[Cooperman]

Let’s keep it tight now for three mins, but we need to kill this off early in the second half.

 

[bakajack]

And we have seen flashes of pace and trickery from Inoussa. Not comparing him to Ronaldo of course but he has hardly been a total train wreck

 

[sit_down_jack]

Not retaining the ball enough here, whenever we win it back, we’re just booting it long. Need to do more with it.

Is it my eyes or is it really dark there? A few more floodlights would be handy, or head torches.

 

[Blackpooljack]

Last 10 mins we've gone to sleep.

 

[eteb]

I disagree
We have seen flashes of his pace and trickery

Ronaldo was equally as frustrating with playacting when he first came to Man Utd but Fergie coached it out of him

I believe Matos can develop the right sides of his game

Exactly. Blokes 21
Isn't he?

 

[Ronald Parp]

Oxford terrible, hopefully we can find that second goal that should see them off. Just need to stop Burgess scoring for them in the second half, but to be fair they haven’t given him many chances yet,

 

[monmouth]

We just seemed to drop off and have a nap for the last 10 or 15 minutes after having an iron grip on things. Need to come out with much more vim and get control of the game again.

I agree on that point

Stamenic and Burgess have been the biggest culprits of that. Fulton has done alright but his positional play has left the two above with no out ball on the deck at times

 

[eteb]

Gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that Fergie saw something in Ronaldo worth persevering with though. Inoussa however...

Not like you say something negative And!

 

[Swans Jack]

Got to kill games off. Come out with more intent and purpose. We have shown some really good moments, but need to take advantage. Inoussa not adding much defensively, imagine Ronald will come on for him at some point.

 

[Cooperman]

Will take that. Not much class and finesse, the Tymon ball and the resulting header being the standout bits of a scrappy half. Oxford are very poor and going down, anything else than three points will be extremely disappointing.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Not like you say something negative And!

Ever heard of jokes, mate? Just a bit of fun.

That's what happens with Fulton in the side. Trampoline.

 

[mrploppy]

Get Inoussa off at half time, he's going to cost us soon.

He's just Ronald without the defensive work. Off soonest.

He can take Fulton with him as well.
