Away Match Day Thread 27/01/2024 L1: Bristol Rovers v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

COYY!

Lets get 3 points from Brizzle!

 

[bazzer9461]

we're getting shredded in the midfield and defensively

OUFC are having their areas torn a new strip

 

[Oxford84]

It seems crazy that a manager was available, for free, who had just got a Championship side 6th and was ridiculously sacked for a Hollywood appointment who immediately lost almost every game with that side and then had them 20th!

Oh, and he reached the playoffs twice with Kidderminster, win a win percentage of 53%. He should have been a quick, no-brainer appointment.

Has he got another job yet?

 

[Siho]

..better tell the author..it's at the bottom of the article.

Well, if they don't even know that, how can you trust them on anything?

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Slow death by a thousand tiny cuts

 

[Jster]

Has he got another job yet?

No. Are you saying we should act fast?

 

[Royalstandard74]

What the hell does Des do on training pitches? Garbage.

 

[Yellowmania]

Why do we make it so easy to get in a cross into our box? Just leaving players unmarked out wide is crazy.

 

[bazzer9461]

Yeah, but what a 75%!

Well you know me and my posts. I think I will try writing in Hieroglyphics next time

 

[Marston Road yellow]

This is where the assistant manager should have been an experienced coach at this level, rather than a ex player doing ok with kids.

A bit like the Spuds last night Man City played wide very wide and the spuds were to narrow

 

[Sarge]

does any Oxford player know what they should be doing?

 

[Chippy]

Absolute f*****g nonsense.

Has a squad he's had almost no impact in building and completely limited in terms of tactics by only having one wide player and one striker fit for this level available.

So why haven’t we recruited wide players and strikers who are fit to play in the last 27 days? The one who is can’t even get in the starting 11, so all in all a disastrous January as far as the squad is the concerned.

 

[WuTang]

Martin was in the box on his own surrounded by 5 of our defenders. Guess who pulls it down unchallenged and keeps possession?

Ag but tbf Des said he wasn’t

 

[Leysboy]

If there is a plan in this game, then I’d love to know what it is. For life of me I can’t work it out.

Taxi for Desmond. Not good enough, ahh give him time… keep playing like this for the next year?

 

[Oxford84]

No. Are you saying we should act fast?

Im saying if hes so good why doesnt he have a job?

 

[behindthegoal]

It was quite close!

That's good enough.. Goal to us then

 

[38yearsofpain]

I hate that the minority on here were right about Des Buckingham. Shocking appointment for someone who hasn’t got a clue at this level and couldn’t recruit a no.2 cos he barely knew anyone in the UK who would go with him. Made worse with paying compensation. Not his fault at all. Poor board decision

Another huge mistake Mr Williams. You would never expect anyone associated with ManU to be able to pick the right manager though!!

 

[Oufccraig45]

No. Are you saying we should act fast?

The board have got this appointment completely wrong
