I know. But he should have been stronger, he was in the perfect position between man and ball, but it was too easy for the defender. I'd be expect winning a throw in out of that situation as a minimum. He's a big lad, he needs to believe in it and use his size, like Best did in that last season, and actually Jukebox was superb at that too.

Shipley's going to get sent off if he's not careful. Stupid lunge then.

Should have put the defender in the stand just with a shoulder barge

JCH constantly being out-muscled but he's constantly so isolated.

Yep we’re not big or strong enough at times

We are so deep it's inviting them on to us. And we can't seem to get the ball off them when they have it.

They are pressing us quickly and very high, making us rush. They seem to have acres of room when in possession.

Great play. Nearly the opening goal from us

When we get the ball near the back, there's literally one player (JCH) to play it forward too, so we resort to lumping it up just to relieve the pressure. It's so one dimensional.

Thomas did well there, but we couldn't make it count.

Dave Boddy looked interested then on camera with Fisher. Then again, Atleast he was watching the game and not on his phone like Morinho yesterday when Shaw was getting treatment

I suspect his flaw is he gets demotivated and will even more now when Thomas should have played him in for a goal

Thomas with zero end product again.

Doyle goes for a conversion by the looks of it.

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?

We've got Thomas who is an outlet who can out pace anyone and we refuse to play towards him. What's the actual game plan

As much as I like Thomas as a threat against most in this division, I get the feeling he's not really embedded in our philosophy and really only wants to shine for himself. Just my opinion over the last few games. I hope Robins doesn't allow this from a loan player.

He won't change the system

He needs to be on the last defender, gambling off jch

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

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

What I don't understand is if we're going to insist on the hoof and hope approach, why haven't we got two players pressing the defence? Surely you need one to win the knock on and another one to get on to it. That's the whole point of the long ball, isn't it?

Great play by JCH, decent position here
