Yes a massive game.I hope so, the Northampton game is massive, not just result wise but performance wise, this will show us if we are truly capable of staying in top 6.
I thought today the midfield were overrun for 70 minutes, so playing out from the back was impossible because there was no out ball other than play long.I can't pretend I'm happy with that. I keep paying up to watch this Des team and am always left with the same question: what the hell is the plan?
Long diagonals, followed by hoofball, then we tried to get it down and play a bit in the second half.
I look at this team and I see a lot of good, league one standard players, being mismanaged.
Fans don't seem to know where they stand, a few boos followed up with Buckinghams Yellow Army!
Disappointing, the result isn't a disaster but the first half performance was nowhere near good enough for a team that has the players we do.
Someone ask Des what the plan is, because I have no idea.

Reckon itβs 4 teams fighting for 2 playoff spots.
Out of those four.. Peterborough (1 point) Stevenage (4 points) Blackpool (5 points) and us (7 pts) we are top of the mini form table.
Still plenty to be hopeful about.
what's troubling is that there appear to be some Oxford United fans who don't want to mention this because it doesn't suit their agenda against the manager
Next Saturday will be pivotal in the play off race.
Oxford v Leyton Orient
Cambridge v Posh
Barnsley v Derby
Blackpool v Bolton
Stevenage v Wycombe
A Win on Tuesday is a must though.
Had one have a go at me because he said Des doesnβt deserve time. Literally had 6 of the first team out and has only just got them all back. Some just want him to fail but we basically restricted Wycombe to launching balls into the box. Which was always going to be their MO anyway. Theyβve beaten some good sides at home lately. A point is okay.
Thank goodness Cumming turned up.
First 65 minutes were abject and we looked like a side devoid of idea.
Last 20/25 we looked more intent. If only we started with a bit of purpose!
Can anyone tell me what the game plan is yet? Iβm still yet to see a clear style of play under Buckingham.

Thomas Frank " took Brentford to an 11th-place finish in the Sky Bet Championship [in his first] season having been in charge for three quarters of the campaign. He overcame a difficult start to life as Head Coach and a run of one win in ten games that coincided with a spate of injuries and the death of Technical Director Robert Rowan. That was followed by a sequence of two defeats in 13 that took The Bees in to the top half of table and they eventually finished ten points outside the Play-Off places."... I still donβt believe Des is the right man for the job. I hope he proves me wrong, but at the moment heβs not shown me heβs learning, or got it in him to manage at this level.
You forget to actually say that Thomas Frank was the assistant head coach at Brentford for almost 2 years before taking the helm so had plenty of knowledge of the league and the club!Thomas Frank " took Brentford to an 11th-place finish in the Sky Bet Championship [in his first] season having been in charge for three quarters of the campaign.

I dont even have the balls to own up to my dislike.I really don't have anything against Des Buckingham. But with 5 wins from 17 League games, he's not doing very well, is he?
