They were both great again, but what I didn’t get was that most of Oxfords set pieces were lofted to the back post, bypassing our centre halves, and they had a free header time and time again. Couldn’t understand why we didn’t attempt to sort it by putting wright or Anderson there.

There was a man on the back of the pack to deal with the ball over the pack and the striker only managed to win one which Dieng had no difficulty collecting. I'm sure had we done as you suggest it would have played straight into their hands and the ball would have been put right in the mixer with us minus one of our CBs.
It’s only a few days ago that people were moaning about the manager putting Cameron John at left back, for that very reason. Can’t win, managers, can they?
yes equal 3rd best But we are 9 th best at scoring.

To be fair, last seasons goals for tally was inflated by five against Rochdale.

Also comparing 21 games to first 21 last season.We had won 10. Drawn 5. Lost 6. GF 34. GA 26 points 35This year won 8 drawn 7 lost 6. GF 31. GA 23 points 31 (GF inflated by 7 at Southend)So for people who believes DM not doing it then look at that with a squad that is not as good especially in forward areas.

The main three goal threats last season we're Marquis, Wilks and probably Rowe. Sadlier and Taylor can somewhat cover the numbers for the latter 2 but we still have a hole up front and Ennis is decent but he won't get us 25 or even 15. We'd probably be in the play-offs with a goalscorer.
