Away Match Day Thread 29/10/2022 L1 : Bolton Wanderers v OUFC

[Pooleox]

Well done KR!! Your team and your decisions re subs. An amazing and well fought result.

 

[OxfordYankee]

‘XG’, I absolutely hate that nonsense.

It may explain an unlucky game, but the only thing it does over the longer period is to highlight deficiencies in the squad.

 

[Oxford1996]

Karl doesn’t help himself saying we should be on 30 points and sat in the play offs.

 

[Marked Ox]

Mous wasn't in charge today.
KR picked the team chose the substitutes and the tactics.
I would assume that Short was equal on the touchline to Mous.

They clearly haven't realised mobile phones exist now and a touchline ban doesn't mean that a manager isn't banned from the training ground/football activity in the days before.

 

[JOHN BOY]

But @Leysboy wasn’t was he, only the other being childish

Is leysboy your lovechild?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Why is it, don’t just come on saying pathetic, back it up?

Mous was in charge today!

2 results great 4 points, but we’ve been absolutely dogshit since January. It will take more than 4 points to convince me we’ve turned a corner.

Those two results will mean f**k all if we lose to Fleetwood.

Mous wasn’t in charge today, Robinson was and on the side Short was the main guy as he is number 2.

It’s amazing that Mous does 1 good interview and everyone now thinks he is the brains behind everything

9pts off the play-offs with at least one game in hand on those above. 7pts from 4 games against top half sides, 3 of which were away.

Doesn’t change the chronic two transfer windows or the poor start to the season, but it certainly seems like a corner has been turned.

 

[Yellow River]

Feels like its a bit of a gamble playing Anderson at right wing, let’s hope it pays off!

It certainly paid off!

Credit where credit‘s due, that was a cracking result.

As I’ve said previously this current side with its 4 centre backs in defence is probably better suited to playing away. We struggle to get on the front foot and put the opposition under pressure at home with the current available players.

The Bolton fan that was on here earlier was spot on, they put all the subs on early hoping to storm it but it backfired on them, I thought we played better than them they couldn’t get past our defence, brown was superb, what a well taken goal.

 

[Marked Ox]

Player Ratings:

Eastwood: 8 - Absolutely superb reaction save which kept us in the game, and he claimed high balls well. Couple of dodgy kicks but apart from that superb. Nothing he could do for the goal really.

Brown: 9 - What an animal. He basically refused to lose. What a hit for the goal as well.

Findlay: 8 - Solid, composed. Well played.

Moore: 8 - A captain’s performance. Strong, solid.

Long: 7 - Only played a half but did fine.

McGuane: 7 - Worked incredibly hard.

Brannagan: 7 - Most of what he tried didn’t really come off but he worked hard

Bate: 6 - In and out of the game. Not really his sort of game, more of a battle and he’s a little weak. Did some good things though, although his corners were poor.

Joseph: 9 - This guy is a wide forward. Don’t play him centrally, put him on the left or the right and watch him win you games. Great work for the goal, ran his socks off, terrorised his fullback.

Anderson: 7 - I thought he was ok, couple of silly flicks but he’s clearly quick and can play. Completely disagree with the poster who said he’s ‘Bobbins’. I can see him shining in a team with more confidence. Hope he keeps getting a chance.

GO’D: 7 - Ran hard, worked his socks off, was constantly fouled, maybe didn’t make the most of it to convince the ref, but should have had a penalty. Again, better than Taylor has been. It will be a shame if he’s dropped because he doesn’t deserve it.

The Rad Ox match commentators had Brown as a 10 as they couldn't think of anything he'd did wrong.

 

[Johnf]

KR was in charge today not mouse and I just wish some people on here would give him the credit he deserves. The manager staff and players should all be proud tonight.
COYY

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Excellent win and nothing is better than us winning matches .

Doesn’t change the chronic two transfer windows or the poor start to the season, but it certainly seems like a corner has been turned.

The thought of KR having another transfer window frightens the s**t out of me!

10th time lucky?

Would you have been referencing Mous if we had lost?

What would you have done if that was LR in charge and we lost

 

[bazzer9461]

Short-term, the replacements have earned their place. But let’s not right off Taylor too soon overall. He has been struggling, but if we can get some width in January, he will score a few later on this season I’m sure.

Apparently we’ve got the width but alas they’re injured

 

[Marked Ox]

What would you have done if that was LR in charge and we lost

We didn't, we won and what a lovely result it was. He has had loads of criticism when we've lost so only right he gets credit when we win.

 

[JOHN BOY]

As pathetic as saying he should go and then a day later making sure everyone knows how endeared you are to him, and how he has done everything correct today apart from sort out the famine in Somalia, and the war in Ukraine?

Just giving credit where its due.

 

[Oxford1996]

Ciaron Brown making it clear on Radio Oxford that he’s a centre back

I’d be saying I can play up front after a goal like that today.

 

[Big Ron]

What would you have done if that was LR in charge and we lost

Bazzer, I like a lot of your posts but you’re coming across as a mug today. I’m no Robinson fan, but credit where credit is due for Tuesday and todays performances. No ‘what ifs’ or ‘maybes’, just a solid and enjoyable three points.

 

[bazzer9461]

4 points off bottom 4 with a game in hand

4 points below half way with a game in hand.
Win Tuesday and we need to start looking upwards

Some two games in hand as well against teams below and above us
