How you doing now? Still feeling patient? 

Yep I'm not gonna panic simple. 

[ged in the onion bag 964]

We really have nothing going for us if he’s bringing Idah and Sorensen on.    What a shambles.   

[unique 466]

Not one Norwich player within ten yards…..

Abject.

[Ken Hairy 4,335]

It's all good, I've got Oxford on SkyBets Match 5 👍😃

"Trust the process. It's a rebuild. We never expected promotion anyways."

 

Repeat until happy

This is pathetic.

Defence literally just watched the ball roll past them to Branagan.

Double change and yet neither are hills or Kamara. 

We need reinforcements urgently.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,835]

Sorensen for Hanley 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[S_81 1,138]

Hoff should have taken Hanley off at half time. Weak management.

[Ken Hairy 4,335]

Hopefully that's the last we'll see of Hanley in a City shirt

[jaberry2 798]

Hanley doesn't look happy. Tough, as he's been poor

[Mason 47 2,024]

The spectre of Wagnerball still haunts this side. Lots of opportunity to move the ball forward at pace being passed up for a safe turn back 

[Dean Coneys boots 1,550]

Doyle has been garbage. 

Hoff & knapper out of their depth

old guard totally past it 

young players not good enough 

Only forson shows signs of hope 

[canarydan23 4,823]

Hanley passing the captain's armband to McLean basically sums us up right now.

[7HAR1980 137]

Hanley couldn't believe he was coming off! Laughable. 

[Channon’s Windmill 428]

YESSSSSSS ! First positive of the day, manager has finally realised Hanley is Sh@te.

[cambridgeshire canary 7,932]

Hanley looking like he's about to deck someone

The fact is the most of the fan base promised patience, after 20 mins that had elapsed, albeit of seeing some of the same rubbish we saw last season. 4 or so more players to be integrated to this team currently playing with Cordoba, Chrisene, Forson and a couple of others to add. Plus it probably didn't help Rowe showing complete disrespect to all of his teammates by not playing. Always expect a promoted team to play well against a team learning the ropes in transition. Look at Leeds losing to Portsmouth (or were at least last time I looked).

Maybe because we were promised it would be different, and youth would get a chance, yet here we are with virtually the same old rubbish as last season

[baldy09 200]

Good job we are not playing at home the atmosphere would be dreadful

[Capt. Pants 5,152]

Hanley has been shocking to be fair.

Well done JHT for calling it out.

I’m not panicking, I’m furious that this is being allowed to happen for so long, and fans like you are causing and supporting this.

Lay himself out like he did in the first half 

[TheGunnShow 7,470]

If an opposing midfielder has half of ****ing Oxfordshire to pick his spot then the first question for me is "what the heck are the midfielders doing?"

[S_81 1,138]

To every one of you clowns that told me how good Hanley still is. That performance is for you.

Idah may be on his way to Celtic but at least he is prepared to play today.

[The Real Buh 3,802]

The cruise ship is finally in port I see

Unfortunately doubt that. 

I don't think I'm going to be able to get past the fact that hills looked our best defender in pre season. Yet our " youth focused " new head coach won't play him!!!! 

Annoyingly because I really WANT to like JHT.

Scotlands manager looming above Hanley watching him breaking down like a super villan 🤣

Gsus wept; the state of this thread. It's the first half of the first game of the season under a new manager and it's already doom and gloom time for some of you. 

I don't shy away from being critical of the club when I need to but come on boys and girls...ffs. Some of you are just being completely pathetic at the mo.

OTBC

I think it’s more apathy and resignation. We have a weaker squad than last year and no money to improve it. 
 
Everyone’s obsessed with the idea of possession football and getting promoted that way.

Too many people are trying to draw parallels to Farke. Mid table this season and by next season we’ll win the league playing tiki taka with kids and free transfers.

But do you honestly believe that? 
 

We’re playing exactly how i thought we would. We’re a bottom half championship side with one exceptional player (Sargent) who probably knows he could better himself

Trying to play a style of football we don’t have players to play and no money to change them.

We all know a clean sweep is needed but while to many of the old guard remain on and off the pitch, League 1 beckons.
