Away Match Day Thread 22/02/2022 L1: Crewe Alexandra v OUFC

[Ox4Eva]

Poor game, but all that matters is the 3 points..

Up the U's!

 

[Johnf]

1-0 to the Oxford boys that’ll do

 

[ECYellow]

Poor performance and probably Saturday with both Oxford and Cambridge wearing the black armbands

Why not tonight as well? First game since the news. Mark of respect.

 

[Leysboy]

Not a great game by any means, but we got the 3 points, which is absolutely excellent. With Wycombe, and Plymouth losing and now Sunderland losing it could be a great night.

Well done lads, and let’s get another 3 points against Cambridge.

 

[Sarge]

was never going to be pretty on that pitch .... nicking a 0-1 win away from home is a good result...irrespective of the opposition

I know, maybe it couldn’t get organised in time or the club may have thought Saturday hopefully with a much bigger crowd than tonight.

Karl speaking brilliantly about Joey once again.

You can question him tactically and in the transfer window, but you can't question the man. We are extremely fortunate to have Karl Robinson as manager.

Very ooor pitch and some over hit passes tonight, with Cambridge on Saturday and a much better side we will have to up the ante

 

[jaybeachjump]

To get to 74 points, the same as last season, we need 5 more wins. I don't know what others think, but to me this year feels much tighter. I think we will need six more wins.

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Wow
KR saying the unsayable
I know people don’t like Kassam and don’t come because of him but please come for Joey on Saturday

better pitch on Saturday

 

[Northstandboy]

better pitch on Saturday

Cambridge got a brilliant result v Plymouth this evening.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

That'll do, get home, recover and turn it on on Saturday

 

[Scotchegg]

Effectively 5 points better off than 7th once you include goal difference. Plymouth v Rotherham, Wigan v Sunderland, MK v Bolton on Saturday, plus Wycombe with a tricky away game at Accrington. Another 3 points against Cambridge and it could be looking even better at 5 on Saturday.

 

[Sarge]

Cambridge got a brilliant result v Plymouth this evening.

did us a favour ... still fancy us to beat 'em Saturday

 

[holdsteady]

Two away wins and two clean sheets in a row after a little bad run, I will take that. You can’t win 4-0 every game, big game against Cambridge Saturday now for a few reasons but we need to keep this run going, autos are gone but the play offs are looking one hell of a battle.

One Million per cent correct - we would all have taken three points at 7.45 pm and a clean sheet

We looked very good in the first half without working their keeper but after the break we lost control of the midfield for a large chunk of it.

Crewe improved but for us it was a gritty three points and we move on to Cambridge who are in decent nick.

We may need to freshen it up.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Did someone order a scrappy 1-0 win?

Post #2, and I AM happy although missed the last 10 minutes due to a power cut

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Shame Wycombe had to bottle it against Wigan. Needed them to drop some points tonight

I thought Wycombe self pronounced themselves as L1 Champions after beating us 2-0 and topping the table on January 15th ?

 

[MC Yellow]

A tough game and we seemed a little off par after an excellent first 15 mins or so.

But it is another 3 points on the board, 2 away wins and 2 clean sheets on the bounce.

Really feel that the signs are there to secure a playoff place. After that, to some extent it is a lottery, but we do seem to have the resolve to pull it off.

I felt that Taylor was a bit too self indulgent on a few occasions tonight. He had some better options tonight and maybe his goal tally is playing on his mind. But he is a striker I guess, and he can be forgiven for eyeing goal at every opportunity.

COYY’s.
