Can’t really blame Tonda for tinkering given the quick turnaround, the players looked very leggy second half on Wednesday and Oxford had midweek off. But it’s two badly off form players low on confidence coming into the starting line up and a return to the Charles Downes midfield partnership that just has never worked. Tough game ahead.

In fairness nothing worked under still and charles was out for ages under tonda
 
I'll wait and see what happens, Tonda has earned the benefit of my doubts for the time being.
I think that we'll have enough to beat Oxford especially from the bench. 2-0, THB and Azaz.

Glad to have Stewart on the bench, no way Larin can do another 90 mins and tbf I prefer Matsuki as an impact sub to Fellows.
 
Bit hasty to say that.
Maybe - I expect more though from a £10m player. No goals, precious little end product. I can`t think of a game where he has really earned his place, and he isn`t showing signs of improvement. Maybe today it`ll all change for him.

Fellows has done it before at this level though, and he’s fairly young. He was good for us when Tonda first took over too. He’s never going to be a goal scorer but he can offer a lot as a creative player. Maybe he’s struggling to settle away from his boyhood club, but he’s definitely devoid of confidence right now. Definitely too early to right him off.
 
Looks like weve put the advertising boards too close.

Some blokes are out with a measuring tape on the itchen side pushing the boards back.
