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

COYY!

Lets get 3 points from Brizzle!

Absolute stinker of a header from Leigh to start that one of

Yep, that was the start of it - going for half way and it went sideways

 

[Johnf]

Shambolic defending

 

[stokeu]

Sorry but season over.

 

[holdsteady]

Negru looks rusty, Long looked rusty. Just shows that even getting players back or in isn’t an instant cure, you have to find a balanced, settled team. Which makes the delays in bringing players in even more maddening, it won’t be an instant fix and more games will drift by, more points thrown away.

 

[NorthernExile]

Maybe Des said we weren't after a midfielder because he meant we're after two...

 

[Oxfordpete]

Toothless up front
Defenders not putting their bodies on the line
Midfield lost

 

[Leysboy]

Game Over!!

I take no joy saying that, we’ve not turned up.

Season collapsing.

 

[isibuko]

Oof this isn’t pretty. Very tempted to switch off and do something else with my afternoon.

 

[BrockBuster]

Simple fact is that Des has got a lot to learn.

Yeah, he really needs to tell the team not to make stupid individual mistakes.

That would make all the difference.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Dreadful

 

[Verbalkint]

Ffsx2 f**k this new ground crap f**k The silent owners f**k chuckle brothers and f**k Des yes I’m pissed of we ain’t promotion candidates and never will be so until someone who actually means business bit the transfer market and get we need we anymore f**k all
Rant over

Someone get the Valium out, bazzer is going to implode

 

[Sarge]

Speedie giving us nothing

 

[Leysboy]

Aaron Collins is available. £250k will do it. Surely we can bring him in?

 

[Sarge]

c'mon Oxford show some passion

 

[Oxford84]

Think we are the perfect team for Bristol Rovers to play after losing 4 in a row. They will probably lose the next 4 after us!

 

[Swaby39]

Gone pretty much as I expected so far. Outfought, outthought and arrive with no forward presence in the game, we simply couldn’t afford to go behind.

We’re lucky Northampton was postponed as this would likely be our 3rd straight loss in a week.

 

[Horse]

I blame the red shirts. We’re utter s**t when not in yellow.

 

[Chippy]

But it’s all ok, these Jan games don’t count in the league and we’ve got lots of players coming back from injury in the next 6 months!!

I understand about 3/4 of that.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

I hate the city of Bristol. But this is just rubbish, I can't tell what Des is trying to do. We'll finish mid-table.

The football club is so so frustrating to support. With hindsight it's so hard to feel Des was the right appointment. With roughly the same players as Manning we've looked embarrassing.

As T'manor pod pointed out, even when we've won under Des it's been with "moments" rather than consistent good performances. Sick to death of "desball" already.
