Away Match Day Thread 14/01/23: L1 - Fleetwood Town v OUFC

[JOHN BOY]

As long as coco is in charge almost no chance of Stevens coming back in the building.

Stephens will not play again whilst kR is manager.

Watched the game and highlights, if it weren’t for him first half, we were dead and buried.
Their keeper had to deal with the same conditions as ours, had less to do but ended up on the losing side.
as I’ve said he won’t be happy, but if it weren’t for him today, there’d be no 3pts.

 

[Jason N]

Looked like it was leaning backwards.

No that was the Fleetwood Striker who missed from 3 yards!!!

 

[bazzer9461]

Think he underplayed the result but his comments regarding Ciaron Brown were top notch.
If he’d been more like that with others in the past, I’d have a better opinion of him

Yes I thought that his support for Ciaron Brown was good

 

[bdodwell]

Agree with everything, except Findlay at LCB. I’d rather have Long at RCB, Moore at CB and Brown at LCB. I don’t want Findlay anywhere near a 3-5-2 formation; especially against Ipswich!

I don't want Findlay anywhere near, not even sub!

Re Easty - his performance was equivalent to that of a striker who scores two but misses a sitter. The goal wasn't good but he kept us in it and paved the way for the win.

Can't agree more with this. What a perfect analogy, however, I'd say he'd scored a hattrick before missing a sitter.

 

[Malc]

What should be illegal is ifollow able to charge an absolute fortune for a sub standard service. I wish the club and league would bin the coverage and the only way to view a game should be to attend the match in person.

That's not nice for all the exiles who use the "service". Definitely not anywhere near good broadcasting, but it's all we've got.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Stephens will not play again whilst kR is manager.

Exactly what I said. He wont return for the dam wrong reasons!

 

[Essexyellows]

Wet, windy and an away win after luck actually goes our way for a change.

From the build up thread.

Thank you.

Ah, ok. I hadn’t realised it was that simple. Is that based on our historical finishes under him?

Probably more based on the deteriorating performances over the last season. But never fear, we will continue to see him in charge as long as the board think that there are still people waving little "We love karl" flags, even after 5 years of achieving nothing, with the groundhog coming out for yet another day.
Other boards give the manager a fair chance to succeed. Our board seem oblivious to the substandard on field antics, under robinson that continue to bight our season. Apart from the odd piece of wallpaper he pulls out of the bag to paper over the cracks.
He would be gone if he truly wanted the best for the club.

Thats interesting, the test would be if Mcginty let in a lot of similar shots which he hasn’t yet, but may do. I think a big problem this season is that the midfield lets people run at us and allies them space to shoot.

More than happy for people to justify Mcgintys selection, over what 3or 4 games.

I’ve watched him dozens of times for Sligo and yes he can have games like Bala were he kept Sligo in the Europa cup it’s the other game that worry me.
if our coaches think he’s anywhere near the level of Eastwood or stevens, I’d be concerned.
Sligo have just resigned John Mahon, alongside pijnaker they’ll be sound and young McNicholas will I only get better

 

[Northstandboy]

I'm confused, aren't you all watching ifollow illegally on a Saturday anyway?!? I'd quit while you're winning!

Not illegal to watch overseas

 

[Symp59]

Easty played well yes he maybe should have saved it .But it's league 1 . Great result we owe Wycombe one and maybe just maybe a point next week. It's time we really put on a performance so why not next Saturday a big crowd they will sell out there allocation.

 

[Mad Dog]

Haha using a VPN is not illegal. Paying to watch a game, using said VPN, is certainly not illegal. You sausage.

Ok, illegal was probably the wrong word to use, but I thought Saturday 3pm games weren't allowed to be aired, which means you're all being Very Positively Naughty

Who is waiving “We love Karl” flags? I want him gone like most people from the looks of things. Absolutely delighted we won today though, hope we do again on Sat.

I mean yes, technically it goes against the T&C’s of the VPN provider, but it’s not illegal. If I have to ‘say’ that I’m in Holland so that I can pay to watch Oxford, then dat vind ik oké, I guess!

I believe the 3pm blackout that you mentioned is only applicable in the UK. Luckily, because of my VPN, I happened to be in Holland this afternoon. Anyway, the old bill are too busy arresting Twitter to worry about me.

This place makes me laugh!

"Karl Robinsons first 11 got battered in the first half by Fleetwood!"
And the changes Karl Robinson made in the second half were enough to get a win!

"Robinson's signings, Murphy and Wildschut were shite in the first half."
And Robinson's signings, Joseph and Brown scored the vital goals that gave us the win.

"We're only 8 points off the relegation places and can still get drawn in"
We're only 8 points off the play offs, could they still happen?

Can't we just enjoy a hard battled win at a place we always seem to struggle and leave all the negative shite for one day?

The difference is that Wildshcutt and Murphy have not been available all season, and we have been told countless times that they will make a big impact and that this is the reason why our season has been so poor.

Both have played a few games now and BOTH should definitely do better. Murphy was a disgrace today, for someone who is so highly rated, and has undoubted ability, just doesn't seem to give a sh1te..

Whereas, Joseph and most definitely Brown, do not have that ability, but have shown that they give a t0ss and have commitment to the cause.

So the main point of your argument is mute, IMO.

But well done, for taking the Moral High Ground as usual.
