All to play for.....just do the business.

So bad defending and bad refereeing? Does that about sum it up? Couldn't make the match unfortunately but keeping an eye on the score and Sky Sports News

 

[Osleroad]

merde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve K very critical of our CBs.

That's all well and good but fear for us when I hear he's on as he seems to jinx it...come and coach the CB's better

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

it certainly isn't just the ref - we have no f...ing backbone

 

[Fourthstand]

Had to follow the first half using goal alerts. What the hell is happening?

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Have we gone out with the exact same tactics as tuesday or something?

 

[southcoastyellow]

Any idea how bad Taylor injury looked?

 

[Common Villager]

If we played our own game we'd beat these easily. They are very long ball, and direct, and we're getting sucked into playing the same way.

The first goal was a great volley from long distance but we had 3/4 opportunities to clear properly and didn't.

The second we failed to stop the cross and then Moore was beaten in the air to a ball he should've comfortably won. Bit concerning to be honest.

Overall we've been disappointing. Hopefully we can string a few more passes together in the second half and create some more chances.

 

[Common Villager]

Looked like a groin injury. He was trying to stretch it out for a few minutes but soon realised he had to go off.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Getting the basics wrong again in defence. Moore is tall, didn’t jump. Extremely disappointing against an unfancied Rovers team.
Never mind we have enough in the tank to go and win this, really believe.

we are simply being bullied out of it

Yeah, I think starting him was a mistake. Turned the match into a circus that gives them and their fans much more incentive than us.

Ipswich 2 up at Bolton

Nathan Cooper just echoed the sentiment on Rad Ox

 

[battman]

If we lose here, that'll be 4 points from 5 games. I'm sorry but that's relegation form. For all the optimism, we've become used to being in the bottom half of the table under KR.

Now come on Oxford turn this around

 

[Gary Baldi]

It sounds like the full backs haven't in the game so far, something we really thrive on in this system.
