Everyone has been terrible.

Forson looks a player though.

Sainz, sarge nunez especially have been so so bad.

We cant be this bad again though surely.

So much uncertainty at the moment it's going to take a few weeks before things turn imo.

Won’t take long for the home fans to turn if we play like this next Saturday. 

[Ken Hairy 4,349]

Is it me, or does Callum Doyle look a bit crap?

[Olano 111]

Not concerned, we are not going to get relegated. Long long season and we are building for the future. 

 

Almost falling asleep, but not concerned

Forson on at half-time, Kamara getting a go off the bench. I do wonder what Rowe's late pull-out did to the mindset of the team.

The new Brandon Williams 

[Virtual reality 885]

I might join Rowe and refuse to watch us. This is atrocious

I hope not!

[Capt. Pants 5,160]

Doyle having a shocker.

Just hope there isn't a must play clause in his loan.

Why do you say that? We are being made to look poor by Oxford. I would say we could easily go down if we play like this.

I think the problem is He's not a full back, he's played there previously sure, but he's just not a full back.

Yep I'm not gonna panic simple. 

When you say panic what do you mean? People panic if they’re in an aeroplane which is plummeting to the ground. People panic if a mad man broke into their house at night wielding a gun. 
 

I don’t think people panic at being beaten by Oxford in the first game of the season. Maybe angered by it. Frustrated perhaps. Resigned even. I don’t think panic is a human emotion people are feeling watching this game.

I think most people are disappointed that everything they thought pre-season is coming to fruition. People like yourself are desperately trying to cling to the Farke parallel. And you think/hope that by next season we would have got promoted playing great football having sold our best players and replaced them with youngsters. 
 

Maybe that will happen but it’s unlikely.

We were told Doyle was coup- he’s been awful 

Rather have Mrs Doyle . 

[rock bus 1,115]

The only hope so far is that Forson looks decent, sure we’ll soon knock that out of him!

Don't be so sure, we all thought the same back in 2009. 

[unique 466]

Doyle will be parting ways with his agent later tonight.

[jaberry2 802]

Doyle showing all elements of having no pre season with us and shoehorned into the team

[Rich T The Biscuit 695]

Wonder how much Forson is worth,, may need to sell him to generate some transfer funds 😆

[A K Narey 258]

Sargent is worryingly anonymous today.

[Keith Scott 295]

Even though Rowe is a ****. Can't blame him for wanting out. He can see better than most where this club is headed.

All the best.

Big Keith Scott.

[baldy09 200]

We left things late in the transfer front and still waiting for more to sign players wanting to leave- this has left a disorganized team that requires a lot of work from our coaches . I believe its going to be the second half of the season when we start to see change if any- this is going to test us all -and will we have the patience to believe change will happen- testing times

Cordoba/Chrisene/shift Doyle centrally. 2-3 players still to come in

I imagine this is quite different to the XI we’d have hoped to play, but all the players are first teamers and should be much, much better.

Only a few of the Oxford players would get into our team but they’ve shown desire and an attitude sorely missing from us.

It’s almost a repeat of the first game at Cardiff from a couple of years ago. Edit though that was after a fairly good preseason.

Mainly due to an non existent midfield

Not concerned about relegation but I don’t see us building for the future. It’s not really possible. To get better you need better players simple. For that you need to keep you’re best ones and replace the others and we don’t have the cash for either.

Peoples hopes appear to be on the manager getting us to play such good football we blow the league away. Im Not so sure.

We have players to win games, when they get som confidence they will do ok.

Can you go with him?!?

[Dean Coneys boots 1,550]

He’s has no service. Our midfield is powder puff with exception of poor Forson who must wonder what he’s just done 

[Capt. Pants 5,160]

Finally a shot on target

It will be a slow start to the season for sure. Hopefully they can get a handle on this swiftly

Congratulations the board- you have turned us into a league one side.
