That’s a complete shock taking Dion off for Ndloopy The Shrews back line panic every time he gets the ball
I fear the next goal will be theirs Silly pointless substitution of Dion, proving once again that Evatt is stupid

That was a real grind.
We deserved to win but it was hard work.
The central defenders and keeper did well.
Maghoma and Sheehan did well too.
But it was definitely hard work but 3 points is what matters.

Is playing like they do in the first half an Evatt tactic? Anyhow, great to watch SOME attacking football before the final whistle.

Do Shrewsbury always only ever use half of that field for a pitch or was a tactic for us. Seemed like 11 a side game played on a five a side pitch especially first half.
We were miles better. And deserved but it was hard work. As ever we had 40 passes and created as much as they did when they strung 4 together.
Also our killer goal at the end came from a good long throw from Randell. If they're going to narrow the pitch so much to thier advantage why not turn the table and have him use his throw. He could hit the back post.
Mostly positive good/great games for Baxter, Santos, Jones, Toal(MoM), Sheehan, Magoma and Thomason. Decent Williams(looked like he had a knock) and JDC (wasn't really a game for wing backs)
But poor performance from Adeboyejo. Really poor. Charles huffed and puffed should have buried the chance even before he scuffed his chance. But Victor. Not a player. Argued that his hat trick skewed his stats. Guys not a striker.

Just reading the comments on the BN live thread and there’s excitement of Oxfords possible demise if Liam Manning joins Bristol City!!!! Not always the case. Didn’t stop Plymouth getting better and even getting promoted when they lost Ryan Lowe to Preston, so OU losing Manning won’t necessarily help our cause, we have to do the business ourselves and judging by the first 30 minutes tonight, I’m not so sure 🤔🤔 Come on BOLTON Give us a goal⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ True but Ainsworth was Wymcombes only hope(may be again). It might not be the case but no one plans to or wants to lose thier manager in November. So you'd have to say its a negative for them, therefore positive for everyone else.

A hard working victory.
Very little flair – just a solid grind which we eventually deserved to win but it was a hard watch.
The first half, we had 1 shot which Adeboyejo messed up and they had numerous corners which caused little trouble,
We passed the ball about at the back and they would not be sucked in so it finished up as walking football.
Second half was heading the same way when Shrews keeper copied the Wycombe keeper from the other week and allowed Maghoma’s average shot to slip through his arms into the net.
Thomason then set Charles up for a clear run on goal but he screwed his shot wide and then Thomason and Dacres-Cogley combined for a hard cross which Nlundulu or their full back managed to flick onto the line but somehow the ball stayed out.
In between, Shrewsbury offered little. They had a couple of half chances but Santos and Co had control.
The referee amazingly found 9 minutes of extra time and Shrewsbury pressed but in the 8th minute of extra time a bit of quick thinking between Williams and Bodvarsson from a throw in set Bodvarsson clear down the left. He cut into the box, found Nlundulu who rolled the ball to Morley to score well.
As I say, a hard watch with little quality football but a deserved win – well done
Marks:-
Baxter - 7 Did really well. Only really tested on long shots but was there to pick up lots of loose balls
Dacres-Cogley - 6 It was a struggle to get forward but he did OK
Jones - 6 Injured. Before the injury, he did most things well
Santos - 8 Strong and dominant as ever. Had a bit of bother late on when they brought a sub striker on.
Toal - 7 Good again. Just a couple of times when he was caught out but overall good
Williams - 6 Like Dacres-Cogley, it was difficult to get forward
Thomason - 6 A great pass to put Charles through but mainly it was a bit of a struggle
Maghoma - 7 Good. Got a lot of the ball and used it well
Sheehan - 7 Likewise, he did well also. It was difficult to break Shrewsbury’s packed defence down
Adeboyejo - 5 Shot over from 15 yards out when he should have done better. His ball control still leaves a lot to be desired
Charles - 6 Very busy. Chased the Shrews defence well. Missed his only chance when one on one with the keeper
Forester - 6 Very steady when he replaced Jones
Nlundulu - 5 Did well to roll the ball to Morley for the 2nd goal but he looked lost
Bodvarsson - 6 Set up the 2nd goal well. He has the ability to hold the ball up which is sadly missing in our other forwards
Morley - 6 Took his goal well

(Dream on Rioch)

Rioch, you’re very hard to please. 😉
We’re sitting joint second in the league, have scored more goals than anyone but Barnsley who benefitted from their opening day 7-0 demolition of Port Vale, and still have a game in hand on most below us. That doesn’t really indicate stupidity to me so please explain why you believe Evatt is? There are things I don’t like about what he does but whatever it is it’s working. In reality only the Wigan game was a catastrophe. Against Reading, Burton and Carlisle, we had more than enough opportunities to finish all of those games with 3 points but for whatever reason, not Evatt’s for me, we didn’t. Sometimes things just go like that and I’m sure over the course of the season others will too but also for Oxford and Pompey. In fact Pompey I think have just been very, very fortunate so far and I don’t believe they’re a great team from what I’ve seen so far and though I know scoring last minute goals can be considered a positive it can also be considered lucky. Give Evatt his due, we’re improving every game from what I can see and now we have a near full squad back even substitutions aren’t having a negative effect. I’m fully behind him and I trust him to deliver this year and whilst I might also be setting myself up for a fall with that I’ll take my chances. 🤗

He thinks he can get a tune out of Adeboyejo 2. He keeps making pointless subs at the wrong time 3. He opens his mouth with drivel 4. He hung on far too long with his ‘fantastic prospect’ Shoretire, thinking he could make him the next Messi 6. Cameron Jerome was a terrible move 7. The ‘no sub goalie’ will catch him out one day 8. His dealings with Sarc and Dapo 9. He has to get rid of the deadwood players in January and sign a striker with goals in him, but he won’t as he doesn’t want to be proved wrong in the strike force we have. 10. We currently sit in the ‘box seat’ and if that changes come end of season, that’ll be his fault
