Home Match Day Thread 16/02/2021 Papa John's Trophy SF - OUFC v Tranmere

[LeftSideBoy]

I’ve been fighting you about this recently, on the performance of Henry tonight I concede that was shocking.

I still believe he’ll contribute to our run in, but he’s out of the first 11 now IMO

It looks as though I’ve got some agenda against him but the truth is, I see him play and quite often, I see him play badly! No one should be immune to criticism. He doesn’t deserve to start, based on how he plays and if we want to go up, that needs to be addressed! Maguane over Henry in CM. All day long!

I’m disappointed tonight like everyone else but we really do have some first class twats as fans

Care to name and shame?

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Oh dear. We’ve reached the “I’m going to moan about other fans reacting badly and then react badly myself by attacking them, because I have absolutely no self-awareness” stage of proceedings.

Have a beer. Worse things have happened at sea.

Goodnight and God bless a unified Korea.

 

[Marked Ox]

No. I'm the guy that hates Henry.

I'm Spartacus


Oh.

 

[Pete Burrett]

Tonight’s performance shows how quickly form can turn.

Well yes, but seven changes and too many average performances didn't help tonight. Can't judge tonight against recent form.

 

[North Wales Yellow]

I think playing away on a decent surface at Portman road on Saturday will help us. Pitch was very bobbly through no fault of the groundstaff

 

[Marked Ox]

Did we miss a pen as well? Missed that.

It has joined Will Grigg's penalty in orbit.

What because they’re talking the truth and not bullshittinf saying we played well but beaten by a better team, when the truth is we played ooor very poor and we’re beaten by a ruthless side that wanted to win at all cost.

Trust in Juche great leader.

Too many changes, too many average performances, trying to see that one setback hasn't undone all of the good work of the previous few months...

The bloody England Cricket side eh...

Mainly the one’s who are ranting on Facebook/ Twitter

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Trust in Juche great leader.

May your family be spared. For now.

 

[North Wales Yellow]

I think Liam Kelly’s stock might have gone up by not being involved tonight

 

[ECYellow]

James Henry. What is he now? He isn’t an effective, quick winger and on tonight’s performance, he’s neither a ball winning midfielder or a playmaker. I think he’s in big trouble when McGuane is fit again.

Rob Hall. It’s been emotional but quite simply, he’s just not good enough anymore and arguably, hasn’t been for 18 months.

Mark Sykes. I’m a big fan of his but I think tonight’s performance goes some way to demonstrate why Robinson has been sparse with his use of Sykes so far this season. He needs to add consistency to be a major player for us (and higher up the pyramid).

Despite the question marks tonight, if Taylor scores the penalty I’m confident we go on to win the game. To counter my counter argument though, I would argue that we haven’t been particularly convincing in the last 3 games.

We’ve a huge month coming up.

 

[North Wales Yellow]

I also think Hanson did OK tonight, there were certainly far worse. Would have started him CDM to give Gorrin a rest and put Forde RB from the start.

I’m taking about the one’s who have completely lost the plot on social media

 

[West Oxon U’s]

I can see why Sykes fell out of favour with Robbo.

Looks technically gifted, quick feet , lots of energy but boy he is unable to tackle properly and gives fouls away for fun
and this allows teams to slow the game down and regroup.

I am not convinced by him and the end product is not there on a consistent basis and his body language isn’t great.

Could be a very good player but he hasn’t developed as much as i thought he would have done by now.

 

[Sarge]

Disappointed , we had an off night (again) on Sky TV, first half performance especially

any other time , some of the many second half misses would've gone in- Tayls will score next game he plays IMO
( Prolific John Aldrige had a ratio of scoring 1 from 3 or 4 chances)

it was the Pizza trophy, not the league (thankfully), - a few players had a below par game, one or two had under-par performances - it (& s**t) does happen

we go again on Saturday... a win V Ipswich, and a win Tues night V Pompey and all will be good again

 

[Eaststanding]

What a ridiculous comment.

12 yards. Against a goalkeeper. One against one. What’s ridiculous about that?
