Home Match Day Thread 23/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Barnsley

[Carpy]

Should be our toughest test of recent times this evening if the form table is to be believed

 

[bert]

Good stop by Keiron Brown. He's a wall at times.

 

[ljs]

They are targeting the gap between Stevens and Long.

And we are light in midfield with 5 at the back, so little option for any pass when Cumming has the ball.

Please put Stevens RB and move Smyth to midfield.

See Nicky Cadden has all the time in the world no one picking him up

 

[bert]

f**k me. Reuben Rodriguez could've been punished for that school boy pass across his own 6 yard line.

 

[Sarge]

get these on target Sparky

 

[greatunclekip]

What a shocker of a half, abysmal. Des talks a really good game, but I have to be honest, I'm not sure he walks the walk.

 

[Mad Dog]

Really poor. Terribly poor. Awfully poor. Shockingly poor. Horrifyingly poor. Insanely poor.

Very very poor.

 

[Sarge]

Bennett injured?

 

[WuTang]

1-0 down at half time isn't too bad in these conditions. We have to make the most of the wind in the second half though. Plenty of shots and keep them down, follow in the spills etc etc. 2-0 and they will feel they have enough to hold out though

 

[Oxford84]

Really poor. Terribly poor. Awfully poor. Shockingly poor. Horrifyingly poor. Insanely poor.

Very very poor.

total overreaction.

 

[Sarge]

Leigh on for Bennett

 

[Northstandboy]

Bennett off injured now!

I can’t write it!!

So we can only make further changes at HT and another in play. 2 more chances of subs!

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Go 4 at the back 2nd half and bring Bruery on for Tyler.

 

[Swaby39]

Well it wouldn’t be one of our games without 2 off injured inside 45 mins

 

[tonyw]

We've been completely unable to get our creative players - McGuane, Brannagan, Rodrigues - on the ball in any space and have instead had to rely on long balls that are leaving Goodrham and Harris challenging their central defensive ogres.

Meanwhile Kane and the other Barnsley playmakers are getting acres of space to do their thing.

I'd be going back to a four in defense, and pushing Smyth into the centre of midfield to try and actual build some sort of platform in there.

 

[Mad Dog]

total overreaction.

Totally accurate

 

[Sarge]

phew!

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Men v boys

 

[bert]

Bennett off injured now!

Does that mean we only have one set of substitutions left now?

 

[Scrongo]

I'm concerned about the lack of passion from the dug out..
