Away Match Day Thread +++ 02/02/2019 Burton Albion v OUFC match day thread +++

Disappointing not to win that but at least we've got a week now for the new signings to get settled in and knowing us will get a result against Sunderland. Still think we'll just about stay up

That would be good and then there would only be half The amount of pages for the match day thread than today’s

Well said ?

 

[Marked Ox]

Well that was frustrating. Burton were there for the taking. I don’t think we are going to get a better chance to win an away game this season!

Side note - how fat was the referee?

We had a better chance when 3 up against Scunny.

Tiger and the Scouse c**t are ruining this club

You really are showing yourself up with comments like this. Chill out and get behind the team instead of constantly moaning and at least say something constructive. 6 points out of the last 4 games is not a bad return considering who we’ve played. I’ll wager with you now that we won’t go down and that KR will be here at the end of the season.

Weve hardly been out of the bottom four all season yet some people seem pretty sure were not going down.

If thats not head in the sand i dont know what is..

I always believe, until mathematics say otherwise, positivity is what we need, onwards and upwards.

 

[beyondthefourth]

Bear in mind we scored 8 goals in our 4 matches before this. Would be interesting to see where we stand on a table of 'Shots on goal'.

We just need the coaching staff to run attacking drills with Sinclair and Smith, Whyte, Brown and Graham. Get them accustomed to each other.

How many times was Sinclair released on goal in the first 15 minutes? I know it's a disappointing day, but I've no reason to be miserable overall.

We should be higher than we are. And about 8 other teams around us will be saying the same thing, that's just football.

You and your kind were spouting the same shite last season from December onwards...football fans do not ever give up on their club no matter the situation...if you truly believe that we are among the 4 worst sides in the league then i give up...instead of thinking rationally and looking around at the table where there's sweet felicity adams between about 12 clubs you continue to post nothing but drivel and negativity.
have an opinion Kip but keep it real and sensible and at least act like you're a fan, nobody is burying their head in the sand except maybe yourself who clearly cannot see why your comments are unworthy with so many games remaining.

For the most part, I think they want the insurance of being able to say 'I told you all, I warned you!'. It won't impact on their happiness or relief at the end of the season if we avoid the drop.

 

[greatunclekip]

The league table tells me that we are indeed, over 30 games, one of the 4 worst teams.

Pretty much. The likes of Kip etc lead very sad lives.

I bloody hope you’re right and we don’t but if we did.......

You’re missing the point. There’s been an improvement in the last few games which is giving “proper fans” optimism.

Plan the relegation party if you want but it will only be you and Baz there.

We had 6 points after 12 games though. We have since got 26 in 18. Granted that's not amazing but it means we are in a false position IMO. Crunching the numbers, over the course of a season that point rate would give us 66 points, which would have put us 8th last season. It's admittedly fairly arbitrary where one starts 'counting' points and games for 'points per game' exercises, but those numbers show that since the Southend 0-0 in October, we've been upper-mid-table standard. That's a four-month span, which is a fairly hefty sample size of matches. You can say anyone not going off on Twitter or this forum this evening screaming about how KR is clueless or we're going to be playing in the National League in 2020-21 (lol) has their head in the sand, but I don't think the situation is as bad as you are making out.

Don’t you come on here stating FACTS when the doom mongering is in full flow!

 

[holdsteady]

The league table tells me that we are indeed, over 30 games, one of the 4 worst teams.

But we had a truly dog s**t start, 5 points from 11 or 12 games wasn’t it? When you start that badly since then unless you go on a title winning form run you are going to be down there all season. We have 27 from 19, while not brilliant it’s a big improvement, if we carry that into the last 16 games we will be fine.

The big question is obviously which is the real us, the team that very much looked like being a carbon copy of Kemps early noughties wonders at the beginning of the this season or the not perfect but improved side we have seen since the turnaround sometime in October? I fancy us as the latter but am not going to knock anyone who sees us as the former, the next 3 months will answer that.

We have to look at the worst and prey that we’ve got it wrong
