Very worried with set pieces with only 1 centre half and a left back as proper defenders. Side unbalanced.
I'd replace Matete with O'Nien. I live the lad but he's chaotic and trying too hard. Embleton for Clarke and push Broadhead wider. And stop giving them possession ffs.
my worries were correct, getting over run in the center, oxford playing some decent stuff while we are hoofing it upfield in hope, apart from the first few minutes we have done nowt in their half. clarke and roberts continuing to turn infield, especially when clarke is going past his man on the outside, is costing us in attacks...matete not active enough for a central player but we look like we are all defence right now, mistake leaving batth out i think. if oxford had the right boots on they could have had a couple more, although same could be said about us early on.
I'll take that at half time. Midfield has been awful - kicking it around like a hot potato. Jack Clarke has been ineffective, Dan Neil on please
Well seeing as nearly everyone thinks we are going to win with anything up to six - one, Oxford have to get that one sometime in the game.
