Away Match Day Thread 23/03/2021 L1 Northampton Town v OUFC

[ZeroTheHero]

That bloke doing a comedy impersonation of Robinson on RadOx just now was hilarious. 'Happy with the first half', 'the plan was to get to half time at 0-0'. Ha ha ha.

You need some loo roll?

It's alright thanks Bazzer, once I'd logged out of ifollow, it was a pretty clean break!

 

[Northstandboy]

What did KR say then?

KR

Utter waffle makes no sense, just admit you got it wrong.

 

[Hackney Jack]

Trouble is either of our opinion doesn't matter. It wasn't given and we didn't deserve anything from the game so can't blame that on the result.

I wasn't trying to blame the decision on the result? Yes, we absolutely got what we deserved, nada.

KR had to play his strongest team, from the start, and just go all out for the three points, which were in reality were there to be taken before KO.

And he got the tactics wrong, yet again. To not know his strongest team at this stage of the season is bewildering, at best.

He has lost it. Watch us produce more rubbish on Friday.

What did KR say then?

Talked about plan to get to 60 mins at 0-0. Baffling! He implores others to think big, make Oxford a big club and we go to a team in the relegation spots with a plan to contain them

 

[bazzer9461]

Happy with the first 45 minutes apparently.

Blimey.

Deluded, why can’t he be honest

Fair point.

What did KR say then?

He thinks too deeply.

Basically, after losing Saturday knowing that we’ve got 2 difficult games to come up we had to win today so we needed our strongest team from the start no matter what the plan was beforehand.

He said the game was going to plan e.g. 0-0 at half time and even after 60mins so was happy. But it wasn’t so much about the result at those times to me it was more to do with the performance which was clearly woeful. Yes, if we’re playing a team at the top, but not against a team near the bottom.

Karl, get back to basics and keep a winning team together.

Don’t forget he referred to the sixfields as the ‘lions den!’

He has truly lost it - very worrying that another season is over.

Never mind. Thanks to his contract he’s got at least three more seasons to get it right..

I agree, after the defeat against Blackpool KR was banging on about always telling it how it is... If the new majority shareholders bring new expectations about success, and want a manager with a different style, perhaps KRs time at the club will be limited to one more season? They won’t have any problems buying out his contract!

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

He has truly lost it - very worrying that another season is over.

Started to think that but all he was doing was protecting the players ( himself as well no doubt) in saying 0-0 he was happy with. He wasn't but 10 matches to go he needs to somehow keep / get some positive reaction.
I think quite a few players are proving they are not up to it .
Blackpool had a great win , they are a very tough side and despite losing to them no reason to change tactics.

He is so, so arrogant. You got it wrong, Robinson. Admit it? Not a chance!

 

[Mellowyellow]

robinson - "I was happy with 0-0 at half time."
"I would have been happy with 0-0 at 60 mins."
If this doesn't show robinson has genuinely lost his way, nothing does.

Charlton fans said he flatters to deceive, maybe they were right?

 

[Oxford1996]

53 points.

10 games to go. 7 wins needed...

 

[Oldman159]

Worry not chaps. Robbo is off to the blades..it’s a stepping stone to taking over from Jose next season...after all team setup and tactics are identical right now.

Waffle merchant KR as per usual
