    You’d imagine it’ll make recruitment even harder this week if we get a battering today
    According to those ITK, players have already agreed to sign for us  :)

    Makes you wonder if we have gone all in on developing young players to sell. Play em, develop em, shop em. Let's not worry about the league table...

    Don't like kids being treated in this manner. Hauled off at half time. It's unprofessional and out of order.
    I agree but hopefully they get their confidence back against Luton Under 11s or whoever we face in the Pizza Cup.

    Hector and T Campbell on for Ness and Kanu. We're now 4-2-3-1 I believe. Our third formation of the game. 
    If that is the third formation change then it just shows you that this management set up is unsure what works on the pitch and what doesn’t.

    Nurturing youngsters is more important to the future of our club than this match. This match is more important to the future of our manager than nurturing youngsters. The manager has control over substitutions so the outcome is what you’ve seen.

    With this ref, I reckon its fair to say Dobson isn't going to make the final whistle

    Dangerous moment as an Oxford free-kick is headed back across goal, ends up going behind for a corner

    We have been crying out for a LB/WB for 2 seasons. When we sign one we stick him in midfield. Unbelievable

    Come on. Holder’s read on CL about no plan B in the past. He’s got plans B to Z ready.

    Have we actually made first contact with a defensive corner or free kick all season?

    Surely if you've lost 3 on the trot with too many kids in the team you put out your most experienced 11 and try and grind out a draw or better.
    You just know what Curbs would do:  "Back to Basics" .....  "Stop the rot" ......."Grind out the result".  :)

    Without wishing to sound overly dramatic but the next five days might shine a light onto the next five years of our club. There’s obviously no real money and thus far the new ownership and SMT including Dean Holden have delivered absolutely nothing. 
    No dramatics needed Shooters but here goes...  To hope for anything other than what we have wound up with ownership wise, four fucking times now, baffles me.

    Saw this lot coming a mile off, the game does not work anymore, except to serve those looking for something for nothing, then moving on PDQ when the penny drops.  

    Broken, broken broken.  Including my heart because this football club means everything to me.

    Edun was playing Wing-Back first half, Left-Back now?

    He never should have started them. We all knew that, why didn't Holden?

    Nice turn of foot from Chem Campbell, pulls away from the Oxford midfield player and he has to take a yellow to bring Chem down

    God we need an experienced CH. We look so weak, they are tearing us spart
    I said it during the week: 

    We are lacking a physically strong spine throughout the middle of the team.
    We have no real physical presence and teams are able to play through us.

     THIS. 100%

    I posted same last week.

    More relevant is Scot Minto emphasised importance of  experience through spine of the team.
    (At Bromley Addicks).

    Having said all that, like Holden - I would have dropped Hector too.

    If I'm critical when we're bad, I should acknowledge when we're good, we've been much better this half.
