We miss Beadle massively.

 

[OX14]

Big improvement on last season

Sorry that's irrelevant. s**t tactics and over paid players not playing to their potential cost us that game today.

 

[QuietYeller]

Same old story. Cannot hold onto a 1-0 lead. Brown passing is dreadful again. Defence as fragile as ever. Groundhog day every match day.

Brown made some bad passes but he made a lot of good ones too tbf

 

[Jster]

Didn't he tip one 'round the post in the first half?

Yeah, that was a decent save, but we miss Beadle terribly.

 

[QR]

Still in with a shout! Did anybody genuinely think that would be the case after last season?

But it's no thanks to Des!

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

We just needed to keep the hammer down for another 10 minutes after our goal and we would inevitably have got another, and it would have been game over.
But we didn’t - we sat off. That must have been an instruction.
Then we went all guns blazing for the last 10 and were incredibly unlucky, with every player finally trusting their individual strengths - particularly Browne, who I thought was excellent. That didn’t feel like an instruction.

I feel like we may as well be managed by the players at the moment.

 

[dickwalton1964]

Cumming has not made a save today.

Says it all!

He should have made a save that’s for sure.

 

[Chris on a Bike]

Pathetic result. Absolutely pathetic.

Yep and we can all see you grinning as you type it

 

[Wandering Yellow]

 

[WuTang]

Can't help but think a more experienced manager would have seen us comfortably in the playoffs by now. So many points dropped in games when the opposition were so so poor.

 

[Leysboy]

Des to come out with some right old tosh soon.

What the hell have they been doing during training since Port Vale. Ffs the bloke has to go!!

PULL THE TRIGGER!!

 

[PottersRightBoot]

We were always needing to beat Lincoln so not freaking about this.

Not a ‘pathetic’ result, troll, it’s an away point.

We simply didn’t do enough to win. Finishing poor. Browne did ok up top though.

Side doesn’t have enough pace. Goalkeeper needs to be given a bollockimg, very arthiritic.

 

[Sheik djibouti]

Yeah, that was a decent save, but we miss Beadle terribly.

Beadle kept us in games under Manning, Cumming is costing us under Des.

 

[chromeyellow]

And more of the vultures venture out after the final whistle- strange how little any of them had to say about the game as it was underway.

We didn't try and see it out- some sloppy passes from defence meant that they remained a threat but we continued to create chances.

Murphy should have been given the ball more often as he was a continual threat.

Dale was persistent but it wasn't one of his better games.

 

[Chris on a Bike]

Buckingham OUT! Useless manager!!

Yeah! He should have scored at least three of those chances!

 

[unification]

Our striker situation is laughably poor.

It wasn’t great when the season started and it’s no better now. Goodwin hasn’t been available much since he joined and Harris is a clone of Kyle Joseph who works hard but won’t net you many. He misses chances that someone like a prime Matty Taylor would put away.

 

[ChamonixOx]

Chose to go shopping with the wife and one’s daughter who’s home from University. Really struggling to get inspired by Buckingham’s Oxford and the result was pretty much predictable. The football is really poor quality most games and based on the parts I managed to see, today was no exception. Looked like two poor sides (with us a little more quality). Its a crap league in most parts, and we fit in well!!

If Buckingham continues, crowds will probably fall next season through apathy and boredom and it’s hard to see us not in being in a relegation fight this time next year.

 

[Sheik djibouti]

Odohambo was better as player than as a summariser. And he wasn’t a very good player.

Yeah, but he did say we were pedestrian as we went into half time, which was bang on the money!

 

[Jster]

Our games just seem to be chaos at the moment. Under Manning it was all order, order, order, maybe boringly so at times, but this is just so chaotic. The ball bounces all over the place in defence, we partially head it clear, nobody gets control over it. No wonder we end up conceding eventually.

Being critical of a manager who continues to get it wrong does not make one a "vulture"
