I can see that Hall can probably step in at the back, however I would have seen this as an opportunity to go 4-3-3 with Williams, Keating and Wright at the front or 4-4-2.

apparently we haven't had a shot worthy of the name

Oxford are playing the ball on the deck while we keep hitting aimless balls up front which are food and drink for the home side.

If Owers doesn't get them to change tactics it'll be a long boring second half.

Yep, had a bad feeling about this game before it started and so far it's proving correct. Time for Wright to have a run out.

Why does Owers never give Keating a real run out? I feel like whenever he’s had a good game, he starts him the following game and the team don’t have a good first half drops him/takes him off. I’m sure he’s done this a few times now? Least give him a bit longer....

We all knew we are lacking firepower. Route 1 isn’t the answer. Could see this coming.

Are we still in the playoffs.?

Someone let me know what Owers sees in Reid? I don’t think he’s good enough for the team. Keating shouldn’t have been subbed off so early on. He’s the only striker who has some sort of confidence and which was growing.

What you mean Super Brett didn't score again???

Nathan Strong · Post by **Nathan Strong** » 14 Aug 2018, 21:49

Sadly his loan shot hit the bar.

Well that sounded absolutely abysmal. No goal threat from us whatsoever, just like the first 3 games
For Gods sake sort it out Owers or get somebody in who can
All this chopping and changing, between Reid and Keating, shuffling the pack, Williams pull your bloody
finger out, captain, what a joke, Hall should be captain. At least Wright sounded better in his 10 minutes
lets hope he starts saturday up front with a new loan striker. Nothing less than a win on saturday will do
and for Christs sake start with some tempo on the front foot and get at them
