As to Riggers' point 5, what a powder puff challenge from our no 4, Luke Hyam. No real effort to block the shot. Waved a token leg. Disgraceful.
Thought Smith looked awful, does Lee Harrison supply the Bostik that glues his keepers to the line?.....if that was Oxley we'd have crucified him!

Possibly because it wasn't the best game ever.Well, you would have. "We" wouldn't have.
These are the worst highlights ever.
I'm not doubting that you would have crucified Oxley given the chance (I'm a little surprised you didn't try and blame him anyway), but can you please specify what moment you are referring to him being stuck to his line in the highlights?
Was it the opening goal when the ball looped over him?
Was it when he came and punched away a cross on the edge of his 6 yard box?
Was it the one where he came out to about level with the penalty spot and narrowed the angle and they shot wide?
Was it when he failed to get on the end of Theo Robinson's cross following a well worked free-kick?
First goal was an easy tip over.....the punch where he sent it the wrong way for a corner....the one on one where he made himself into half a target rather than standing up .....the cross from the right that was inviting it to be claimed and cut out by a confident keeper.....sorry but thought he looked all at sea, to be expected maybe after so long out but not great imo!
I think his footwork could probably have been sharper for the first goal but hardly surprising he was rusty 90 seconds into his comeback after 18 months out but you were complaining about him being glued to his line. How does coming off his line help there when the ball loops over him?
You complain about him being glued to the line then complain about him coming for a cross where he had to leave the 6 yard box.
You then complain about him being too small when he again came off his line and put the forward off.
Is your issue that Lee Harrison is only using Bostik and not something more adhesive?
I won't ask what you are sniffing.
He was slow to come off his line.No question about that.Clearly he thought about it and decided not to.That's why they scored so easily.
