The old 'giving it large' story. He was a bit of a dick to be fair but it wasn't a one way streetWhy? What did he do?

Yep! It does look as if we have to rely on others to slip up. I didn't feel that we lacked fight today, we simply lack sufficient quality. Big time.Goading the Oxford fans, what a t**t. Would have loved it if we’d have got a 3rd!, but to be fair I’m surprised we got two.
Very concerned we’ll be relegated now, just don’t have the personnel and KR’s trying to play a system that not even the best players could play never mind our motley crew!
If we do get relegated we will be entering L2 in very bad shape.
Oldham next, which means lots of balls into our box and fighting for the second ball. Two things we are p*ss poor at dealing with.
I thought ifollow was a blessing but if I'm honest, its been horrible watching us this season, found myself just sat there being angry at the tv for pretty much every game, the neighbours must think i need some anger management therapy.
Since KR has taken over we have conceded 7 goals across 3 games.
1) Pompey, concede from a corner because we didn’t win the 2nd ball (standing like statues)
2) Scunny we concede from a cross-shot (backing off).
3) Today we concede from a FK (missed interception) and then 2 from backing off and not pushing up our defence.
From this it’s clear that our defenders and midfield aren’t engaging or pressing the opposition attackers. This is L1 not the Prem. If we engage and press their attackers they will make errors a’la Chey Dunkley who was terrific at this.
At present, we are standing still and dropping off and letting them cross and take pit shots which is easily fixable.
I think it’s partly a confidence thing that KR will hopefully deal with in the summer by signing more in the mould of Dickie who is the only defender doing this effectively.
I thought he had more to offer than Wes and he ran his legs off, not surprised Books came oF but Mehmeti substitution did make me think.How was Mehmeti? No good? Was surprised he started

Dickie had a poor game today and struggles with the ball at his feet, good in the air, but clueless on the deck and can not kick a ball in a certain direction.
In fact, all our f*****g players struggle to kick a ball. We struggle to cross the ball or put any distance on it. We struggle to beat the first man or put the ball beyond the opposing defence, thus making them turn. We seem to play the ball in front of the oppositions never making them turn.
And why the hell didn’t we shoot rather than trying to walk/pass the bloody ball into the net in the last minute? Bloody frustrating. For Christ sake, bloody shot. Looked what happened when Shrewsbury shot and Rothwell shot, we need to do more of this. Oh, and cross the bloody ball when we get the opportunity.
Certainly feels like Oldham will have a big say in who goes down as they are still to play in order
Oxford a
Walsall h
Gillingham h
Rochdale a
Wimbledon a
Southend h
Doncaster a
Northampton a
Talk about being in control of your own destiny !!
Many of the teams below us have games against each other which means they will trading points
At the end of the day it's up to us to do it for ourselves but we should but remember that Oldham are not the ones in the bottom 4
