COYY

 

[Siho]

Oxford still wasteful in front of goal. We could have got at least 8.

Not complaining though

 

[tonyw]

Who’s going to come up with Permutations for the next 2 home games?

I'd say it's basically:

Beat Lincoln, and we need one point from our last two games
Draw with Lincoln, and we may need one win from our last two games
Lose to Lincoln, and all bets are off but we might have to win the last two then.

Surely beat Lincoln and we can’t be caught?! Blackpool have an inferior goal difference and can only get 6 more points max.

 

[Andy1505]

No Goodwin until the play offs (if we get there....) - maybe this is a signing that we'll have to write off for this season and prepare for next? The phrase glass ankle springs to mind

 

[WEYellow]

Jesus f*****g christ, that was absolutely unbelievable. I can’t recall a performance like that in my 20 years following us, 10/10 from everyone involved.

 

[Paul Cannell]

WOW! What an incredible turnaround, that keeps getting better!

There was a small part of me that was worried the big improvement we'd recently made would stall today, and we would get a reality check once we came up against a team of Peterborough's quality...

The only reality check was to see that it's all finally all clicked into place, and we're suddenly now the real deal going into the final few games of the season, and on this form, nobody's stopping us!

Long is suddenly in the best form for several seasons, looking like the player we all fell in love with back then.
McEachran looks class all of a sudden, a real maestro, and what perfect timing!
Murphy is outrageously good, the change in him has been unbelievable. Please please please let's all pray we can get him to sign a new contract.

Des has shocked me to be honest, I really thought he was a lame duck at this level, and I was fed up with watching the shite he and the team was serving up, but my god how wrong I was, the way things have changed in recent weeks, and the way things have suddenly just clicked is incredible, I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing turnaround before, it's quite astounding!

I'm stunned.

Superb performance, we're absolutely flying!

Well done Des and the lads

Well, this is a tonic. Brilliant!

Bridport lost 5-0 at home, 1 sent off, can't defend. The choices we make......

COYY!

 

[Ox4Eva]

Disgusted by that today, I won't be back until we win 6.0 every week, I can tend my allotment or find another excuse not to support my team.

A message for the whining whinging fuds who masquerade as fans, f*ck you, and up the U's!

Through thick and thin...

 

[derek]

Fully prepared to admit I know nothing about football, but I never expected that. McEachran really stepped up, real team performance.

When Bodin came on, I thought "OK, a bit slower, but he does have a cool head in front of goal".

Bloody hell. I was in the third row and saw him go (too?) wide, but look back at the goal.

"There's no way he's going to get that back.... Oh!"

Limbs. First Saturday game I've been able to get to for ages, so glad I did.

Good to hear the Buckingham's Yellow Army chants too.

4 points and we are in the play offs.
Stevenage can't catch us. Blackpool have to win both their remaining games (Barnsley & Reading) and Lincoln will have to win at least 2 of their last 3 games and hope we lose all 3.

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

For anyone who wonders why we do it, today will give them the answer.

 

[headingtonoldboy]

I was all for Des getting the sack after the Bolton shambles. But fair play to him and the team. The turn around has been nothing short of astonishing. Well done. I'm now off to the local supermarket to buy a large family sized Humble pie.......

Lincoln have pompey last game as well. If we put ourselves in Lincoln’s and Blackpool’s shoes, we’d be biting our nails for the next couple of weeks.

 

[Royalstandard74]

Fair play Des, I have been very critical on past games (possibly rightly so) but today I've seen a game plan and I bloody loved it, I'm right behind you now Des! COYY

 

[greatunclekip]

Just checked the score from Berlin, I have no words other than wow!!

If we lose to Lincoln and they win their last two, four points from Stevenage/Exeter wouldn’t be enough.

But don’t lose on Tuesday and we’re looking golden!

wow is an understatement for todays performance - it was awesome

 

[Scotchegg]

I f*****g love football sometimes.

Lincoln is a "Must not lose" game. A point would be a good result

Good man. How is Le KFC over there?
