Gutted at the result, feel the game should have been abandoned - we had more to lose than them, the conditions suited our style less, we had 2 new players in who wouldn't have yet had instinctive knowledge of where their team-mates would be likely to be etc. - but if we did encounter playing conditions like that again, I think it's safe to say KM will have learned from today & move for abandonment.
Yes we've been on a poor run, but it doesn't sit right with me to treat today as simply part of that pattern. I'm taking it as a one-off freaky event, & a chance for KM to now take stock of the squad as it is with our new additions, & re-set the lines to turn things around again. I have confidence his analytical brain & coaching skills can & will do that. |  |

We've had at least ten 'freak games' now this season.
Same conditions for Oxford. |  |

Was it not foggy for Oxford then?
Don't think the ref could abandon if we decided we didn't want to play if Oxford wanted to keep going. Be interesting to see what exactly went on with those discussions as it seems a bit odd both managers agreed on calling it off then the ref essentially said they were too late to do so. |  |

No we haven't - we haven't played 10 freak games in fog so thick you couldn't see the other side of the pitch; nor have you mentioned the other factors I commented on. | |

That's my take how many freak games does it take to realize we're not that good, we will finish 3-6 and bottle the play offs, |  | | |

With a squad as 'good' as ours the other factors are becoming more and more irrelevant each time.
You can keep making similiar excuses all season for dropping points against theoretically worse teams if it makes you feel better. | |

You're being harsh. It was definitely a freak game. It didn't suit our style. Clearly that was not the only thing to blame and we were pretty awful as well but if we played them again next week in normal conditions I think it would be a comfortable victory.
We had lost six straight when we played Leicester down here in the snow. The conditions are a massive leveller. |  |

You're free to keep ignoring 90% of what I actually said if that makes you feel any better. | |

'It didn't suit our style'.
As others have pointed out, we only have one style and teams have sussed that out (I'll admit that in better weather conditions we might have been able to impose our style a lot better).
No plan B for those games where the opposition's whole approach is to make it hard for us to play as we want (the rude meanies).
Is it not maybe a manager's job to look at a game like today with the conditions etc and change things if it's not working? Go more direct? Have a shot from outside the box? | |

We lost and they won. They were better than us on the day. Fair result. | |

As I said in another post that game was made for a more direct approach and McKenna doesn't seem to want to play that way.
It is absolutely fair to point that out. | |

On the thick foggy day where you couldn't see the far side of the pitch, which conditions suited us far less than them, for all the reasons I mentioned.
Agreed! | |

The grief people give Frimley, this urge to justify everything right now is equally embarrassing. |  |
