Hearing "we've had a really strong half" on RobinsTV. We really are in trouble if this is "strong"!

Bottom 3 as we speak

Manning has to take Williams off at HT (he has been anonymous defending midfield and is on a yellow), revert to Bird & Knight CM and lets have Yu on out wide.

[temp]

As things stand we are in bottom 3

[Jeez]

 

Dropped into bottom 3 as it stands

we bottom 3 oxford top 3 ffs

 

[Dastardly and Muttley]

At least we have the players’ half time talk to sort us out. 

[Sweeneys Penalties]

sacked in the morning?....Nearer 5.00 today would do for me

[petehinton]

I think Manning is on the ropes here. 

[MelksRed]

Feels like everything is going Oxfords way....

[Spudgun]

Got relegation written all over this team when you've got the likes of Armstrong running around up front.

Can't score, can't defend.

Relegation fodder.

All we need is a Manning special half time team talk, we got this

Oxford are currently 3rd

Around 60 minutes?

[Peter1450]

Nothing to worry about, inspirational half time talk, we always start the second half strong and then like for like subs on the hour……what could go wrong?

[MelksRed]

First half in a paragraph....

Failed to capitalise on 3/4 chances, static much of the time. Dembele is controlling the midfield, needs addressing. All dependent on next goal....

[Fjmcity]

Likely he goes surely, very uninspiring. We go again

It’s a worry. Overall, objectively, we were ok that half…but if we cannot score and we look a million miles away from keeping a clean sheet, only one way it is going. Oxford have come closest to getting a second in the match.

Feel like it’s a big big half for Manning coming up.

Because of course even though he's one of the better players.

Oxford are terrible. We’re going to be in a relegation scrap if we can’t beat teams like this 

[Barrs Court Red]

Annoying, thought that was a reasonable 1st half.  

[fly in the air]

the leaque  table does not lie. last 2half games 7 against none scored. shocking.

Not sure I agree with this. We have made some good chances....just bad decision making or poor product that has resulted in nothing. 

[Galley is our king]

Shocking and this place is likely to explode if things don't improve.

Boos at half time whistle..

[BCFC Rich]

Interesting reading through the comments. Think we have been the better side, need to take the chances we are making. Oxford took their chance, but other than an incredible long-range effort from Demeblele haven't really threatened that much - they have definitely had moments where they have looked like they could be dangerous, but none of those have amounted to much. 

At this point, I'm happy with the performance and would like to see us maintain it 2nd half (something we have not been good at!), The only big negative is the current score line and that will only matter at FT. 

[Alan Dicks]

He has to be sacked tonight

[Hazelboy]

Tin hat on…

Going on 1-0 down is pretty harsh. 
Mehmetis finishing terrible again
Armostrongs first header is a terrible miss.

However to caveat that - if you sign a striker that doesn’t score you can’t moan at him when he continues to not score!! 

Big 45 coming up, Oxford look pretty bad at the back and Vaulks coming on can only be a good thing! 

[MelksRed]

[eardun]

Really have to start taking our chances - we’ve had plenty of opportunities to score in that half. 

[robin_unreliant]

This is what happens when you set out to strengthen your attack but don't buy any players with a record of scoring goals.

That's bullshit!

If you think that Armstrong header wasn't clear cut you have no clue!

Genuinely have any of our previous managers been sacked just after a game - don't they usually wait till the following week?

You’re getting sacked in the morning?

Agree, but i always liked SOD prior to us, just think it was the wrong place wrong time but always thought he was capable, more so than Manning! 

[Leveller]

Apart from their goal, we had a good half but missed the numerous chances we made. We could easily be a couple up, so the reaction on here is very disappointing. We should be recognising the good play - and their midfield certainly haven’t dominated. Look at the stats on possession and shots.

[Super]

Is Mcnally any better than Naismith?
