Ref Watch +++ 13/07/20 L1 Play Off FINAL - OUFC v Wycombe+++

[beyondthefourth]

Oh well. At least it's a good f*****g story.

All I've been hearing. "Wouldn't it be nice for plucky Wycombe to go up, having sneaked into the playoffs through pure mathematical luck? Have a jolly one season in the tier above and come down after a nice holiday and about 5 points?"

Little old wycombe have done it. Everyone was underestimating them. Did we get too cocky?

yes absolutely

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

Re-read the forums. The amount of posts about us in the championship. Everyone assumed the job was already done.

yep pure arrogance

 

[AbbeyOx]

well we fucked that up.
see you all next season

f**k off. You're talking absolute s**t.

Two second half moments of madness cost us dear.

Wycombe were well drilled and very disciplined and you know a game against a team set up like them will come down to a couple of moments.

People will moan that we didn’t have a game plan or weren’t up for it. I saw nothing of the sort. I saw an effective game plan put into action well but not brilliantly, but two big moments changing everything.

I feel very ok as we played as we have done this season for 30 mins in 3 games. You can't keep going on set pieces and wonder goals, and therein lies the lesson. We had Wycombe on the rack and wasted the chances they gave us.

yep pure arrogance

Where? Show me.

Poor first half much better second half. A great effort this season by the players particular post January sales. Hopefully we can use the Dickie and Brannigan funds and build again for next year or the year after. Gutted but next season will come round soon and the club is heading in the right direction

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Simon Eastwood can go. Both goals his fault and he’s been poor this season. He shouted for Moore to duck out of that and then tried to blame him after - he was on his bike far too quickly for a notoriously flat footed and ‘stay at home’ keeper, and Moore hasn’t ducked out of a header all season. As soon as it bounced you knew he was clattering him and that was that.

And as for Marcus Browne - watch that moment before the penalty again when the dust settles. Their right back scuffs the ball back to the keeper and if Browne is paying attention he runs clean through. Instead he gives up, turns and starts berating somebody, and it’s the subsequent long ball clearance that goes over Moore. You know what happens next.

Thrown away needlessly and pointlessly.

Ah well could be 10 in a row next season and 6 easy points for the I’s of the scum

 

[boogaloo]

Just not good enough. Wycombe played to their strengths and deserved the win. Very disappointed with the last goal. I can only assume Eastwood called for it, when he shouldn't have done - but if you call for it, you MUST make sure you get there first. He didn't - we have another season in L1.

Too many big players haven't bothered to take part in any of the playoff matches. not big or strong enough too much tapping about in our own half. Next season we need to be more direct we need to play football suitable for league one. We've been done by a side built on the cheap. A goal conceeded whilst claiming for a throw in instead of playing to the whistle. It feels raw bitter and like our team bottled it. I will probably feel better tomorrow.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

Good luck Whycome. With football like that you are welcome to it.

 

[oufc1991]

I would honestly say we were shite for 3 games if those players can’t raise there game at Wembley where apparently some of them think they should be playing to get to the championship where they all believe they should be then they bottled it they were s**t

 

[bazzer9461]

Thanks Matty best of luck next season

 

[holdsteady]

Don’t want to slaughter the lad while he is down, but, just head that f*****g ball away.

B*****s to it all, on to next season, we will win the next play off we play in front of fans, like how it should be.

 

[Leysboy]

It’s such a shame we let’s ourselves down tonight, especially as we had got a foot hold of the game. A moment of madness has cost us the game.

Im so disappointed! Passing the ball around may look pretty, but not very effective when you keep going sideways and backwards with it. We dilly dallied with the ball too much. We had great chances, and squandered them!

Im sure Wycombe will be over the moon, and so they should be, and I hope they enjoy there crack at some decent sized clubs. Fair play to them!

Only ourselves to blame I’m afraid. Gutted!

At least we’ve already got six points on the board against the Scum.

 

[uptheus]

Why the hell did Moore leave that ball.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

As I said in the other thread, you can't go through the play offs the way we did and hope to get through. We never led any game, and of the three goals we scored, one was a fluke and one was an own goal. The two we gave away tonight were our own fault. Very diappointing indeed - not just the defeat but the manner of it.
