Away Match Day Thread 21/5/2021 Playoff L1 Blackpool FC V OUFC

[Concretebob]

Well an embarrassing end to what's been a decent and enjoyable season.

Plenty to be positive about and the points that need addressing are obvious to all.

Hoping for big seasons from Sykes, Agyei and Atkinson. They are more than capable.

Embarrassing?! How? We held our own against a team better than us tonight.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Blackpool fans en masse turned out to be arrogant idiots. The ones who came on here seemed decent enough, but I hope they f**k it up now.

 

[psquared]

HAVE WE SIGNED ANYBODY YET?

Marcus Mcguane.

 

[greatunclekip]

Outclassed, tactically abysmal, but i predicted a relegation battle, we made the playoffs, i was delighted to be proved wrong. A totally bizarre season..

 

[McXal]

Solid effort tonight. So happy we put in a performance like that in the last half of the season so the gloss isn’t taken off how well we’ve done this year.

Big summer ahead for a number of reasons...

 

[Symp59]

Brilliant effort 10/10 great season a great core of a team 6 fantastic signings and who knows next year. It's great being at the right end of the league . Bye Bye Swindon Swindon bye bye.

Good game and decent performance. Not quite good enough in the end but theres no shame in that. Really enjoyable season, big virtual clap to Karl and the boys. Look forward to August, COYY!

I don't think a 3-3 away draw against a team that last conceded on 24th of April is an embarrassing end.

Onwards and upwards. Robinson you need to get you act together if you are staying.
Get Barker that plane ticket back to Scotland, I will give him a lift to the airport if needed.
Get Ruffles a one way bus ticket to wherever he is going to.
Get Henry a yearly golf membership so he can retire quietly somewhere.
Lee can go back to classy Luton, no thanks.

If we can get rid of the deadwood and overrated players that we bought in and get some business done early, we might do well next year.

It’s up to KR now I give him until Christmas if the team starts like we did last season he needs to go we can’t do the play off we need top two

Totally agree mate. Facemasks and social distancing non existent.

I would laugh my B*****s off if they fucked it up v Lincoln

 

[Manorlounger]

Hurrah! Hurrah! We got a draw! Hurrah!

 

[QR]

Shows everything about the character of the Blackpool defenders that 2 minutes from Wembley they still want to start a fight and risk getting sent off.

Or... they're game played us for 180 minutes and were allowed to get away with it.

 

[Marked Ox]

They gave it a go. Not to be.

 

[Manorlounger]

I think these two matches have summed up a Karl Robinson side for me. A bad start with the players not looking like they know what to do. Then a spirited fightback later on, but still the disorganisation creeps in from time to time. And whilst passion's in abundance we're always playing catch up, and it's not enough to turn things around. At the end there's always the feeling of 'what if we started more like this?'.

I've not been shy in calling for Karl to go. He's not going to, but I hope the end to the campaign has showed what I mean. People will always use the lines 'but he got us into two play-offs' and 'he's overachieving with the budget he has', but if this club wants to make it into the Championship I think we have to look at someone else.

Karl will be in charge come the start of the next season, but the question is, will the majority of fans tolerate him and his premiership if he starts off a fourth full season with us poorly?

Well, I won't, for a start.

 

[Concretebob]

McGuane two weeks ago?

Think you've misquoted me mate!

 

[Yellows1]

Well done Oxford, you’ve done us proud, thoroughly enjoyable season, build for top 2 next year, defence clearly needs strengthening.

Our budget is higher then Lincoln's and probably on par with Blackpool. It was his tactics and not playing Agyei and Shodipo from the start tonight that annoyed me.

Give him 10 games in to the new season and anything other then top 8 he has to go.

 

[Concretebob]

I just wish the sky presenter had had the guys to ask Jimmy how many goals he'd shipped d against Oxford, ,,,particularly when he was slashing us off

I think you'll find it's -

1
2
3
4

I guess it will be interesting to see what happens in the play-off final. If Blackpool mince Lincoln or Sunderland 5 nil then I might feel a bit better. If they lose I'll be more disappointed in our result.
