Home Match Day Thread 01/01/2023: L1: OUFC v Exeter City

[RyanioBirdio]

Exeter had the two best chances of the first half and McGinty made a wonder save two minutes after they scored to keep it at 1-0. Plus Moore made a fantastic block on the line. They were more than worthy winners.

KR out-thought yet again.
Get rid of him.
Now.

 

[BrockBuster]

Oft, played out exactly as I feared. Didn't take decent chances then got far too loose at the back. Warning signs were there. Just no steel in midfield when we need it.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I thought Murphy should have come on at half time. Yanic has a good first half but you could tell he wasn’t going to last much longer.
I thought Tyler was very good today but you could tell the front 3 hadn’t play together before. It was a lot more fluid movement on Thursday with Murphy, Taylor and Bodin.
Bate was excellent 1st half but just wasn’t in the game 2nd half. Brannagan was quiet by his standards. McGuane yet again had a good game.

To be honest our home atmosphere has never been that good since being at the Kassam and I remember plenty of games at the manor when it wasn’t that great.
Won’t of helped being a damp, cold day with probably many hungover from last night.

You can close your eyes, put your head in the sand and ignore what’s blatantly obvious to pretend Taylor can play up front on his own but he just can’t anymore, the goals have dried up and he can’t hold the ball up, desperate for another centre forward in this January.

It won’t make any difference to us getting in the play offs, that’s completely gone, but at least we should see a few more wins.

Today was really our last chance to push on and get a run going, once we beat Charlton we needed to follow it up, on top first half and then lose the game.

Thought we played well in the first half. This said, whilst we could and should have scored a couple, so could have Exeter (although we were the better side overall). 2nd half the same as Thursday, very poor and Exeter deserved the three points.

Not sure what worries me the most, our lack of consistency (between games and during matches) or the fact we once again finished with four centre halves (and looked at the end like creating sweet FA as a consequence).

That felt like the last chance to kick start a play-off push, so feels like a good time to thank Robinson for his services and allow someone new to come in, understand what’s happening, and build for next season. I’m assuming of course we are too good to go down….

Oh come on!!!!! Really??

 

[Jster]

We really need someone who can put the ball in the net when we're on top.

 

[Sarge]

I know I’m going to get slaughtered on here but, for me, KR was tactically outmanoeuvred again today. Yes we were good in the first half but the Exeter manager tweaked things at HT to take control of the midfield. KR did nothing to counter it.

It seems to me that other managers change their tactics while KR just changes his personnel and hopes for the best.

Pre match decided changes instead of changes to improve the chances of winning it appears

Oh come on!!!!! Really??

New Year’s Day atmosphere is always s**t, with the bank holiday tomorrow I was a bit surprised games were not played then in the Football league, probably would of got bigger crowds.

And some big strong midfielders

 

[TailsWeWin]

Robinson’s tactical nous = 0

 

[YellowSubmarine]

This BBC Radio Oxford interview with Karl is an absolute farce.

I’m sick of this s**t.

 

[Paul Cannell]

And some big strong midfielders

And wide defenders.

Is it ?? It wasn't for Exeter fans . What's New Years Day got to do with it .. worst excuse ever...

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Manager/Coach - Will the current management team get us promoted if given more time?

As posted.

@Malc - Why was this closed ? It’s an entirely neutrally asked poll. It’s not an anti kr thread unless that’s the overall result that comes out. I don’t see any other polls to gauge opinion quantitatively like this.

Even the forum owner has voted on it. @northstandboy and 14 people voted inside 15 minutes which suggests the forum users have an interest in expressing their opinion

Please RE-open it.

Robinson's halftime team talk must have been an absolute classic!!

Defeat clutched from the jaws of victory.

Did he throw Bodin and Murphy under the bus for not changing the game.
Like he did Sykes and Agyei
