Tonda still has credit with me. Needs to show he can recognise the problems and fix them. And i don't think that's an overnight fix. I'd like to see him backed a little in the transfer window. And hopefully we can offload some of the deadwood. But that may be unrealistic. Ultimate due to poor management prior and generally clueless ownership we are in a messy situation. But again, I don't blame Tonda for that. I hope he has the confidence to find his own voice and not just be a yes man. But we do not know what happens behind the scenes.. People just assume the worst.

I totally agree. Tonda has earned some credit and has shown that he can get a performance out of us. I think the squad is a bigger problem. Too much deadwood, players going through the motions. Lack of the right mentality. And yes, the manager can help with that.. but we are looking at some players here who it's ingrained too deep. Just need to get shot.

Just too much deadwood in this team. The likes of Romeu, Fraser and Archer coming off the bench isn't going to change a game at this level. It's just an expensive waste. We need to try and offload in January and bring in some new faces with pace. Can't see it happening though.

And there is is. 2-1 Oxford. Exactly what we deserve.

Robinson has looked bright at least.

Another training cone on. With Romeu, Fraser and Archer we are basically down 3 players.

Wow, we actually woke up for a few mins there. Unfortunately not enough.

We've completely lost our shape since the last sub. Nobody knows where they should be.

Aimless lump forward there after we won the ball back. We've got nothing in the middle or upfront now. Pinned by Oxford.

2 years ago, it'd be a good sub. But Fraser is broken since the Prem and legs have gone.

We're throwing on a training cone. Fraser for Fellows.

Yes I was waiting for him to be subbed on at one point till I realised he was already out there. He's been very quiet today.

Typical of our poorer days lately. Only going to be one winner here.

We're playing into their hands so far. Very little threat. Wasting lots of time with non-progressive football. Presenting them with shooting opportunities outside the box. They've done their homework. We are too rigid.

Yet our only option on the bench (Archer) is significantly worse.
