Darren Moore has to go this is last chance saloon the next 2 games ...bring in NT till the end of the season .

No way Oxford deserved that but we are the team that keeps on giving!! For the first half it was as good as the Plymouth performance and then we just ran out of steam. We didn't close them down like we were and our wingbacks disappeared from the game so we couldn't spread the play which has worked for us so well.

Cant defend from set pieces all season, yet nothing ever changes.
Hopefully this Storey lad will be in for Johnson next week.
The Clown wont do anything, we are stuck with DM until the end of the season

Ipswich
Morecambe
Burton
Wigan
Rotherham
I can only see 7pts from the next possible 15pts at best.
We desperately need coaches that can actually coach players in the basics of football.
Players out of position does not work for us, I can't understand the persistence on it.
RE: Oxford Utd V The Owls L1 Match Thread - Imre varadi - 22-01-2022
We might get 9pts at a push and probably our best but it still won't be enough to keep up with 6th place.

Really bitter pill to swallow after scoring two good goals.
Our finishing is so poor, as is the defending.
Moore is an ex CB so why he can't resolve the issue defensive heading and marking from set pieces is beyond me. The defending is consistently bad, so bad there's no way it's being worked on in training. The same can be said of our finishing, garbage.
He persists on his one dimensional system to suit all challenges and it doesn't work like that.
Even Karl Robinson saw his formation wasn't working in the first half and changed it to suit.
The need for proper coaching is astounding at this level and for a club such as ours it's frankly embarrassing.
The players show absolutely no improvement in basic areas necessary for football.
If this man doesn't change the system or even start playing a fking CB instead of a winger in defence then this Club is going to continue to slide backwards, as it has done consistently since the Hull loss at Wembley

I think the forwards need to take more of the blame. How many games this season should we have been out of sight at HT? Yesterday we were excellent in the first half and should have been 2, maybe 3 up and we have seen that a few times this season. We have to be more clinical in front of goal, not talking half chances, I am talking genuine chances for our forwards, if we did it would completely take the pressure off the defence.
I think the makeshift defence has done remarkedly well considering who we have had missing, but the forwards should be our first line of defence by getting the ball forward whenever possible, we did that against Plymouth and in the first half yesterday but lost our way halfway through the second half yesterday. I would expect the new kid Story to come in to defence next game.

Yesterday's game most certainly. It's a game we should have won 4-3. The finishing was awful in truth despite the two well worked goals.
It looked to me like two of their goals were from Johnson's man sloppily marked and unchallenged for the header or left to run in space.
We are a short team in stature with no real strength in the air.
We were unlucky and robbed. Even Robinson said we should have had a penalty when Hunt was brought down.
I just don't see all this supposed work that Moore harps on about in training transitioning itself on to the pitch. Shooting drills and set pieces to defend don't seem apparent.
