Away Match Day Thread +++ 1/1/2019 Plymouth Argyle v OUFC match day thread+++

Embarrassing!!!
Three games over the festive period that all fans look forward to.
Lost all three scored 0 conceded 6.
Not sure where we go from here


I know, Appleton in Robinson Cheeriooooo
 
How wasn’t he supported in the summer?

He said himself that:

- it was the best budget he had ever had to work with
- that Sam Smith was his main target
- that the squad he had was good enough to get to the playoffs
- Carruthers and Holmes would not have come cheap

Ok, they may have missed out on some targets because they got better offers (Mulumbu and Celtic spring to mind) but maybe that is because he was deluded and looking for players they never had a chance of getting.

Or perhaps they missed out on targets because players saw through his bullshit?!

To say he wasn’t supported, in my opinion, is completely false.

He has shoes players with a history of injury, unsurprisingly they have then got injured again, and then he wants to use injuries as an excuse?! Come on man!!

He moans about having a lack of options upfront..... who was responsible for signing (or not) the strikers we needed?
Yep, got it in one, Robinson.

Everyone who went to more than a handful of games last season could see that Obika was a squad player at best, yet somehow Robinson allowed us to go into the season with him as our main option up there....it was never going to work.

He said his job is “impossible” earlier this week..... well, if you believe the job is impossible despite being given the biggest budget you have had to work with you are probably in the wrong game.....
 
16 May 2020.

That date next year will be the 10th anniversary of our promotion from the Conference.

Remarkably, we could still be in League 2 10 years after that promotion. Yep, we’ve had a promotion in that time but that should tell you what a difficult operation it is running OUFC and making a success when you have FK leering over proceedings.

It’s made harder when you have a dubious owner, a PE teacher for an MD and a in-decline first team coach.
 
Our next 6/7 matches look very tough. We could quite easily be bottom by the end of Feb.

Tiger has got to show what sort of owner he is now. Has a got a clue what's needed to change things around? Has he got the money to fix things? How's his plan coming together? And what about the others on the board, are they going to do anything?

What a load of s**t.
 
Kept quiet all season about my personal thoughts on KR, but now I am going to say it.
He is a moron, comes across in interviews as a child who wants to impress using long words, but ends up using the wrong words, and speaking utter nonsense. Also, he is really out of shape, and his appearance suggests to me he likes a drink or two.
Doubt players respect him, the man is a thicko with no class or integrity.
 
Hands need to go into pockets to compete with Pompey and Mackems buying power...because we need experienced l1 players or championship players out of favour AS WELL as youngsters!!
 
Very, very disheartening. We are on the slippery slope again and we don’t look to be getting out of it any time soon.☹️
 
A random DE conspiracy on the radio about money. Some people need to step back from the funny substances.

Which brings us back to Tiger, Thohir and the others. If we don’t see some decent investment in January we could be screwed and will certainly remain in a relegation scrap which we might not have the ability to get out of.

They need to put up or get the f**k out and let someone else have a go.

As usual. not pointed at you, Pete.

If they do invest, can you have any faith in the acting manager to use the investment to produce a squad that can get us into mid-table? The same manager who took recruited a bunch of crocks and has-beens, took half the matches played to find a way to use them half-effectively and has run the 9 or so competent players into the ground while they've been found out by any manager who's scouted us and has found no plan B to deal with that.

I haven't. The board's most important move must be to fire the man who is pretending to be a manager and replace him with someone who can manage a football team.

That’s Robin on the radio and yes he does say things that sound silly but he had 3 Ed hbd info over DE receiving money from players still at the club, but he has said some sensible things

Even the guff about Championship players was rubbish. No doubt he is well intentioned, but is was a lot of crap that he talked. Worse than KR :sleep:
 
Has KR done his interview yet? Watched on iFollow but can’t get the radio.
