Farcical game on 16:49 - Jan 21 with 1319 views | DublinBlue84 | Pure stupidity, the match was going to be called off before the managers got involved. We're not playing well, it's a lottery out there and things not really in our favour. Get it called off and start again on a clear day rather than play a high stakes game where someone can fluke a goal. Really poor management of the situation by McKenna to insist they play on. About 4-5 players have just missed an open goal for us as they couldn't see what was going ont oo. |  |

Exactly, Oxford have played in the fog as well.. all we can do now is try win every game between now and the end of the season, and if we end up in the playoffs so be it. |  | |  |

Mostly agree with you, but how do you know their manager was going to agree to abandonment? Obviously needed both to consent. |  |

"About 4-5 players have just missed an open goal for us as they couldn't see what was going ont oo. " What's their excuse the rest of the time? And it didn't seem to affect Brannagan. |  |

What a stupid comment - did you actually manage to (not) see anything of the 90+7 minutes? |  |

We were playing badly and the game was an absolute lottery - too right we should look for the advantage of playing in better conditions. |  |

Rolling fog. Same for both sides. Oxford took some chances. We didn't. As usual. Continuation of the last 8 weeks to a tee. We were spineless in both boxes. Lacked energy, creativity. No plan B. Subs were far too little, too late. Blame the fog if it helps you sleep at night. |  |

As Dubs said, conditions turned it into a lottery. Oxford had been mid-table & had less to lose than us. Plus we were having one of our worst days ever under KM. Different day in any kind of normal weather, we'd have been the more likely winners - clearly the kind of slick passing game KM's been inculcating is not best served by fog so thick you couldn't even see the other side of the pitch, esp since our shirts would have been harder to pick out than their bright yellow. |  |

Yes. We'll definitely look back at the season and think how more luminous shirts could have got us over the line. |  |
