Away Match Day Thread +++ 07/07/19 PSF: - Glasgow Rangers v OUFC MDT +++

[Sarge]

decent ball from Lofthouse to Brannagan ... who shot was a split second late (& blocked)

 

[Sarge]

Skyes giving it go out there

 

[bazzer9461]

Ojo is already on loan to Rangers, from Liverpool

Thanks didn’t know that

 

[beyondthefourth]

McCreadie, Allardyce, Jones, Berkoe, and James come on.

Why? It's a yardstick. We finish with games against QPR and Fulham, so we can see how we shape up after a roster of games against squads of similar quality.

I don't agree at all. In my opinion, you start with the other games we've got this week and work your way up to stiffer tests - and hopefully by the time you get there more of your signings have arrived. An incomplete squad being made to look substandard by a far from full-strength Rangers outfit is not brilliant. I'm not sure this match actually tells us that much, even if we then do somewhat better against QPR and Fulham.

Edit - still, a nice day out for those who went, I'm sure and I hope they enjoyed it.

 

[bazzer9461]

A lot of subs on for Oxford but not sure on the names

 

[cassox]

youth team out there now

 

[bazzer9461]

Defoe dives ???

 

[Sarge]

5 more changes for the U's .... Jones, James, Allardyce, Berkoe & Mc Creadie

 

[bazzer9461]

Hanson oldest Oxford player 23 on the pitch

 

[yellowbow]

Long shredded at CB for the fourth unfortunately. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Napa up front though.

Rangers could only fit the game in now as they have European games coming up,its was either now or never for this season.

At Fault for the forth goal as well.

He probably is having a bad game (don't know as I'm not watching it). You are saying he isn't a starting right back based on this game; when he has shown he is good enough to be starting right back IN plenty of league 1 games and not in the 1st pre-season game.

And the youngsters so far looking more composed.

 

[Sarge]

youngsters giving it a proper go

Maybe we are getting a % of the gate receipts (pure guess) so thought it was worth playing?

That’s my point of view. It’s one I also think the manager agrees with and I believe we will be signing a RB who will be ahead of Long.
Long is a useful squad player, but that is all I see him as.
As for today’s game, I am watching it and he has been appalling. Constantly out of position and offering nothing going forward.
Time will tell.

I’m watching and Long was on the left and isn’t anywhere near what he was like last season

 

[Leysboy]

5-0

He’s been playing on the left whereas he was on the right last season
