it would have been too easy for us to comfortably win wouldn't it
And Robbo, for all his enthusiasm and good qualities, is always likely to get tactically out thought as was the case tonight.Better team won. Burton well and truly came and did a job on us, they looked like scoring every time they came forward.
Taylor was isolated, only looked dangerous on the break. I think the 4-3-3 we played on Saturday suits us better than the 4-2-3-1 tonight.
Makes Saturday's defeat even harder to take. You need to win when you play well as it won't always happen (tonight).

Sorry but Rob Hall is finished. Cant carry him all season. He is miles off pace and shocking on the ball, every time he is introduced. Cant afford sentiment in a sport like this.
I was there. Supporting my team Oxford before a wise acre pipes up) we were absolute complete and utter chod.You must love these nights!
It happens, we support our team and move on, it's called passion..
We lose tonight ....... forum in melt down ..... only pacified by 16 game unbeaten run ..... followed by Robbo out chants when it comes to an end. Or something like that.
Relying on this forum for updates etc - in Bibione, Italy at present.
Actually, we may well win tonight as the chap who has borrowed my ST has an excellent record when attending!

Whats harsh is a fully fit Sykes being out of the squad, while we continue to donate minutes to Hall when he is CLEARLY miles away from being good enough. This is a results business and he isnt doing a single thing to improve our chances on the pitch. He has been shocking, every game he has featured in. We are not a charity. If I dont perform at work, I will be fucked off, rapid. The same SHOULD apply here...I think that might be a bit extreme/harsh, however I do agree that he shouldn't be in the match day squad currently. He would have been better served playing for the U23's today and getting 90 minutes under his belt. Criminal that Sykes (Northern Ireland international) has been omitted for the squad.
cant get too down its a long season there are green shoots
Sykes has been excellent whenever selected, if I was him I would be peed off especially with Thorne also presumably ahead of him.Whats harsh is a fully fit Sykes being out of the squad, while we continue to donate minutes to Hall when he is CLEARLY miles away from being good enough.
