'A' BOLA.

I wasn't all that impressed either. He did some things well but was exposed badly a few times too, was often too quick to slide in during the 2nd half and cost us a goal through naivety.

I saw enough to think he's got the potential to be a good player, but I thought today wasn't his day. I'm astonished that the majority seem to think he starred.

The fact Lee Brown isn't in the team disappoints me.

I thought Ellis was a real handful for their defence. Nicholls just is too light weight and I really can't see him being the answer. I thought it was a good game for 70 mins or so with two teams giving it a real go. We were better in the first half but Oxford were better in the second half. I think it was Broadbent's fault for the goal with a poor pass, however, there were a few of our players who seems to slip on the grass on a regular basis that caused us problems at the back. On another day we might have won. Tough games over the next week. Let's hope we can get at least one good result.

Can we stop being nice about Ellis, Westcountrygas will never return!

I'd personally like to see Bola play left wing in front of Brown, if we're playing 4-4-2 that's our best option IMO.

He had the same problem last time I saw him, that time I thought it was, in part, because he was on the wrong side, and I agree, the pitch was too wet for the length of grass, but that doesn't explain his clearances going straight out for throws and his crosses being so poor.

I thought we had some professional bloke managing pitch preparation now, surely he phones the manager well in advance to find out what's wanted for each game?

Either way, I thought Bola was poor, I don't remember Lee Brown having a worse game.

I can only really go on the first half when he played in front of me. I thought his clearances out were because he had no other options. It was safety first & broke their attacks up. But it's all opinions of course.
