Surely if we win every single game in the season 1-0 we will go up as champions and have as good a goals scored tally as a relegated team so I don't get the point in posts about it. Quite if we didn't concede a goal all season and managed to score every game the brain of britain declares we will go up as champions and when we do go a whole season without conceding then i wont post about our poor striking. Unfortunately we do concede goals so this fanciful scenario isn't really worth considering (so far more than 1 per game). If we don't score and draw every game and we have the most stonking defense in not just the league but the whole world conceding nil goals all season we probably go down on 46 points. We have a scoring issue (the goals for in the league table doesn't lie) and Mapp needs to deal with it. Do people really forget the baron run of goalscoring over christmas just because we can put 3 past a second string and rather uncommitted newcastle team whom their own fans were shouting abuse at at full time? As i say we aren't a bad side but our goal scoring is one of the worst in the division.

As i say we aren't a bad side but our goal scoring is one of the worst in the division. As posted in another thread, we have plenty of attempts and have plenty on target, the conversion however is poor. We are currently at 23% of opportunities on target converted to goals...the second worst in the league behind Oldham. That being said it has improved from 20% at the end of 2016! The strategy should be clear, put Hemmings in the middle of the 6 yard box, provide low crosses from the wide areas and reap the rewards

Do people really forget the baron run of goalscoring That's a nice name, but I don't remember him. I do remember Baron von Richthofen though. And John Paul Getty was often called an 'oil baron' although I don't think he was really a noble.

Not directly blaming Dunkley for the second goal as I don't know who should have been marking sub. Theo Robinson. Dunks certainly can have a look at himself for the first goal. I think he's been playing well snd I rate him but he was poor v Southend as were two or three others. We move on. Indeed we move on but I thought the first goal Nelson wasn't very tight with the onrushing defender or lunny who lost his man tracking back, look at the highlights and see lunny loose his man as he gets drawn towards the ball and lets the eventual goal-scorer angle his run unopposed towards the near post. Chey may have made a mistake early in the play but oxford had 5 defenders at least behind the ball I certainly hold him less responsible than the left back or the left sided central defender of Nelson who allowed a player to run into his near post. That is a defensive miss-hap to concede from there. Phil edwards might be disappointed too with his challenge for the second.

Very interesting (if disappointing given the who scored both!) Is this goal cam a 'thing' for all our games now?

24 teams in this division.... 2 teams go up, 4 sides battle it out for the 3rd promotion place, 4 go down which leaves 16 clubs in what we effectively call "mid table" either striving to get into the playoffs or looking over their shoulders at the trap door.... We are one of those 16 clubs striving for more however as Micheal Appleton states, "reach the 50 point mark first so you don't go down and then look at how many games are left to push to further up the league"...... This week 7 years ago we played Histon at the Kassam, this Saturday we play Middlesbrough in the 5th round of the FA cup, we have improved every inch of our club. It took us 5 seasons to get out of non league football , it then took us another 6 years to build a team good enough to leave League 2 behind, it will probably take a similar period of time again to even consider further progress, as said earlier, 23 other teams want the same thing.......

Apologies for being *that* guy but it was four seasons in non league, no? It just felt like longer.

Last time I looked the league table was calculated on points obtained either from a win or a draw not how many goals a team has scored unless you are level on points that is..... I prefer to look at it as - at least we arent S***don or any of the others who are looking nervously at the table and the amount of games left. Each to their own opinions and thoughts, half full/half empty it's down to you to see what you see. Ps I came second in the brain of Britain last year thanks for asking

Without the overlapping fullbacks you restrict the ability to get behind teams on the flanks, double up on their fullbacks and provide those crosses for the strikers.

This thread made me smile. We haven't had the best season after a stuttering start. But Mapp and co have got the team playing some good entertaining football. We have a great chance of going to Wembley... again, we have a cup tie against a premiership team tomorrow, we're all but safe in league 1 for next season and finally it looks like we might get some movement on the stadium. Things are looking good for us for the time being... let's enjoy it. We played some great football in the first half and should've been 1 or 2 up going into half time. Then it's a different game. On another day we'd have taken 3 points. We won't win every game so heads up, move on and COYY
