v Oxford

[eltorrro]

Any team news?

[Betelgeuse]

Swanson, Reeco & Scarlett start. No Pack, Lowery or Raff. Dale is benched. Minghi and Tunni start, only those 2 midfielders fit.

[jam tomorrow]

Reeco in Dale out Lowery Pack can’t be fit Curtis in as well Tunni plus Freeman a sub must be scraping the barrel. Be interesting to see how this lot shape up Mingi hopefully our shining light?

[Pompeymack]

1-0 down.

[jam tomorrow]

Typical let in an early goal all uphill from here

[Pompeymack]

30 minutes in and no shots on target.

[Betelgeuse]

It's poor again I'm afraid. Overrun in midfield. Why isn't Lowery even on the bench if he's fit?

[Pompeymack]

43 minutes, first shot on target.

[Betelgeuse]

This is the worst half I've seen. Dreadful midfield. No service to the strikers again. No midfielders on the bench.

[BlueinPLtwenty]

Hume, Koroma and Dale are wingers i.e Midfielders

Yeah ok, you know what I mean. Centre midfielders. He needs to change something.

Red card to Oxford. Should be a good final 15.

[Betelgeuse]

The only reason we didn't lose that game was because Oxford went down to 10. Desperately need our midfield back. Dale looked good when he came on, but this forever passing it around the back drives me spare.

[Sam_Brown]

1-1

[NSRailings]

Very frustrating. We were far too slow and didn't think enough. There were very good opportunities to attack that too many players just didn't see. We're missing Pack but that's no excuse for a slow performance. Some of them need a rocket. Oxford got into us and looked dangerous in the first half so good for them. Hackett showed some great play but there wasn't enough movement around him. Credit to Mingi as well.

Feels like we're starting from scratch again but hopefully we'll improve for Saturday.
