Away Match Day Thread 4/3/2023 L1: Lincoln City v OUFC

[QR]

Hardly scoring for fun at Vale though is he ?

Beggars can't be choosers. He's an Oxford player and he should be an option we could consider. Good God we need options up front!

 

[Leysboy]

I thought we played a lot better, but we clearly need a fresh approach with new ideas. To get the most out of this squad until the end of the season. Then whoever is in charge can make the necessary changes to improve squad balance, and look more organised.

Yes it’s frustrating to lose today, but I think we will stay up! There is enough in there to achieve that, and plus there are four teams worse than us in this Lge.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

I’d be more surprised if we stayed up over being relegated.

Sad.

 

[Symp59]

We are the worst team in the league ,1 point from 9 games means at this rate we won't get to 40 points.Thats league 2

 

[Swaby39]

Anderson was bright at the end. I just hope the next manager can put two and two together and see that with 2 wide centre backs at full back it's no wonder you can't create chances. Please.... PLEASE.... Go 343 and get Anderson and Fleming going forward putting crosses in.

Shirt's game plan today was crap. More of the same mistakes expecting something new. So disappointed he didn't take the opportunity to change it.

I honestly can't see where our next point or points will come from our next three games are derby (h) Morecambe (a) Cheltenham (h) we follow that with an away game at Peterborough I hate to say it but I think we are going down and league two really isn't fun

 

[Beast]

Well whoever the new manager is going to be, they have a very hard job to keep us in the league! I thought that b4 the game and I believe that even more after the game too. KR is to blame for the squad he has bulit, with too much money spent on certain players, when we needed a bigger squad and players who we needed in certain positions like a holding midfielder as it was obvious Gorrin would not play much after his bad injury and an out and out goalscorer as we only had taylor, cause you couldnt rely on baldock with the age he is and his ongoing injury issues! I also blame the board for not sacking him a few weeks ago and maybe we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now!

 

[JOHN BOY]

Robinson is laughing all the way to the bank he's left us with the worst squad we've had in years .Absolute disgrace.

 

[greatunclekip]

We are in League 2 next season. Let's plan for that. Appy IN

 

[Oxford84]

Moore wasnt happy having the captaincy taken off him then.

Yep. It’s a f*****g disgrace. That’s why I have zero good feeling towards the clown.

He’s fucked us. f**k the respect

 

[tatabanya]

Everybody would want to play us at the minute people laughed earlier when I said we are odds on to go down . If a manager comes in and gets us out of this he must be good .I said to my nephew before the season get Karl out what a disaster . We are heading in one direction sadly. New manager hopefully this week.

And if you say we’re odds-on now I’d still laugh

 

[Oldman159]

I wasn’t at the game today, Gerome ….

But, it seems, If we didn’t have bad luck, we would have no luck at all.

Who are they going to cross to?

 

[Manorlounger]

Much better performance but, we still can't find the back of the net. That said, it says a lot that so many of us travelled to Lincoln. Many stayed to applaud the players for all their effort.
Had to experience a younger element who, having pushed their way into a space that wasn't big enough for their numbers, left before half time because"there's beer to be drunk". If they came back for the second half, they must have stood elsewhere. Maybe I'm just getting old but that strikes me as very odd.

 

[East Stand Fan]

I’d be more surprised if we stayed up over being relegated.

Sad.

If we stay up then it'll only be by virtue of how bad other teams are and some of those we've really struggled against this year which says it all really. We failed to beat MK Dons twice, lost to Burton and Cambridge plus we were largely outplayed by a second string Forest Green at home. Pretty sure we only drew to Morecambe and Accy also. Had we not scored a last gasp winner first home game of the season and then had some surprise victories away at Exeter, Bolton and then beat Ipswich at home, we'd probably be second bottom and buried by now. I think we're very lucky to have as many points on the board as we have but I can't see where many more are going to come from.

 

[Nadi-]

That was better today, we were in the game for the 90mins,
just the front line is woeful, and has been the case all season.
Should have got something from that today, just caught out by Mandroiu being a bit sharper.

 

[Joey]

Wasn't at the game and didn't watch so might be well wrong but did I hear Brannagan was tasked with protecting out defence? Madness if so, he's the only real goal threat we have in the team. It's an incredible show of negligence to be at this stage of the season without a senior striker in the building.

 

[Swaby39]

Who are they going to cross to?

Oh I agree, not saying it's all them. But certainly not helping. Bit like trying to force a back 4 when we have no defensive midfielder. Why not do ourselves a favour and put an extra centre back in? A wing back would put better crosses in from better positions and lighten the load on Brown, for example, whose legs are best saved for the final third.

Our tactics have lacked common sense all season.

We can’t score why would we want another centre back in
