Your just being naughty now, please behave.

A 1-0 win to the mighty yellows.

We score early on.
Eastwood will be booked in the first half for time wasting.
Taylor will go down feigning a leg injury on 25 mins, resulting in a prolonged drinks break and an ‘impromptu‘ team talk.
At every opportunity Brown will hurl a long throw into the opposition’s penalty area.
Eastwood will be warned again for time wasting.
McGuane will go down feigning a leg injury on 70 mins, resulting in a prolonged drinks break and an ‘impromptu‘ team talk.
Brown will be booked for ambling over from left back to the right wing to take a throw in.
Eastwood will be told to get a move on with his goal kicks.
Brannigan will be booked for kicking the ball away.
Henry will be subbed in the 89th minute, taking an age leave the field of play as he turns to applaud all 4 sides of the ground including the fence end.
Taylor will be subbed in the 91st minute, taking an age leave the field of play as he turns to applaud all 4 sides of the ground including the fence end.
Browne aylor will be subbed in the 93rd minute, taking an age leave the field of play as he turns to applaud all 4 sides of the ground including the fence end.
Postmatch Ainsworth will complain about Oxford’s boring head tennis tactics, their deliberate disruptive play acting and outrageous time wasting from the first whistle.

A bit harsh on Henry he only came in in the 80th minute

A bit harsh on Henry he only came in in the 80th minute

It was tactical genius from the ‘ever so umble‘ one, bringing Henry on in the 80th minute only to try and substitute him 9 minutes later, and then feint surprise when the 4th official reminds you that you’ve already used up the amount of substitutes allowed.

Just think how much time was wasted with these shenanigan!

Nice to see Murphy was one big lie as I expected.

On club website now that he’s not far from returning to training.

Sunday afternoon tea. We'll be visiting Lill's tomorrow morning to pick up a batch, possibly a piece of toffee flapjack as well.

It's the high life at Maison Lounger.

How did Murphy get injured?

Best win of the season. Feel free to bookmark.

How did Murphy get injured?

In the training ground classroom, so bored listening to KR's diatribe that he leant back in his chair and promptly fell over and broke his coccyx. Made a right a**e of himself.

 

[Oxford1996]

How did Murphy get injured?

He had a hamstring injury which was at risk if he was overplayed in minutes. Similar to Browne at Pompey.

Karl then proceeded to overplay him. Which led to injury being significantly worsened.

Wildschut has the same injury but his is far worse.

Almost like you should give players a proper pre season of training/warm weather before throwing them in for games.

 

[JOHN BOY]

Is Murphy ready yet or not.

Very plausible. Full wallet won't have helped.

For what it's worth, we have been very poor this season, and I fully expect you guys to make it 5 losses out of 5 away games for me so far

Injuries are the main factor though in my opinion. Our first choice XI is actually stronger than last season, but we've barely been able to get more than half of them on the pitch at any time. Our three first choice CMs (Scowen - probably our best player, Thompson, and Gape) are all injured, forcing us to play by far the weakest midfield I've seen for years.

Vokes was injured for a month and then rushed back, but he's clearly not match fit yet. Our whole game revolves around getting the ball up to him, so that's a huge loss. Our starting RB (McCarthy), CB (Taffazolli), and LB (Obita) have all also been out injured at different points for various amounts of time, and our only established back-up to Vokes (Hanlan) sustained a long-term injury during the first game of the season against Burton and hasn't been seen since. Throw in a 3 game ban for McCleary and an additional injuries to our back-up CB (Forino), and you basically have a squad decimated by injury, a line-up changing every week, and no rhythm whatsoever.

Finally, our replacement for Stockdale (Stryjek) is a fantastic shot-stopper, but his distribution is pretty awful, so none of our free kicks or goal kicks are going to Vokes' head. We're consequently losing almost every first ball, and then the absence of any combative midfielders has meant that we lose most second balls too. It's been a terrible start. The only bright spark is Anis Mehmeti, who has basically single-handedly carried the team (alongside Mawson at CB who is still an unbelievable player)

Oh boy, are you lot in for a treat come Saturday, with, no doubt, another robinson masterclass on the pitch. You'll be astounded by our pace and tactical awareness, as well as the substitions made.
We'll have you tied up in knots.
