Home Match Day Thread 7/4/2023 L1: OUFC v Sheffield Wednesday

[Nadi-]

Thought we should of had 2 pens, she bottled the first
Brown defends the left on his own, wildschut awful and the goal summed him up.
Other than that everyone including the subs comes out of it with credit.
Manning has shown more tactical awareness and nouse in 3 games than the previous turnip

Turnips are better imo than tomatoes
Where are you from? Larnden?
I think we need to hiss/support players more. Make it a 3 ended Bernabeu - rather than be middle class complaining keyboard warriors. Put some heat on players - or encourahe them - if they think we just watch silently and dont hear the "care" then why would they? We need to move on from the KR/:LM debate - of men who stand and fight we demand. The boys we can weed out and give 0 more minutes .

This whole season about player management.. We have seen that great teams on paper aren;t delivering. Everyone has to be min 7/10 each game - pick the team by it! ?? One weak link maybe sinks the submarine but thats how you grind results. Then for the last 3, set 5 up front and bet 4+ lol Lets be prepared to lose 7-5 if we then win the next two 9-3 and 7-4

We look better in a back 3. Joseph and O'Donkor uptop is the way to go.

Good game and some real positives Browne and Brown were great. Murphy and Wildschut can’t see why they get picked. Some ref’s would have given the first penalty, but got away with Bran‘s elbow at the end. (. Why the dropped ball, didn’t get it ) Great effort from the other seven plus the subs put so much effort in. A good day out. Thought the ref did well really, kept the game flowing. Shame Stanley picked up three. Is Elliot out for Monday ?

Hopefully it’s his ankle

I buy my tomatoes from a vegetable stand. Nuff said

 

[Theox07]

this is our best line up
Eastwood
Anderson Moore Findlay Brown
Mcguane Brannagan Browne
Joseph Odonkor Goodrham/ Fleming

I don't get this pass back pass sideways we had numerous chance's where we could have attacked but passed backwards what made it more annoying was when we actually attacked we looked good we looked capable of scoring we looked dangerous BUT anyway I'm happy with a point

I will bet anyone here £200 that KR either wins promotion NEXT SEASON or gets into play offs with any team he joins - next years expectations in terms of investment might need managing. Surely without that nothing else matters. We get strung along for another year, argue amongst ourselves, but like many fans are no nearer to the promised land...what is it LM????!!! A "panacea"

 

[oufc1991]

They were singing Oxford songs to be honest they looked a bunch of mugs don't really need plonkers like that around our football club IF they were Oxford fans

Is that offer 'first come first served'?

I'd be interested but there may be more worthy cases than I...

He probably will as he won’t have had an opportunity to put the squad together himself.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Just got home, we'll certainly have taken that before the match and thought we were well worth the point today.

Special mention to the fans today, thought we were fantastic and out sung Wednesday all match. Just what we need a bit of positivity. Just need that win now and we're golden.

who cares? some fake-fans wore sheepskin jackets to the manor and arrrogantly meandered amongst the left side.....once!

He can build a decent enough squad when he actually gives a s**t. The problem here in his last year was that he very clearly stopped giving a s**t and managing us was a bit of an inconvenience.

not trying to be negative, but I watched it on TV and first half all you could hear was Wednesday fans. Second half sounded good though.

Much better today. Christ if we had even another month with Manning we wouldn't be in this mess, the difference in performance has been night and day from the previous manager.

Either Browne or Brown MOTM for me, although McGuane also had a decent game. I'd still like him to be more positive though, there's too many three yard passes between the centre backs for me.

Hopefully Moore isn't too bad but if he misses out it might force us into a wingback formation which would be no bad thing. Fleming when he came on made a fantastic block and also had a great run that nearly led to something. Also means we don't play wingers so can bin off Murphy and Wildschut who were both awful today and contributed nothing, they could have both been off at half time with no complaints.

Also Eastwood was brilliant in the second half after an incredibly shaky opening, much more commanding from crosses and the save from the header was too drawer.

Results have gone against us elsewhere today but I've said since Manning came in we'll be safe and I stand by it, very confident that we'll be clear before the final game of the season despite the mess he was left.
