use of what little funding we’ve had and a shit load of injuries?  I do, we could have Pep we’d still be shite.

    Noone wins anything with a team of youngsters

    as someone else said we should have brought in seasoned experienced proven players mixed in with 2/3 youngsters
    not the other way

    they should mostly all be out on loan learning and improving 

    SHAMBLES !!!!

    Harsh on the 4 youngsters if he goes in their at half time throwing the tea cups about.
    They shouldn't have been playing in the first place.

    This whole set up is a shit show.

    Holden is out of his depth. Awful starting lineup. We’re going from bad to worse. Players will be losing confidence. This is a mess.

    Holden plays 4-3-3 and does well last season. 

    Decides, without any wing-backs, to commit to 3-5-2 this season. Absolutely braindead decision and getting found out every game.

    This is so bad it is hard to believe what we are watching.

    At least Holden has had the sense to take @PeanutsMolloy advice and go to a back 4. About time - what on earth is Edun doing playing in midfield.

    Poor Korey Anderson. The lad is so poor I feel sorry for him. Take him off at half time, please.

    We surely can't be so bad in the second half. Can we ?

    They look far better than average but that’s probably us that’s making them look like that .

    If we don’t have an incredible change in the second half, Holden should be removed tonight. 

    A whole week to train and get your point across and this is what we produce. Shambles.

    Making a sub right before half time? Hmm, puzzling to say the least. 
    Not wonderful for a 19 year olds confidence either I would imagine…
    Yeah, but the lad isn't being hooked early because he's having a mare, it's a tactical change.
