One shot on goal against a poor poor side. I can’t see us going up if we play like this

The last thing this side needs is to be promoted

Well that was frustrating. Not good enough with our finishing today. Poor result.

All over.

Wasted

If this is the best Parker can do against a shite team like Oxford we might as well pack in .

We were warned about ‘Parkerball’ by Fulham and Bournemouth fans. Here it is. Even less fun than watching Southgate’s England.

5 blocked, which is what happens when they have 11 men in the box.

They are undefeated at home and set their stall out to get a point (like we did many of a game in the PL years). Can't take anything away from them

We would never score a goal in the Prem!

6 worldies in a season, perhaps!

Sack him.

Oxford were total rubbish at defending.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:52 pm

We can't say we didn't have the chances to win it. We were crap when we got them.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:53 pm

Said it last week too. We absolutely have to be braver against the vast majority of teams that just want to defend. That said we missed two absolute sitters. Frustrating result against a poor team

Oxford not interested in scoring, We were so laboured it was untrue. Two chances totally wasted. A snorefest. I need a drink!!

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:53 pm

Far better team but you get games like that. Certainly didn't play badly, score 1-2 and everyone would have been delighted with how we controlled the game.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:53 pm

This result strengthens our promotion chances.Draw Oxford away is a good result. More of these please

Promoted sides away are always tricky. Full of fire and confidence however limited they are,

On a day when the top two both lose it is no disaster.

How long can we afford to stay in the championship?

The side may not be ready, but the finances likely tell a different story.

We’re not creating enough, despite plenty of possession. Lots to work on but early days and we’ve not really been able to field a settled side, as yet.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:54 pm

Better performance in the second half, good point won, we were much better than them, two bad misses let us down.

ISpeds00 · Post by **ISpeds00** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:54 pm

THAT'S A 5 NIL AT HOME ALL DAY LONG
TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:54 pm

We didn't go at them in the final third. Well maybe once but that's not enough.

They actually looked the most dangerous team today from their 70-80 min period when they were coming at us.

TPClaret · Post by **TPClaret** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:54 pm

Great point away from home. Dominated the game against a team who sat back all game after winning first 3 home games. We had chances to win it. What’s wrong with people

Could've done with Flemming today, still maintain we are one player light up top. Frustrating but that's football. Oxford had won all 3 home games before today.

Side note, I'm reading this thread whilst on holiday, so this has kind of been my match update. The attitude of some of our posters has annoyed me more than the result. Let's have a bit of a reality check and not act like self entitled fannies eh? It's a bit embarrassing

Oxford are an embarrassment to the Championship. We are not good enough to beat them. Awful apology of a football match.

You calling people fannies when you haven’t even watched the game is embarrassing.

Why should we? Oxford are celebrating this like a victory. Their plan was to defend, pack the box and make us try to get them out of position.

Parker ball is proving to be a tough watch.

One of the most frustratingly tedious games for a long while.

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:57 pm

I could have swore we came away from home with a point today? Theese posts make me think otherwise.

Not the best day at the office but according to some on here we had been trounced 5 nil by the reaction

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:58 pm

Well I hope Ruby Turner turns up tonight at The Grand.

Don't think I'll score though !!!!!!

If we can’t beat that lot, even with the side we had out, we’ve no chance of going up. Not enough goals in the side for me. Foster was awful, Jay past it, and as for Houtondji I despair.

I didn't think we would be able to play more tedious football than we did against Pompey, but we certainly topped it today. So dull

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Sep 28, 2024 5:00 pm

Oxford have won all 3 home games in the league and were fortunate to get away with a draw after 3 really poor misses from Burnley players ( Foster, Sarmiento, Houtondji).

It wasn't the best performance and was far too laboured for too long , however we still had decent patterns of play at times especially down the wings.

Undoubtedly though there's much room for improvement!

What’s your tactic against a team with 11 men in their defensive third, lump it into the box?
