Not only was it a ridiculously negative, risky pass to make, it allowed Northampton to press high which put Negru under pressure. It then set the panic in for the following period where they scored, and the panic on the ball carried on after the goal.

We have thrown away 3 points against a team we were much better than once again. We need hundreds of chances whilst other sides need a few.

2 points.

3 games in a row. Cheers Sam Long.

 

[brassmonkey]

How many points is long going to cost us this season. Bloke is a liability.

 

[Chippy]

The Northampton guy was offside, came back but didn’t touch the ball, but was in Negru’s way. Even so we had plenty of time to deal with the situation and plenty of men back. All started with a ridiculous ball back from Long though.

2 points literally thrown away, madness!

Both times we went ahead and straight away sat back, go for the ruddy jugular and be ambitious.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Ridiculous to blame Buckingham for that

Just as ridiculous to make him blameless for how we have been since he's come in. Naive rubbish week after week. Brainless.

 

[Whingit]

Gifted them 2 goals, but in general played pretty well.

 

[BrockBuster]

Don't think you can blame Des too much - have been so many individual errors leading to soft goals conceded recently - players need to reset which they're failing to do. Just seems to be a lack of concentration.

Only criticism of him is when we're in front, we're not continuing to put pressure on the opposition when we have momentum.

 

[battman]

As much as some like to blame Des for everything, the players have to take responsibility for that.

Not having that cutting edge when 1-0 up, giving up possession to make it 1-1, then that absolute mess to make it 2-2.

 

[bdodwell]

Ridiculous to blame Buckingham for that

Des needs to proper rollock this lot. Show some balls. Or is that not allowed anymore.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Wow. A draw against a very, very limited Northampton side, after being ahead twice, with both goals conceded coming from individual errors. It’s simply not good enough.

 

[Yello]

The constant negativety of this team does my head in ! We go 1 up playing pretty well and do as we've done numerous times lately .... sit back and its then 1 all . All imputous lost. We go 2 -1 up then as per oxford sam long has to go backwards like we constantly do with a ridiculous pass and there it is. Absolutely pissed off.

 

[Osleroad]

Well suppose at least Goodwin got his first goal for us and Murphy continuing his goal form.

 

[greatunclekip]

Pathetic.

 

[bazzer9461]

How can you blame Des for tonight? We’ve played well bar two awful defensive mistakes.

Maybe as soon as drop his mate he’s been a liability since coming back from injury and no one goal from him won’t cut it. He kept Bodin on but took of arguably our best player in Murphy

 

[Gregortheox]

Absolutely unforgivable what I have just witnessed. There are a few poor, stupid, indecisive men in a yellow shirt. It’s so frustrating to watch every week. But they don’t or can’t learn.

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

Complete control to complete shambles in 15 seconds.

 

[WuTang]

2 points.

Thrown away the chance for 3 points is what I obviously meant but that's for the nitpicking

 

[bazzer9461]

And this oissing anout passing back will catch us out again been saying that since we caught the fakes twice in the same season m.

 

[Yellow There!]

Agree - can’t blame Des for that. As much as people want to slag him off we were good value for that win and the players chucked it away.

 

[Pgyellow]

Both goals conceded by being timid and weak
