Personally I thought the actual performance was pretty good. Apart from the first 10 minutes I thought we edged it and created the better chances. With better finishing we could and probably should have had 2 or 3 goals.
Unfortunately that doesn't get you points unless you put the ball in the net.
I'm a bit surprised so many are critical of the formation / tactics because I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was working. It was only when we took off Kilgour and brought on Westbrooke that we lost our attacking threat and Oxford looked more comfortable. Lets not forget we went with a back 4 at Accrington and we all know what happened there.
Good to see Rodman back playing so well. MOTM in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, I'm far from convinced Tisdale will keep us up and I certainly wouldn't go as far as to say we were fabulous but there were postives to take from that performance which was definitely not the case last Tuesday.
Saturday really is a must win game though, for our survival chances and probably for PT as well.

Man U scored the winner tonight with a similar chance Daly missed, and McCormick's was hardly a half chance, apart from a tap in your not going to get a much eady chance to score.
Do the players miss on purpose to try and get PT the sack, or ate they just that poor?

The was unlucky with the other chance, that he created himself. Got it out wide, flicked it over the defenders head, cut inside the other defender and then it looked like the shot was just deflected over. The reaction from our player’s also made it seem that way. Plus he still isn’t match fit and is getting his sharpness. He made some good runs and held the ball up well considering. |

Daly had 4 goals and 1 assist in 8 games under Garner at the start of this season! That’s a goal every other game in the league which is a very healthy return no matter how old you are. |

Do the players miss on purpose to try and get PT the sack, or ate they just that poor? Or nervous? Or tense? Over eager? Just saying. |

Only point I would disagree on is "It was only when we took off Rodman not Kilgor that we lost our attacking treat. |

The club could have helped Tisdale more by allowing him to clear out coaching staff that he inherited and were not behind him rather him having to inherit the imposter Garners assistant manger and bruiser Coughlan's coach. No striker in the January window and no settlement money to get shot of coaches he doesn't want suggests there were no funds to pay for these obvious requirements. You never know Mr 100% could be manager by 6.30pm on Saturday and then we can get relegated in real style.

Think he was right with his comment though, you shouldn’t be relying on youngsters with potential for your goals. It puts extra pressure on them. It makes those chances seem a little bit harder, especially when the squads confidence is low. Daly had 3 goals in the league under Garner, one of his goals was against Darlington in the cup, under Tisdale, when he got injured. He also won 2 penalties in that game. I would rather him upfront than Hanlon and I think he will get goals. But it’s a lot of pressure for a 20 year old and we shouldn’t be relying on one player. Thought rodman had a good game. I would start with Rodman, Daly and Nicholson on Saturday. Think they will cause problems. They can all beat a man and can grab a goal. |

Same as last time I don’t see us winning many games Absolute terrible team! Should have win today and vs Fleetwood Ffffffff After sleeping on this, and on a more positive note, I think we played quite well in the last 2 games, Oxford last night and Fleetwood last Saturday, and created more chances than the other team to have won both games? Our finishing has let us down terribly; players in good goal scoring positions seem to “panic” and shoot wildly or blindly when a bit of coolness and calmness is required. There are times when one has no time otherwise the chance may go but in the majority of cases, better decision making may help? Also, the number of 3 point rugby shots yesterday is typical of our players ability not to hit the target! Our other weakness is the defence; we concede the types of terrible and shocking goals that most other teams in the 4 leagues would never do? Basic and unbelievable mistakes, backing off and not confronting attackers, too much space and room given, terrible marking and positioning, ball watching, etc. If one looks at how we line up to defend corners, not many other teams do what we do. 7/8 defenders in 6 yard box; far too many and in each other’s way, not one defender at the edge of the penalty box to pick up loose balls or block shots from there, poor front post defending, etc. On the contrary, our corners are generally not very good; most times we cannot get the ball past their front post? And we waste a player by having 2 players at the corner post! To win games, no matter how well we play, we have to score goals! Our players lack confidence and calmness in front of goal and I don’t see this changing much. We may hopefully get a game where every chance goes in and that may build more confidence but ...... It is now going to be very tough to get out of the relegation zone. It looks like 7 clubs, including us, trying to avoid the 4 relegation places AND not many points difference between these 7 clubs.

This from Sam Frost:
February 1, deadline day, 7.44pm: Oxford United announce the loan signing of striker Elliott Lee.
February 1, deadline day, 11pm: Oxford United announce the loan signing of forward Brandon Barker.
Who scored Oxfords 2 goals? Nothing more needs to be said.

Does Wael not understand the phrase 'familiarity breeds contempt'? Difficult to blame Tisdale for not signing a striker when the club has a Head of Recruitment. |

There are ALWAYS players around if you spend the time researching and phoning people in the business to check availability. Certainly must be better players than what we had here including both those signed by Oxford that you've mentioned. Its impossible for there not to be better players who were available. |

For me some of the youngsters are really good, such as Nicholson, Daly, McCormack, Nicholson, Westbrooke; there are other so called senior players which are awful, particularly Ehmer, Baldwin, Harries, Day, Leahy and Grant; Teflon Tisdale says he's not a magician which is true, he's definitely not a very good manager, if he cannot keep Rovers up then he should resign asap.
