Not sure that matters much if we don't do anything with it, does it? Yesterday we certainly did very little, and what we did do was so slow that it created absolutely no threat.When we and most sides play tippy tippy football from the back. Have you noticed the opposition doesn't have the ball?
I’m sure it’s already been talked about but to give away 2 goals, 2 headed goals, especially one where Moore is against one of the shortest players says it all about our defence
I’ve never seen a win at Northampton - barely seen a goal scored in fact - in ten matches there. Never seen a decent performance there either.
Cambridge too - seldom that we win there or play well there over the years.
Two footballing graveyards for OUFC.
We have a poor record at Cheltenham also.
At those grounds yes. Fifth in the league would say different over almost half a season..
Hold on, I'm having a timely Christmas epiphany.
We're actually s**t aren't we!
Leigh, Negru, sick note Browne, Bodin, Edwards are real misses. There’s your 5.Our midfield didn’t turn up yesterday, so add a virtually non existent striker and most teams would struggle.
One player I think we missed yesterday was Bodin. I’m not a great fan of his as he’s too slow, but he does at times knit the midfield to the forward line.
Also felt Mills had a very poor game yesterday, add to that that Murphy rarely has an end product (been saying this for months), then doesn’t bode well for creating chances.
We were poor again yesterday, but didn’t feel we were as poor as when we played Reading.
Regarding the injured players, the only really miss to the squad for me is Edwards and possibly Bodin, from an offensive perspective which we’re really struggling with at the moment. We’re just not creating good chances.
Leigh, Negru, sick note Browne, Bodin, Edwards are real misses. There’s your 5.
It’s very odd, he didn’t look terrible or uninterested in that game. Presumably he’s already gone backI think Perkins should be given a place in the squad. At least he's actually scored this season!!!!
Add Longy as well. Merry Christmas.Generous based on Negrus most recent efforts.
Bodin and Rodrigues play the same position and we lack sufficient pace when they both play
Edwards and Browne similar positions and hard to really even count Browne as a starter given his record plus we have Murphy playing an equivalent style and standard . You could make the same case for Edwards although he appears superior
Leigh, Negru, sick note Browne, Bodin, Edwards are real misses. There’s your 5.
If all available, whoever starts, means you still have a bench of subs who would make a differenceRight. Who’s the five you leave out from yesterday to make way for them ?
