If only we had some defenders on the coaching staff.

[Bristol Paul]

Why the oxf*rd do we push up so much when 2 nil down and 1 minute to go. Jesus, that was dreadful again, individual errors are killing us. Thought Gibson did well until then.

[tidus_mi2]

Just because Gibson oxf*rd up it doesn't absolve McIntyre of having a shit game against Preston, oxf*rd we miss Moore.

[NewCorkSeth]

Is that another game where Rafael didn't make a single save?

[CountryRoyal]

Stoke, 3 shots on target

1 hit post tbf

But yeah clearly we can deduce from this no point playing Rafael

[Hound]

Stoke, 3 shots on target

Same as Cov and Preston pretty much

Problem is the errors we are making are so poor we are giving unmissable chances

[John Madejski's Wallet]

What's that lads, it's the 92nd minute and we're 2-0 down? No you can't bloody go long, play it out at walking pace with at least three backwards or sideways passes.

Just oxf*rd off.

We can now see that Pauno-ball is the exact same crap that we've been stuck with for years. plodding out the back, defensive errors abound. The Reading way

[Hound]

Yep exactly

Thought he looked pretty good until then

[Millsy]

Agreed. Reading have generally been much better. Gifted Stoke 2 goals they wouldn’t have created themselves and have been creative throughout. Samedo’s been excellent.

By far the better team yes bit at 2 down it's a tough ask. Play a high line and our incredibly dodgy keeper and defence will only be under more strain.

Yeah, commit forward and higher risk of conceding again.

I think 0-3... more likely

[Snowflake Royal]

I like him as a keeper, but he's made a lot of errors this season.

Even in the good run, he was dropping some alarming flaps at crosses, passes and one save straight at an opposition forward that bounced off him and safe.

Maybe, just maybe.... largely the same group of players are still largely shit.

Twitter should be fun.

+1

WE NEED CB COVER DESPERATELY

Put it into perspective though

We’ve still had an outstanding start. Top half of the table would have been ok before the season started

Need to get back to basics, stop the stupid errors and we’ll be reasonable still

It's almost like those first games were the lingering effect of Bowen and the longer Velcro is in charge the more he's able to stamp his authority on the team and make us play his way.

[CountryRoyal]

If only we had some defenders on the coaching staff.

Problem is it’s no surprise. John O’Shea was a meme for us.

Should have scored in the first half. Gave away a goal in the second. Not a great debut.

[tidus_mi2]

Worst thing about this is the oxf*rd smug oxf*rd out there are going to be saying "See, we told you they'd fade away"

Next two are very tough. If we lose five on the bounce confidence is going to to be very low. Essential that some of our injured players return in two weeks time.

Even in the good run, he was dropping some alarming flaps at crosses, passes and one save straight at an opposition forward that bounced off him and safe.

9 goals conceded in the last 3 games, only saved 3 shots in that time and 1 was the parry into the Coventry players path. He's in very poor form. Very, very poor form.

That doesn't even take into account his atrocious passing of late.
