By a truly awful ref who really wasn't fit to referee! Very soft red for Ollie, walking back to the car there was a group of Oxford fans behind saying it wasn't a red. Clear penalty at the end turned down. Lot's of cheating from Oxford (stopping us taking free kicks and playacting) and the ref did nothing about it.

That penalty decision really is the worst I have ever seen.

Quality miming of the referee. These things balance out over a season though & I expect this will be the same this season

I've actually changed my mind. If the ref hasn't given the penalty because he thinks he got the ball then he's plainly wrong and he should've given it.
If he didn't give it because he didn't think it was a foul then I'd have agreed. I still think Bodin's collapse did us no favours.

Really poor decision.

It's like the conference is coming back to haunt us with the standard of refereeing in that match. We were by far the better side and that w****r cost us the game.

Their defender struck the player, not the ball, and therefore it's a penalty. End of.

The ref's interpretation obviously had no bearing on the matter, which is why he gave a corner. End of.

A goal that was stuck so well did that. We had more of the ball, regardless of the red and we just couldn't score. We are in need of that something special in front of goal. Thing is I can't see us bringing anyone in. Unless we get more chances I think we will be, at best, mid table. We are playing neat football but we need goals. I know it's stating the obvious but there you go

I know it's stating the obvious but there you go I think to an extent it is true. That is not to detract from their goal, it was well executed and there was nothing Chapman could have done about it. However, the majority of the big decisions in that game went unjustly against us and I can't help but feel the outcome (probably a draw at best) would have been very different if it wasn't for the terrible refereeing. If you look on the Oxford forum the majority of their own fans feel they didnt deserve a win today. I agree with you about the lack of firepower though. I know he's still not 100% but I was hopeing that Easter would tear this league a new one. I'm still holding out hope that he'll find form because as you said I don't see us bringing anyone else in.

Personally, from what I've seen so far this season I think we can make the playoffs. Oxford arent a bad side who will be pushing for promotion - I thought we edged it today but were undone by a couple of dodgy decisions and a wonder goal.

I'm not sure it's a prolific striker we need. They just get sold.
Perhaps it's about adjusting to a higher level and finding the situations which get you goals.
Muzzy was a wonder winger, not even a striker. A striker in form would be gone by Xmas

I think the issue with our attacking is that Easter doesn't yet have the match fitness / confidence to run at defences. At the moment he's turning back and laying the ball off, so we tend to develop down the wings (which I think we're very good at, but need variety). I think ellis should definitely start with him, and then we wait/hope they'll develop a partnership (we see flashes of it with a couple of times easter has played harrison in on the edge of the box). The whole reason for playing 2 up front is to have that understanding and interplay - the sum is more than its parts.
Cureton and Roberts, Walker and Lambert - its no coincidence that our best years coincide with our best striking partnerships. I think that an Easter/Harrison partnership is starting to develop - why loan in a new striker and go back to the drawing board?
