McKenna has only one system and that is to play football from the back, to get out of this division you have to mix the way you play. If and when we get promoted yes play the Ipswich way but until then take a good look at the system you are playing. |  | | |  |

Clever Oxford, who would ever think of changing systems?
Too clever by half…… |  | | |

The system isn't the problem. Missing a ridiculous number of good chances almost every game whilst conceding too easily from few chances against is our problem, neither of which are really directly attributable to our system. |  |

That's why I haven't been able to join in with all the happiness at signing players capable of playing in the Champ - to get there, you need players who are tough, don't mind rolling up their sleeves, & are capable of doing the ugly stuff necessary to get you outa L1 first. |  |

It would be nice if KM had a Plan B up his sleeve. It seems if Plan A isn’t working, then we’re struggling. Yet another game we’ve had plenty of chances and failed to capitalise. Doesn’t seem to matter who plays, we have the same issues. [Post edited 22 Jan 2023 7:27]

He would counter that we created 5 very good chances playing his way but missed them. |  |

Conceding too easily from few chances isn’t due to the system? It must just be bad luck then! TWTDs finest post-game insight coming out tonight. | | | |

Which system do you think would prevent the lapses that have led to us conceding and why? And how would that system simultaneously address the issue of missing chances? Really curious to hear your greater insight on this. | |

I don't know why you'd have the likes of Hirst and Ladapo and and stick with 1 uptop for 90 minutes.
We missed freddies pressure and general play first half.
Stick him with a partner in hirst and see what that brings. |  |

Has changing Penney or Thompson to Davis really weakened our defence that much? We conceded ten from the last 20 games last season, with Donacien, Woolfenden and Edmundson/Burgess in the backline. This season we seem to be leaking goals for fun. | |

There's nothing wrong with having a really structured way of playing where everyone knows their roles.
Importantly if you're going to do that and focus on yourselves rather than the opposition you need superior quality. We have that.
My biggest concern is people thinking that will work in the championship when we won't have superior quality. | | | |

McKenna alluded to Oxford always play a certain way and this is the only time he has known them to change. I have mentioned several times that teams never try to beat us, they just try and contain us and find a way to win.
Betcha we beat Burnley next weekend. |  | | |

You could argue that Davis bombing forward has had a huge impact on us defensivley this season and teams target that area. Plymouth did last week and created chances as a result. You could also that this exposes Burgess more than he's capable of dealing with.
Either way, we're over half way through the season now, this isn't "bad luck" anymore. We are where we deserve to be. |  |

How many goals have come as a result of Davis being caught up the pitch and teams getting in behind in that area? I'm struggling to think of many, if any. | |

As I also said, you could argue it exposes Burgess to. Levels that he's just not able to handle.
Hardie missed an absolute guilt edge chance last week because Davis had bombed forward, just to name an example.
I'm not sure why Burgess is preffered to Edmundson who's better on the ball and we've been no better defensively with Burgess at the back and he's also been at fault for goals.
We've not had any degree of control on games for months now either. It's no coincidence that when we've been leading, we drop deep and concede goals. Earlier in the season we had far more control. Teams have adapted and pressed us higher and we've changed nothing. It's great playing lovely passing football, but will that win promotion from this division? | |

Burgess was marking his man and fluffed trying to win the ball high up the pitch. Had very little to do with Davis. I am unconvinced by Burgess lately, he's too slow to react and his decision making isn't always the best. But I don't see Davis and his ability to bomb on being the cause of many, if any, of the goals we've conceded lately. | |

The system or at least the least the inability to change it was the problem when the manager was Paul Cook.
Coincidentally the system has become very much like the Paul Cook one of late. |  | | |

I thought we did pay more long balls than usual yesterday. Evans contributed very little ,because he wasn’t given the ball enough. | | | |

That wasn't the problem under Cook, the problem under Cook was that we were sh!te. If the system worked, nobody would have cared that he didn't change it. Things are nothing like they were under Cook, really not sure where you've plucked that opinion from. | |
