Home Match Day Thread 29/12/23: L1 - OUFC v Derby County

[Northstandboy]

Huge game today, COYY!

Let’s leave 2023 on a high!

 

[notThisWayButThat]

Derby have absolutely taken us to the cleaners in this 2nd half

Since the 13th minute.

A bridge too far for our depleted squad tonight. Get Charlton done with and then rebuild.

You're loving this.

Ah that old chestnut again. Hopefully 2024 brings some new material Bob

Should have put money on then it would not be so bad I was thinking put a tenner on derby winning 3-2 would make me feel better when it happens At least. That was before they scored the 1st. Patchwork squad. good job January is here but now morale is going to be down and not sure about des but he has not had a fit squad yet. Real tough one to take tonight. On to January the next game could be a tough one also bounce back and it's not so bad but we need players back.

Another wonderful game plan. Absolute joke.

We are devoid of tactics when we're winning or losing ATM. Des has a 3 year contract - he's going to need someone to manage the matchday side of things very soon plus some very good signings in January if we're to even make the playoffs.

a painful watch. Don’t think anything could’ve been done differently up to half time but the change from Des was bizarre. At 2-0 up if goodrham needs to go off why wouldn’t you put the extra body in the middle with McEachran. Control the game. Why take Harris off when backs against the wall - it’s where he thrives.

This has been a horror show in game management from Des I hate to say.

Crap tactics taking off all forwards... and players just sitting off all over the pitch.

And hopefully it'll be the end of this pathetic "I told you so" attitude from yourself. It's absolutely tiresome.

Honestly, and I don't say this lightly, Des is so far out of his depth he is making Patto look like Marcello Lippi. An absolute tactical horror show.

What the f*** can he do with the players available? Half the bench shouldn’t be anywhere near the pitch. The starting 11 are running on empty. They’ve done their best to hold on but you expect to defend for over 45 mins against a top team and keep them out.

We have hardly any fit players and the ones we have had fit have had to play too much football in a short space of time due to having hardly any fit players.

That's it I'm afraid. You can only work with what you have, and unfortunately we haven't got much.

Bring on January.

Only one team in it .Henry missed our only chance we know we are so light we've been mid table for ages .This still shows how poor we are .Mcguane what's happened to him? And just no idea from us what so ever.

 

[Sarge]

Sorry this was a s**t 2nd half

Sitting back attempting to defend never f*****g works

I predicted we would lose and we are losing, as we are starting to do a lot Bob. It's terrible.

I like winning..

 

[Paul Cannell]

No idea why we’ve decided to protect a one goal lead for 45 minutes.

No shit?

 

[GreenMachine]

The players have worked very hard tonight backs against the wall. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Cheers Des for throwing away 3 points.

f*****g horrific second half of negativity. Not acceptable.

Crap manager!

Get real. We are down to the bare bones.

 

[Leysboy]

Mind boggling tactics. Sit back ever since we went 2-0 up, and the subs have been horrendous.

Not sure this manager will last long!
