Semedo has been horrendous so far. Put it down to him playing out of position. As has Rino.

Is that going to be it for this season, every game (esp at home) yet keep getting away with it?


How long CAN we keep getting away with it though?

*disclaimer: haven’t got away with it in this one just yet.

Because we aren't 'getting away' with anything


Relying on last ditch defending for 90 minutes whilst hoping we score with our only shot isn’t really an inspiring game plan.

Semedo playing like he still thinks he's wearing red.

For me, the defender next to Puscas is playing Meite on.

Absolute dog shot and daylight robbery. We have been dreadful, and the bookies not fancying us for promotion despite being top looks justified on this performance. Hopefully Porno can make a few adjustments at half time as that was pathetic and totally outplayed.

Wasn’t really any last ditch defending - they got behind us once or twice but they’ve had 2 off target shots

Semedo has struggled. Poor control. Poor passing. We need to get Ejaria in the game more.
Feel for Puscas. He has had nothing to work with.

Lovely 8)

Yeah, but we should be losing because xgoals.


:roll:


why do you shit on that stat...it's probabilistic and I know you're smart enough to understand it

there is only one player to consistently outscore their xG over a continuous 5 year period and that's Messi

i.e. we do not have 'better' finishers

So. 6 and a half games into the season.

Current 'live' table shows us FIVE POINTS CLEAR. One goal conceded in 6 and a half games. Best goal difference in the division.

Just wonder what fans from other clubs would think reading some of the comments on here !!!

Pretty or ugly, it is an INCREDIBLE start to the season. FACT. And is way way way beyond what ANYONE thought we would start like this season.

Am loving it. Enjoy your afternoon fellow nobbers :D

70% pass accuracy to Rotherham’s 84% tells you all you need to know about how we’ve been playing.

Very lax, we’re not getting close enough to each other or the opposition in defence.

Happy with the lead but is it too much to want to see us play well? Just for like 10 minutes even, I’m not greedy. Please.

Yeah hopefully Pauno now realised Semedo is a reserve player at best

Royal Ginger Was sure that was going to be offside.

Harsh on Rotherham, but I really don’t care.


oxf*rd Rotherham. Comments on their pre-match thread saying they’ll beat us and we’ll be back in our normal place soon... remind me how often they’ve finished above us?

What's the longest they've survived in the Championship over the last 20 years?


In the last 20 years is the best they’ve managed is 4 successive seasons

2001/02 finished 21st
2002/03 finished 15th
2003/04 finished 17th
2004/05 finished 24th

And 3 seasons more recently

2014/15 finished 21st
2015/16 finished 21st
2016/17 finished 24th

Their best overall run at Div 2 level is 17 seasons between 1951/52 and 1967/68

Yep their right back is just that bit further inside the penalty area.

higher Only 5 points clear at the top. Sort it out.


Too right. End of Oct 1985 we were 14 (FOURTEEN) points clear!

Disagree. Lots of headers and clearances where Moore and Morrison HAD to get something on otherwise the attacker had a decently easy goal.

We haven’t really won the ball in midfield or up top we’re leaving it entirely up to our back 4.

Absolutely correct. Just be thankful David Coote wasn’t refereeing though.
