Away Match Day Thread 13/01/2024 L1: Carlisle United v OUFC

[Carpy]

More confident of a win than I was a week ago, will be a critical month for us if we want to maintain a promotion push, let's start with 3 points against Carlisle!

 

[Mad Dog]

Wrong thread he’s just been expunged from Next Door

I wish I could be expunged from next door, she's gorgeous

Right on the line, great call from the assistant ref! VAR might have overturned it but either way it's not clear and obvious.

Shout-out of Stevens for seeing the pass and threading it through the gap perfectly first touch for Harris to run on to. That takes real skill.

Isn’t there a player in the right back position too who may have kept Harris on side?

 

[ECYellow]

That was a really good result yesterday. I fancied it to be a bit of a banana skin but we were in control, once the first goal went in.

Really pleased for Mark Harris. He does work hard and it’s nice to see him notch a couple. We certainly need reinforcements in the forward areas but if he can chip in with goals, then that’s great.

Cumming made one fantastic save and I thought his distribution was good. To the naked eye, he does not look a downgrade on Beadle.

We’ve got a big 3 weeks or so to come, Pompey, Reading, Rovers, Barnsley & Noton. Results in those will give us a good indication of what we can expect come the final furlong of the season.

Northampton at home next week. Get there if you can!

One of our bogey teams, only with Rovers and Wycombe

 

[Peterdev]

What a player he was.

Always remember his three against Brighton

[West Oxon U’s]

The first time we have scored more than two goals at Brunton Park.

 

[Sarge]

For some reason the bookings from that game weren’t expunged??

I know , the bastards

 

[Grumpy Git]

Not so sure. Looks like they're going under. I think (?) Bury's results were voided when they went bust. I suppose I should feel a bit sorry for Reading fans but tbh I know a few Reading fans and they found the Kassam stadium/relegations etc endlessly amusing. So what goes around comes around.

If they are booted out of the league, so be it. I couldn’t care less.

Really feel quite relaxed about him between the sticks after what we saw yesterday.

A great addition/replacement, call it what you will.

Harris starting to find the net again is a great boost.

By getting a few more signings in and by reducing the injury list, this second half of the season could be massive after all…

Great to be feeling some more optimism again

 

[Yellow Mustard]

I am of course very happy- but that first 40 mins was absolutely awful. Nearly unwatchable. Ruben gave the ball away 5 times in the first 5 mins. We couldn't string a pass, everything intercepted, no attaching threat. I could barely watch.

Far better second half of course but a bit Jekyll and Hyde for me.

 

[pidge]

Really happy with Cummings replacing Beadle. Think the biggest difference I noticed between the two is Cummings seems to be more assured when it comes to making a save and making sure the ball doesn’t go back into a dangerous area. That being said Beadle is a fantastic keeper and wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on to play for England.

Good work, but it should be in a happier colour.

 

[greatunclekip]

Look at the state of this - the ace pundit and forum troll strikes again.

I called it wrong. I wasn't the only one predicting it could be a banana skin.

 

[Jster]

Yeah, to be fair, I was pretty worried about the Carlisle game. The type of match we've lost previously this season.

Yesterday’s goal and the one Goodrham scored against Cambridge reminded me of Roofe.

Clearly a different type of player but the cutting in from the left and hitting it across the keeper into the far corner was very Roofesque.

Good to get his contract sorted, clubs further up the food chain will be taking notice.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Brilliant result yesterday, if we add to this squad who knows where we could end up. Only 2 things I want to point out:

1) Ciaron Brown has been CLASS at centre back and we unfairly judged him playing out of position as a LB. He is composed, strong, perfect compliment to Moore.

2) Goodrham is underrated by some. He's not in their because he's one of his own, his shooting from outside the box is the best in the squads including Brannagan.

UTSO.

Brown has always said he’s a centre half.
should never really listen to supporters criticism, as half will say one thing and the other will say opposite.
Although playing out of position to get players player of season. Says everything.
Quality signing.
