Oxford had a very simple approach to the game:
1] Run with pace at defenders [we have little pace]
2] Have forwards who are mobile and who look for space [we don't look for space]
3] Pass accurately to them [our passing is moderate at best]
They showed that this was their intent from the first minute. From the second minute we showed that we were couldn't deal with this and failed to change tactics.
It was obvious to everyone in the ground by the time Marrs had to go off that McGhee was our most (only?) threatening offensive player. So what happens? He, who has been playing forward on the left, is moved to right back, and Mills (probably our best player this season, at right back) stays at left back. And this whilst we had a former full back (Marshall) on the pitch and another defender, Galinski, on the bench. I was mystified by this at the time, and remain mystified now.
Repeated goals from Oxford showed that it wasn't working. But nothing happened. There was no Plan B (unless you count the inevitable move forward towards the end of Garner, but even that seemed half-hearted).
And, unless he was injured, did anyone else understand the replacement of Piergianni by Galinski (not a criticism of Galinski at all - he was as good as anyone else when he came on and we can hardly begrudge him some time on the pitch)? If that was a last throw of the dice, Gawd help us.
I don't usually criticise on this forum, but this seemed witless coaching and tactics to me. I have yet to see a convincing performance at home this season. We were extremely fortunate to beat Barrow, and the absurd tactics for the last quarter of that game just invited Barrow on to us.
LCB:I certainly did not see a game which we could have won 9-7, or one in that the opposition only had 7 chances. They repeatedly pulled us apart at the back, even if they did score from the great majority of their genuine chances.
Tash: Although I agree that the keeper wasn't great (although he did make a really good save when we were exposed at the back yet again early on) it's a bit much to make him the scapegoat for woeful defending ahead of him which left him exposed time and time again. Look at their 3rd goal: when their defender set off from the halfway line it was clear that he had only one thing on his mind - to run at our defence for as long as he was allowed. And he was allowed to go all the way. Nobody tackled him or presented any sort of half decent challenge.
Good points? Meadows sprayed some nice balls around!
I'm off to lie down......
