Away Match Day Thread 15/04/2022 L1: Fleetwood Town v OUFC

[bazzer9461]

Play well and lose and the usual posters are out saying that possession, xG etc mean nothing - it's all about the result.

Win today and the exact same lot are moaning about the performance!

Well it was a s**t performance in the 2nd half, sometimes you have to come down of your throne thinking you are lauding it over us and admit great 1st half but we were shut 2nd half and could easily have walked away with won point if not no points.
Just admit something once in a while it doesn’t hurt to be honest.

It's insane to think that we could end up with 81 points this season and still not make the play offs. That's the amount Blackpool got last season.

Ridiculously high standard

 

[Marked Ox]

I will say I reckon Sunderland will win the play offs. On a winning run and getting the luck on their side.

I think so too. Anyone but the team managed by that scruffy bloke down the road

Possible but unlikely - I don’t think we’ll get 81, but if we did I reckon we’d scrape 6th place.

Totally agree it's a massive ask. What's the highest total for a team to not get in the play offs I wonder? Because it could be broken this season by someone.

 

[Paul Cannell]

True, but that's what the defensive coaching is for, to get the defensive elements, including the midfield, working in unison,

Well, I'd be in favour of it.

Yes we won today, but let's not kid ourselves, we need a miracle, and there has to be a MAJOR focus in the summer, on the player recruitment, in defence and midfield, and the overall defensive coaching methods, as it's cost us, again.

And up front.

Could be a ridiculously low standard below the top 8, of course.

Sounds like Henry's injury is absolutely horrific. Not the nose that's broken but the skull above the nose! Never mind this season, an injury like that could end his career - although the fact he wasn't immediately rushed to hospital is hopefully a good sign?

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Was it us playing well or them not turning up in the first 20mins.
We were rocking as soon as they put us under any sort of pressure after that.
The reason why we won’t make it for all to see.

 

[Concretebob]

I wonder how Kips BBQ is going?

Says who? Taylor could easily have had two goals, if he had what would have his rating been?

The fact that he's got Brown as 5 and Sykes as 8 tells you sll you need to know!!

Must have watched on ceefax!!

If we lose, but played well and didn't deserve to lose, people will acknowledge that, but the stats mean nothing, we could've had 50 shots on goal, but not scored and lost.

If we win, but played badly and didn't deserve to win, people will acknowledge that, but the stats mean nothing, we could've had one shot on goal, but scored it and won.

On balance, we just about deserved to win today, but we were poor for most of the game, and could easily have lost, and a lot of that was due to the same problems that have plagued us all season, regardless of the stats.

For once, why don't you give an honest assessment of our performance, instead of running around, with you fingers in your ears, attacking anyone who criticises the team or the manager?

Were you this overprotective of Clotet, and his bunch of misfits?

Pretty well thanks Bob. Good conversation, good beer and the chicken cooked excellently..not quite KFC standard but not bad!

My friend at the game texted "utter shite after the first 20" so I never got the feeling I was missing out.
