Home Match Day Thread 26/12/23: L1 - OUFC v Cambridge

[Northstandboy]

As I said in the build up thread, we need a good performance and result in front of a big crowd.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

They do if you want to get promoted Steve.

There are another 72 points to play for Kip. We can still get promoted while losing a few on the way.
It is unrealistic to expect us to win every game we play.

That said, today is a game that we should be winning and I think we will.

I'd just like us to win a couple Steve.

What you don't want , is the crowd turning up today & we're get given another p**s poor show...

 

[RgYellows]

0-19 today.

Des doesn’t use a pre-match interview to say how s**t Harris is.

No strikers signed by full time.

Queue at KFC on the way home.

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

You just know what's going to happen today.
In front of a bumper crowd. At home. Against a team much lower down the table. A team we're supposed to beat which sends everyone home happy for the festivities.
Very rarely goes to plan.

 

[Peterdev]

If Harris doesn’t score today I’d imagine the exit door will be coming before long.
Whatever the result is today we still need two strikers.
Still going for a 2-1win today.

Well we have already won over half of our games so far this season. Not bad since we don’t have any strikers.

 

[Tomox]

That lineup

 

[werthersoriginal]

Uh oh,our best winger and our top scorer out, not a great start, and no attacking options on the bench.

 

[WokinghamYellow]

Is Woltman injured?

 

[Oxford84]

That lineup

The bench!?

[Osleroad]

Very low on attacking options on the bench this afternoon-Henry a bit and then zilch. The ones first on the pitch really need to step it up

 

[Steve Gilbert]

That lineup

Good line up, the bench isn’t the best but that just highlights the lack of depth we have in this squad right now.

 

[Jster]

Yeah, the first XI looks ok, nothing to help us from the bench though.

(And someone did list Woltman on the injured list on here, though Ive seen nothing.)

 

[Oufccraig45]

The bench is getting worse game by game just awful

 

[gingerox]

Looks like Cambridge have a couple of unexpected attacking absences too fortunately

Ah something re Woltman:

Murphy had tightness but was thought ok, by Buckingham, after the game for today. How often does tightness etc turn into an actual long term lay off for our players? Being told it's tightness or a dead leg is not reassuring at all when it comes to this club!
