Especially when you consider Armstrong was a handful for their back row....

Poor effort by Twine from the fK, well over the bar

More good defending Tanner

[Ecko]

That is absolute piss poor from twine

[Chairman Mao]

Rovers getting battered.

[old_eastender]

Another awful shot by Mehmeti, well over the bar after he cuts inside

[PAPA650]

ffs get memehti off this football not rugby ffs

[RED4LIFE]

Why all the negativity? 

We've had more possession, shots, shots on target and corners. It's not like we're struggling to create.

Their goal came from a lucky deflection off of McNally straight to their player who was clean through. On another day that deflection goes nowhere near any of their players.

There are plenty of sticks to beat the club and manager with, but todays performance isn't one of them.

[collier]

Mehmeti stuck in groundhog day, cut inside for umpteenth time and blast over the bar!!!

[Ian M]

We look far better with Bird in CM and Twine at 10. Just saying.

I think our fanbase has lost the plot recently. People need to relax. Everyone is so angry.

Agreed.

It's proof of the old adage " it's easier to destroy than create'.

A possible win against a top seven team?

[Red Exile]

We're playing well. Some fine players in our ranks.

I don't think much of the manager but so much of the grief on here is a function of the club lacking a leader to rally the fan base. 

COYR

[collier]

Sliding doors moment that Oxford miss tbh. At 2 0 I doubt we win the game.

[joe jordans teeth]

What a difference the Japanese lad has made 

[pj76]

Yu is awesome. 

Twine is a 10.

Roberts is better then Pring.

[David Brent]

3 points off the playoffs as it stands 

[RedEyez]

Funny what happens when you play players in their actual positions, isn’t it?

[RED4LIFE]

I thought it was too.

Looked like ball then player to me.

Either way, about time we had some luck and makes up for the missed handball in the box earlier.

[pillred]

The gas are staging a comeback 2 in 2

[Slack Bladder]

Well. Who knew, if you play players in their best position, we suddenly look a much better team?

[Midlands Robin]

Thank Christ we've turned that around.

Still can't get my head around this managing witchcraft of playing a natural 10 at 10. Very odd that but it's definitely worked.

I wonder if Liam will risk playing players in their natural position again? It's a bit risky.

[The turtle]

Put twine as 10..... Get that bit of luck with the Harris miss. And oh look with players playing where they should, the teams cogs start working. Absolutely no shock, and if this holds, Manning has a bit of breathing space.

Please please no more twine out wide.

[old_eastender]

Dembele subbed, glad to see that

Good play Wells winning us a FK 

[RED4LIFE]

I think George Tanner has had an excellent game again. Barely put a foot wrong.

[David Brent]

Wells has been great. Really shown he’s an important player still
