I'll be having a word with Leys in the morning egg. He is aware that under Rule 4 subsection e3 point 2.3, no criticism should be directed at karl following yet another, at times, shambolic performance, against a team of kids, when karls team was quite strong. All this in a competition we should be targeting for success.
That's like saying you don't get sacked for missing your September sales target. But remove the spin, and you'll see he also missed his July, August and September targets as well.
Behind closed doors friendly??
Behave lads!
The worrying thing with Seddon now is he’s becoming a common denominator in every poor performance/poor result. Better performances (however few) have largely been when he’s not involved and the poorest performances have normally involved him at his worst. I can’t remember seeing a defensive player quite as vulnerable as he is. He has no pace, no real quality on the ball (people who throw him that bone are being especially kind) and no IQ to know when to leave space and when not to. His redeeming quality is his engine but perhaps he wouldn’t need that if he wasn’t chasing open spaces he’d left at the wrong time or run forward when he’s never receiving the ball.
A competition worth millions in prize money, a trip to Wembley, a trophy, and the coverage it would have given the boards Oxford brand??????????
If it’s such a big deal why don’t more people go and watch the games?
Let me ask you this. If Karl was sacked last week and a new manager lost this game, would you react the same way? Or would you just say ‘who cares. Important results are in the league’… Rhetorical question as I think I know the answer.
Exactly this, if we’d won tonight the usual suspects now using it as a stick to batter KR with would he saying ‘it’s only a bunch of kids, the result doesn’t mean anything’. Always read to twist to suit their narrative
A bunch of kids who probably earn more than our players! It was frustrating though, we were on top for a lot of the game but didn’t have much attacking threat or pattern to our play, and the subs made us sloppy.
Hi @Scotchegg
Would that be the Leyton Orient game we won 5-0, 48 hours before the transfer window slammed shut. You then told us all we had a top 6 squad that only needed a world class right back like Djavan Anderson added to it (who I’m sure you know all about).
Keep talking.
Sorry but this is a ridiculous comment. First. It’s a cup game. Regardless whether it is the Papa John or FA Cup. We reached the final, back to back, of this cup just a few years ago. There is money to be won (Important for the club).
But yeah it’s all about getting players legs up to speed…

Secondly, the fact is we put out a strongish side, and still somehow lost to some youngsters. What a world of good that will do for our confidence
Pressure continues to grow for Karl.
You mean like the 34,000 or so that went to Wembley?
Well, if he doesn't find that one, there's always the hundred's of others he could use, all of the same ilk.
