Snowflake Royal Unfortunate.

Doesn't sound unfortunate. Sounds soft. Maybe we weren't doing too badly before, but it counts for nothing if they barely have to work to take the lead.

the only consistency in this side is how terrible our defence is.

It was unfortunate, because we had been defending well, and the striker just managed to toe poke it under a flying Pereira who had most of the goal covered.

Lane really should have done much better with that crossing opportunity. Wing inside him, Doyle on the spot... puts it straight down the keeper's throat.

Much like Wrexham, we just don't have that final pass, move correct.

And just then, Savage plays a ball inside the defender that Lane is 10 yards from having any chance of getting to.

Hunt has turned this team into one with such a soft underbelly. We were so much more solid last season, now we look like we'll concede under every attack.

Is it surprising with our two best defenders injured?

That's a factor yes, but I also believe tactics and style of play do us no favours. We give possession back to the opposition far too easily which puts us under pressure.

It's like McDermott football but with shit players.

We do, that's certainly true. But that's a characteristic of a struggling team as much as any sort of style or tactic.

Tbf, most of our goals come from outside the box, so why touch it inside? :wink:

The stats on BBC don't make great reading. Especially the one that states we haven't touched the ball inside their box.

We've not looked solid at the back all season, a lot is due to our midfield being so weak offering no protection. Don't tend to win second balls and allow teams to pass through us too easily

To be fair, we did lose two championship-quality centre backs over the summer.

Don't think we've been great defensively for the last few seasons now

Missed the first half, but sounds like we're doing well in the second.

I would say playing similar, but more of the ball.


Oh hell, a foot either way there and Dorsett scores. Good save.


OMG what a shocking chip, we should be done.

oxf*rd sake, clear foul on Kyerewaa there. Yeah the ball was long gone but it's still a foul.

And a blatant foul on Wing not given.
