a loss at a good oxford team is a good result?
never win at oxford so thats ok?

Not dreadful but not good either. It had got considerably worse following Edmundson's injury last March.
Something isn't right? That would be this manager's lack of ability to rectify things. All three Donacien, Woolfenden and Burgess have been poor/complacent for a while. Would drop 2 of these 3 for the Morecambe game. |
We conceded seven goals in nine matches after Edmundson got injured, and only two goals in one game once. Not as good, but not 'considerably' worse.
I would bring in Clarke for Donacien. I think Burgess has been worse than Woolfenden of late but will Edmundson be comfortable on the left of defence? I suppose he did well there from January to March last season though that was, from memory, in more of a three. I would return to that. |  |

Clarke is here to replace Donacien and we need to get Edmundson back in for Burgess
Burgess is fine, and he may just be unlucky, but does seem when he’s involved the ball ends up in the back of net more often than anyone else - Fleetwood, Wycombe, Plymouth, today |
Woolfenden isn't free of his responsibilities either. Just because he can carry the ball doesn't mean he is a perfect central back. His main job is to defend and he's been failing like both Donacien and Burgess.
Them three have been unreliable for a while. Why were they selected again? At least of them ought to have been dropped. [Post edited 21 Jan 2023 18:35]

was chatting to a couple of their fans in the sports bar beforehand and they were fearing the worse…predicting a 0.3/4 scoreline…but I put them right…so much talent in our team but all to often we lack composure and it’s an aimless punt forwards ..and I know it’s the in thing to do when we are defending a corner or free kick to pull everyone back but why can’t we keep someone further up the field so went we lump it clear it won’t necessarily come straight back at us?….also maybe try two up front for a change? |  | | |

"Oxford played completely different to any Oxford team I've seen before in the league" |
That quote baffled me too. Poor excuse. |  | | |

Well they did totally change their shape - even their fans had no clue what they were doing |  |

Because Karl Robinson seems to have learnt the lessons following the Boxing Day game.
Our manager meanwhile doesn't seem able to offer any solutions when things go against us. [Post edited 21 Jan 2023 18:46]

Is it that we’ve got too many 20-goal a season strikers but we don’t need one to score 20 goals because Ladapo won’t and neither will Chaplin or Harness? | | | |

Shouldn't we be prepared for a team changing their shape. Something is wrong at the moment. Maybe if we had a plan b or c we could overcome it. Its so frustrating when you look at our squad. | | | |

So if you were manager but unable to see the shape they've changed to due to fog, what would you do? |  |

 blaming the fog for not knowing a teams change in formation. Even KM didn't say that. | | | |

He did see the change though, otherwise how could he comment on it afterwards? [Post edited 21 Jan 2023 20:40]
