COYY

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Job done. Could have had more too.

Burton relegation fodder this term.

 

[Jolteon]

That was a bloody good performance by everyone.

 

[tonyw]

First half was satisfactory - second half was absolutely excellent. Even allowing for how crap Burton were, the best 45 minutes at home this season.

3-0 flattered them. If we could finish, it would've been embarrassing!

 

[Symp59]

Great win so pleased for Des ,but Burton are going down well done alot of good performances and we are closer to the transfer window.

 

[Concretebob]

Solid performance.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that one, a total domination. Burton were crap but you have to beat what's in front of you. We were a little slow to get going but my god what a shift the team put in. Sparky will be thinking what on earth he has to do to get a goal. Could easily have been 4,5,6,7,8-0. Up the Ox!

 

[tonyw]

Also, Barnsley held at home, Derby held at home and Bolton looking like they may lose at home.

And Scum thumped at home by Barrow

(EDIT - Stevenage held at home too.....although I'm still struggling to process them as promotion challengers)

A very good day....

Excellent performance. Burton didn’t offer anything going forward but Max had a belter and they put some serious blocks in. For once, Murphy header aside I didn’t feel we were wasteful with our chances - a lot of good blocks and saves.

 

[BrockBuster]

Good win that, very satisfying. Sure naysayers will come along and say Burton were Indian Super League standard but I'm not having it!

Where's that positive bus gone...

 

[Osleroad]

Wycome about to break Derby's winning streak and when can Pompey start drawing games grr.

That and the Harris free header after the goalmouth melee.

 

[bashamwonderland]

We did look improved at Reading. Things are moving in the right direction if slowly

 

[Theox07]

Imagine if we had a striker who could score

 

[Canterburyexile]

So, now that Des seems to be finding his feet, what are we going to find to complain about?

<remembers transfer window and stadium threads>

As you were.

Village Co-op has run out of sellotape, I'm furious!!

Don’t care, if we win 3-0. Thought Harris caused all sorts of problems today.

 

[Symp59]

I keep watching Harris he was so unlucky today ay times ,he works so hard .He's certainly still going to be a good player going forwards if we can find a striker and he plays of a y of the wings.

But it does matter when you need them goals in ur not playing burton every week

Yeah, I get it. And I’m sure the club will do everything they can to bring in a striker in January. But that’s not going to be easy (not many strikers readily available, and a lot of clubs will be looking), so it’s great that we have others chipping in.

 

[Foley]

Crocombe has has a good game

Their MoM by a distance I reckon
