Away Match Day Thread 23/03/2021 L1 Northampton Town v OUFC

[Scotchegg]

I'll not be on here for a while, just got 1000 positive buses to put back in the garage!!!

Roll on Friday!!!

 

[Berliner]

F*cking diabolical from the front to the back. Nobody can put a positive spin on anything that happened between the line-ups and final whistle, nobody.

Difficult to see how within a week the same free-flowing bunch has been transformed into a sack of slow, idea-free, hand-waving, bitching divas.

A lot on Robinson's shoulders after that...as it should be. The players have to take a long, hard look at themselves as well. I don't mean the ones who genuinely tried (Atkinson, Forde, Agyei) or players like Grayson who have played twice all year, but the "senior" players who should know and do better...Brannagan a shadow of his former self, Gorrin diabolical, Barker, Shodipo, Taylor and Hanson all barely even there.

As a low income UK exile this season has been amazing. I've been to two games in 6 years (Wembley v Barnsley and Newport in the cup), so this year has been a dream getting to watch OUFC every single game rather than having to live with RadOx, or often nothing at all with work commitments. But for only the second time this season (Swindon ) I wish I hadn't bothered watching. Rubbish team selection, subs way too late, and a few players who just aren't good enough. We are completely bipolar; look like a championship team against Donny, then follow it up with 2 conference level performances. I wasn't pessimistic after Blackpool, but I am fairly certain that's season over now. A shame but I have still loved this season all the same.

it won't be his fault - not man enough to own his own mistakes

It’s the scouse in him...

 

[Pillox]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think Jamie Hanson might have been an expensive mistake.

 

[Oufcrealist]

I'm going to see @Malc but raise him one goal! 4 nil away win!! Winnall x 2, Agyei and Cam from distance!!!

Blimey, you're so bloody good at this. We should be promoted by now going by your predictions!!

 

[Wallop]

Who wants a shinny new ground with this sort of s**t being played

Me

 

[Manorlounger]

I have had enough of Robinson and his nonsense. That was just tactically inept. We still played the same s**t as per usual. Hoof it, throw it away. Waste free kicks. Passing was well, there was no passing just kick the ball somewhere, anywhere.

We are heading for a new era with a new stadium. Time for us to start afresh.

 

[Symp59]

That's got to be one big clear out Where are the goals coming from .Shocking Shocking Shocking . Cam wanders back then I know he tried so hard but then it's long ball after long ball. But we've struggled for a while so it wasn't a suprise. No system what so ever but the midfield is poor. It's a big summer for Karl .

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Absolutely pathetic. Football is a game of tactics and KR once again gets it spectacularly wrong. To play 2 DMs in front of a back 4 against a relegation threatened opponent is abysmal. Especially as it was proven just 7 days ago all out attack was successful.

Looks like the season is now parked, finishing as badly as it started. It all needs freshening up again. We need to start building now ready for next season. And that could involve a change of manager to get new ideas in place from game 1 next season rather than allow another KR slow start. It simply isn't working. Nowhere near good enough.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Get ready for the usual kr post match sh*te, everyone's fault bar himself, and the patronising of the fans. kr, tonight has let the fans down, and insulted Northampton with that selection. WTF was grayson doing on the pitch, total sh*te.
Three years of kr, and what exactly are we celebrating?

 

[battman]

Poor result tonight. I know Karl had to mix things up with so many games coming thick and fast - and the injuries haven't helped - but you'd expect better from the 11 players starting tonight. It seems like after we play ourselves into play-off contention we're getting knocked back with another bad performance and bad result. I think we'll finish just outside the play-offs this season.

One question the new board will have to ask themselves is whether they truly think Karl is the manager to get us into the top 30. I don't think he is.

 

[Bigfella72]

We were awful but how did we not win that against that shower.
still only 3 points of the play offs (dons hard hat )

Although Taylor has been pretty average for a while, its a little harsh to blame him tonight for what was little more than a cameo

 

[Archieyellow]

That’s what you get when you play your 2nd team, what a load of rubbish

 

[Hackney Jack]

f**k me that was bad. Robbo got literally every single thing wrong tonight.

 

[Mad Dog]

LOAD. OF. SHITE.

Um we had one shot on target 2nd half.

Negative Oxford s**t

At another club, three years of nothing, time for a change.
