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

[OX14]

Jack Stevens, Sam Long & Ciaron Brown we’re absolutely shocking.

How can you say Ciaron Brown was awful? He cleared one of the line and the amount of blocks and headers he made. Sykes on the other hand was awful tracking back and going forward except the ball across the box that Bodin couldn't reach.

 

[Jster]

Even if all the teams above us lost every remaining game, you have to wonder if we'd actually get enough points to reach the playoffs.

We would but only because it would mean both Franchise and Rotherham lost to us! I take your point though,..

Season died at Morecambe.

Unforgivable losing up there to relegation fodder. 1-0 up, and fooked it up.

 

[Scotchegg]

We've had plenty of games where we've played well and got nothing, so today just enjoy the 3 points!

This was a nervy game, and the players will be feeling it just as much as us. We know that covid has long term effects and many of these players will have been running on fumes the last few weeks.

I couldn't give a shiny shite if we scrap and scrape our way to 3 more wins in exactly the same way if it gives us a stab at the playoffs.

All this, Taylor was s**t - yeah but Whyte was worse - Long needs dropping - 4 out of 10 - it's all B*****s! Just enjoy the win and pack the stadium out on Tuesday to hopefully see the same again.

Dreadful change after roaring into a 3 goal lead. Jack had his worst game today closely followed by Sam. The team (squad?) is not balanced and not good enough for the play- offs. Plenty of changes over the summer required.

They probably not going down now though

 

[Oslernorth]

Bloody hell, that escalated from 3-0 up!

Well done Oxford, 3 points away from home against a team we’ve struggled to beat in the past. Shame Sunderland got the winner. All we can do is beat what’s in front of us!

 

[Yello]

Dont worry, the kpi will tell Karl we were amazing.
That game was our season in a nutshell, from the sublime to the ridiculous. After the first 25 odd minutes we were absolutely shocking , no shape no organization and very little attacking intent.

We won

 

[Jster]

If we win against Doncaster we'll have more points than last season. Ridiculous standard at the top this season.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

It's a big IF, but if we win all three games and Plymouth beat Sunderland, they've still got to play Wigan and MK, the dream is still alive...

 

[Scotchegg]

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!

 

[Cass63]

We go 3.0 up after 15 minutes and end up saying we played s**t and won, how does this team do it.

 

[Leysboy]

If we win against Doncaster we'll have more points than last season. Ridiculous standard at the top this season.

It’s will be the same next season too.

You have to believe Ipswich,Pompey,Bolton, and Charlton will do a bit better. Then you have Derby,Barnsley, and Peterborough. Then You have 4 from the top seven staying behind.

It’s getting tougher, and we need to toughen up too. We need to recruit well, and be stronger mentally. At the moment we look incredibly fragile, particularly at the back.

 

[OX14]

We won

So you can't criticise a performance when we win? Maybe that's Karl's and the backroom staff's problem this season. The first 20 mins was brilliant , up until the penalty we were average and got lucky the freekick hit the crossbar, second half we were bossed all over the park and it's just lucky that they weren't clinical in front of goal like Morecambe were.

 

[PottersRightBoot]

What a slog. Lucky in the end. But results like Morecambe often reverse out quickly

We have great technicians but don’t have enough pace throughout the team. And I say this every week We’re not a big enough team. Ironic then that Moore and Brown kept us in it.

Sykes also great going forward but he was leaving so much space behind him. And Henry very decent untill the claret spilled. Poor bloke.

Thought Fleetwood were reasonable and surprised they’re in the bottom 4. But such was the timidity of their crowd in such an important game I’d say they’re on the way to L2.

Don’t want to pick on individuals but Stevens needs a good long rest this summer. That glandular fever has knocked his career back a fair bit. Has ability but has lost a lot of confidence.

As always a rollercoaster watching this confounded team.

 

[Yello]

And the same usual posters forget this is a fans forum to discuss matches and how we played, both good and bad .

 

[Sarge]

KR post match interview - Henry (probably) out for the rest of the season
