Great goal. Theo has always looked better on the left for me, is an excellent crosser of the ball.

I'd have put odds of 50-1 against on Ruel scoring our first goal of the season.
Finally, Theo puts in a decent cross.

As gshaw said, Ruel is barely League Two standard.

This team is more than beatable, but more directness and get the ball forward a little quicker less poncing in midfield

Except the striker we brought in to do that didn’t start . What’s the problem with him ?Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:25 pm This team is more than beatable, but more directness and get the ball forward a little quicker less poncing in midfield

Pretty good first half all things consider. Brown and El Miz are bossing midfield. Wycombe sat off us for the first half an hour and allowed us a lot of the ball and we had no cutting edge. Then, for some reason, they decided to press us which led to space in behind and we scored. Really well worked goal and well taken. Scoreline is about right but we need to sort out our passive defending and Howes handling worries me.

Lovely finish for the goal
Wycombe are very beatable here, Smyth would've torn these apart
It's not about that though, the system needs to create chances regardless of who is in the front three
Silly yellow by Brown, a player who loves getting stuck in

We don’t know if we can rely on him until we see how he plays . How the fcuk can our players keep getting easily injured like thisMonkey Boy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:35 pmI have no idea but we shouldn’t be relying on just one player?RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:28 pmExcept the striker we brought in to do that didn’t start .

People will be saying we didn’t defend the cross into the box which is true but for the third game running we’ve aloud them to get the cross in again

Very good first half and a confident performance from the O's. Got to raise their game in the box. Nothing's finding Piggott and too many crosses are not beating the first man. Our goal showed us what can happen with a decent cross.

Moncur looks like he picked up an injury at the end of the half. Absolute disasterclass start to the season fitness wise.
On the performance, we look defensively so suspect. I still think once we get attackers back and fit, things will click up there given the platform the midfield provides - Brown has looked particularly excellent tonight. But Beckles has major Mackie in 2006 vibes going on, Howes looks shaky as f*ck so far and James is so lackadaisical on the ball.
Very tight game, I think Wycombe will sneak an annoying 2-1 win.

Pigott looks very isolated again and hardly in the game
Hard to believe that Forde is already injured FFS

That’s what I’m beginning to feel as well. I have no confidence in our defence and Beckles is looking very suspect.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:44 pm Moncur looks like he picked up an injury at the end of the half. Absolute disasterclass start to the season fitness wise.

Sod being Ling tomorrow he’ll be on the phone looking for a keeper , centre back,winger and two strikers

The goal was a simple ball over the top from Happe for Theo to cross.
If we lose Theo to injury we really are f*cked as we don't have another player in the squad who can take on a full back.

CB and new loan Keeper should be enough . Strikers are ok if they can stay fit for longer than 5 minutes,Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:51 pm Sod being Ling tomorrow he’ll be on the phone looking for a keeper , centre back,winger and two strikers
