Won that well! Even if he was already half way down before the touch was made

 

[ccfcway]

Poor free kick, what a shame

 

[Johnnythespider]

Never a foul there

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Get Doyle off free kicks he is terrible

 

[Nick]

It's pointless drawing fouls when our free kicks are so shit

When did Doyle become a set piece specialist

Good play by JCH. That's exactly what he needs to do. Strong, determined, made that ball his and won a freekick.

Better from JCH

 

[jordan210]

That was a waste of a good free kick.

Oxford fans love to moan about every challenge don't they.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Was thinking the same. Oxfords game plan is clear to see we don't seem to have one.

We haven't been good but Oxfords game plan has seen them have one shot in just over 40 mins.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

What a pathetic free kick routine from Doyle.

Shipley also doing his best powder puff impression.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Savvy from JCH.

That short one was terrible!

Has any team recently been done by that silly dummy teams insist on doing for free kicks that aren’t Direct?

 

[Forever_Blue]

Derry asking ‘why’s he staying down? He’s got to come off now’

Probably what robinson trains them to do!

Bit of a down fall for Derry isn’t t going from being a manager to a coach / assistant?

He asked why has the ref called the physio on, it was a head injury Derry you thick twat!

 

[mark82]

This is terrible to watch. We're not a good team.

 

[Grendel]

People moan about Shipley but Thomas is awful

 

[Nick]

Why do we pass it around the back just to hammer it aimlessly

 

[Nick]

Wasn't it when Thomas tripped him?

 

[mark82]

People moan about Shipley but Thomas is awful

Not sure any of them offer much at the moment.

 

[Nick]

They are bullying us in the middle of the pitch

 

[Nick]

Doyle hoof again

 

[Paul Anthony]

Almost want Mackie to score to see if he actually goes through with his celebration. Almost. That'd be a nailed on booking, wouldn't it?

Then again, we're never going to score in a month of Sundays so he'd best not.

 

[Esoterica]

Doyle is undermining our whole team. Chasing shadows and rarely further than 10 yards away from our back 4 which is ok if he's mopping up knock downs but they are playing football. Bayliss is having to cover half a pitch on his own and so we're overrun in the middle and can't play as a team. So we have to go long to bypass the midfield or try and counter using Thomas' speed. It's not a gameplan though, just a consequence of carrying a 37 year old in a key part of the pitch. We won't do anything this season while we persist with him as a starter. Get him off fucking set pieces too.

 

[sw88]

Wasteful pass from Doyle at the back under no pressure what so ever! Long balls was not our game last season; why does it seem to be this?

 

[Grendel]

If Chaplin was born in the Ivory Coast the ratings will be less I suspect

 

[ccfcway]

This is terrible to watch. We're not a good team.

Dramatic. We have had the best chance of the game and a strike force starting their first ever game together.

 

[hill83]

Scintillating stuff this

 

[sw88]

Almost want Make to score to see if he actually goes through with his celebration. Almost. That'd be a nailed on booking, wouldn't it?

Shows how exciting the game is when the commentators are talking about what may happen if a player scores!

1 up front isn't a strike force

 

[Grendel]

Chaplin and JCH have some work to do before they become the next Wilson and Clarke

Then we didn’t have Doyle lumping balks everywhere but too them

 

[ccfcway]

Half time. A game we are certainly in.

 

[larry_david]

Get Doyle off fucking free kicks ffs.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Get Doyle off free kicks he is terrible

I think it's his ball, If we don't let him take free kicks he'll take it home with him.
