Couple that with your nearest two back up forward players (Stevens and Morris) who were normally at least 35 yards away from Atieno, and neither were remotely able to go past an opposing player meant that we wouldn't have scored if we had been playing until this time tomorrow.
In fact it is diffuicult to see us scoring against Plymouth either - if they score one we will lose.
On the plus side our defence looked really solid - thank god Saah got himself injured because Ellis was outstanding.
Oxford looked more likely winners at the end and hit the bar twice so we were lucky to get a point in the end.

Funny how he now does what he used to mock me for doing....

It sounded like abject surrender from start to finish.
Howe pulling the old pros trick so he could get the xmas and new year off is equally appalling.
Having watched the Barnet game I was impressed with Howe in the second half but in all honesty I am not sure about the formations we play - Howe seems completely isolated and most times the ball seems to come straight back when it goes forward - possibly a reason why we seemed to be under pressure most of the time.
Its a big loss though especially for the Plymouth match and points could be thin on the ground over the coming couple of weeks.
