OUFC v Palarse not a real match thread thingy

[IsleofWightYellow]

Like the way curruthers moves with the ball. He's not getting much today but looks like someone who could make things happen in L1

I agree, I like the way he drives forward and dribbles, just what you need to open up teams in L1. Given Brannigan can play a good long ball over the top, the wingers like to get to the byline and the fullbacks can swing an early cross in, we should at least have a few ways to attack the opposition

I wonder what mr Kip thinks about that first half.

Gutted probably

He’s been class. Not afraid to stay on the ball.

To be honest, I don’t think anyone has had a bad game.

They will come at us hard again first 15 - suspect we might bag another when they do. Cant see us losing this (imp for confidence) after thinking we might get trounced by 3 or 4. CP beat Halmstads 6-1 and they are 3rd in the Swedish league. Maybe 4 wins and 2 losses in the WC for England was much more average than the suggested restoration of pride.

Carruthers and Brannighan both look excellent.
Plenty if promise once Hall and Mackie are match fit.
Agree with whoever said we are a good striker from looking a decent side

 

[Osleroad]

So, who was confident when Obika rounded the keeper and then started dribbling with it?

No one..seemed to take a lifetime!

(I haven't looked back over the whole thread so it has probably been mentioned.)

What a save by Simon Eastwood from Zaha, truly a top class save.

An excellent performance.

I think we're a good striker away from a very good starting XI and roughly 4 players away from completing a solid squad. Pleased with what I've seen.

I think 4 more players, comparable the quality of those we've seen to date, gives us top 2 potential, particularly if one is a half-decent striker and another a combative CDM.

Personally I don't think we can accommodate another 4, and it'll be either 2 or 3 more.

Probably crying his eyes out whilst being dragged around a garden centre

Had a look at a few Palace forums at half time, they were raving about it. And then raging at the Carruthers foul over the top.

 

[FalmouthOx]

they are doing the love train.... you cant man mark - really dont get why we dont do it

 

[beyondthefourth]

Another wonder save!

 

[FalmouthOx]

what a king

 

[stokeu]

that's a top class save

 

[beyondthefourth]

Palace level. Good work from us before it though! We just got caught by a top level side on the break.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Zaha is quicker than Dickie, hint of offside though

 

[radicalox]

Great finish by palace there.

 

[beyondthefourth]

Whyte and Henry(?) off for Baptiste and Napa

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Carruthers looks superb
