He's talking total bollocks! Trying to put a positive spin on it but for those of us who were there it doesn't ring true. It was a reasonable display until their first goal (played onside by Clarke) and from that point on we lost discipline. What was most disappointing for me was the lack of technical skills from one or two and the wrong formation played by Sheridan. We were second best for a good portion of the game and missed the few chances we had. I exoect to to see a much changed eleven by the Wigan game.

BP1960 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Why didn't Brian Wilson track the goalscorer instead of appealing for offside ? Some slack defending for the second goal and the way Gerrard was beaten for pace at the end is a concern . On the plus side the keeper looked sharp.

OLDHAM MUMPS Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That miss by Davies was a concern, you are not going to get many clear cut chances like that a season and some one so experienced should have buried it. That last chance by Oxford was so selfish, it should have been passed back to the guy on the penalty spot for an open goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Behave......he doesn't have to call them shite...just be honest about it, I thought Shez, according to the players, is supposed to tell it as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said we weren't clever enough with the 1st goal and we should not have been in the position we were and that people weren't communicating and tracking men for 2nd. Said they were cleverer with ball than us up top end. Basically said we weren't good enough without directly saying "we weren't good enough" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe nothing, but to loose a dressing room at this early stage would not be good. No, it's a good thing, it means they care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.He is not Imo an out and out striker.His hold up play is good and I would play him like we did away at Swindon for example where he was brilliant and helped us get a hard earned draw and away at Wigan a couple of seasons ago which stand out. At home I would play Duffus and Davies up front in the main.Get two fast wingers who can cross the ball and a decent midfielder and let's get the damn ball in the net and get rid of soft tippy tappy midfielders who can't tackle or stop runs straight down the middle which Oxford did without changing gear.

deyres42 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Admittedly I didn't see the last twenty minutes but Banks wasn't the worst player on the pitch, the stick seems a bit unjustified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he tells the media and what he says in the confounds of the dressing room can and indeed should be 2 different things. What he said was to play down the defeat to the media. In the dressing room he needs to and probably did tell a few of them that, that wasn't good enough.

Yet to see Green snarl at anyone or start a game wanting to boot the shit out of anything moving. I think they're pretty far apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
