Home Match Build Up 1/2/2023 L1: Oxford United V Barnsley

"Wish"...... that is all anyone can do.

However there is an old saying "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it".

So your wish is granted, A N Other comes in, the players don`t like them, the transfer window is shut, we lose every game to the end of the season and get relegated.

There is timing and consequences to consider, if he was going to be got rid of then October/November 2022 was probably the time, that is well past now so we will be carrying on with KR until the end of the season.

No matter how much folk spout and whine.

Or the players like the new manager so much that we win every game and get promoted, if we are being ridiculous about it.

You could argue that given the performances to date this season, the players are not exactly dying in a ditch for KR, are they? You really think he’s that well liked by HIS squad, do you?

Well I think we owe ourselves that much.

 

[Coffin dodger]

Well, that's 2 new players to sit on the bemch tomorrow, got to break them in slowly.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Well, that's 2 new players to sit on the bemch tomorrow, got to break them in slowly.

They normally break as soon as we play them

Barnsley favour 3-5-2. Potential for change from the usual 4-3-3 maybe? That said, that's a strong attacking line up. Either we score a lot or we get stuffed!

I'd go with that but swap Findlay for Murphy on the bench to balance it a bit better. Although I doubt KR would think that way...

(if he's still here of course)

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Ox 1-3 Barno.

KR: "we just needed a little bit more quality through the middle, we were unlucky today"

 

[Foley]

If Robinson is still in charge, bring your boots, you might get a game when he offloads more of the squad.

??
2 signings in the past 2 days.

 

[Foley]

personally, I'll be getting behind the team pre and during the match- the result, ( and to a degree performance linked to the FT score), for me will dictate what, if anything, follows post match

Totally agree
Really hoping that the supporters get behind the team during the game

 

[Foley]

I very much doubt those that wish for the manager to leave are in a minority.

As for supporting the team, I do that every Saturday home and away, while spending thousands of pounds a season in the process. I certainly don’t think anyone who is voicing their displeasure at the managers performance over the course of 12 months+ should be vilified for doing so, if you are willing to part with your hard earned in the current economic climate.

We aren’t customers, we are supporters.

I think that the vast majority of fans who go to games want to support the team during the game even if they want KR out.

Looks a good front 3

I haven't been so unexcited about a game since before our recent non-league spell. It's not a feeling I like because my blood is yellow.

 

[Teddydee1980]

Well, its my birthday and I'm hoping for a solid victory, a great game of attacking football and a delightful positive atmosphere.

Reckon might get 1 of the 3. Possibly from Barnsley?
