This Max guy is rather good
Fantastic double save from Stryjek
Sounds like a quiet one
Well done to Big Phil jinxing that pen!
"He's scored 4 pens in one game last season...he's a specialist"
Pen saved.
Great double save
Wow. What a pair of saves!
Nerd q - is it a 5 at the back, or have we gone to 4231, with Obita out wide where he did so well at the end of last season?
Deary me, Gape now injured. Sigh.
3 centre backs
This is a horrid affair so far. Can’t blame the players for the stop starts but as a spectacle it’s grim.
Yes. It’s thin gruel.
Two consecutive Oxford throw-ins going straight out, for example.
30mins, one pen save, and we've barely been in their half.
Emergency and 2 injury breaks have made it even bittier than some of our previous aways, which takes some doing.
What a goal!
Magic from the Centre Backs
Cracking pass & pinpoint header - Mawson to Forino - GOAL
Lovely stuff!
That was magnificent
Pinpoint pass from Alfie, no surprises there!
When was the last time two of our centre backs combined for a goal like that! Ridiculous goal.
Get in !
Please don't just defend for the rest of the game !
As I said elsewhere. Magic amid the dross.
I don't know if anyone has picked up on this already, but whenever Forino is in the box he is always a threat in the air.
Gareth certainly has, which is why he's come on and gone up front a couple of times late on!
The few times we have kept the ball on the ground & passed it we have looked threatening ; however we seem to be content at the moment to just lump the ball forward...
Convert him to a striker !
After all Gareth Bale started out as a defender, and I'm sure there are other examples as well that I currently cannot think of
JJ with some great defending late on there. That's more the JJ we're used to.
There was a clear foul by an Oxford player in the first of that sequence of corners.
According to the BBC and Flash score it is now half time????
Yep, bit of American football style blocking on Mehmeti.
