Home Match Build Up 7/5/23 L1: OUFC v Accrington Stanley

[Manorlounger]

Sign off what has been an abysmal season, with a win. Full house of home supporters all wanting to see another home win, goals and lots to cheer.

12:00 kick off is not ideal but it will mean, hopefully, a chance to enjoy the weather.

And, if the club can manage it, an opportunity to advertise season tickets for the coming season.

Now we have the big fancy score board and electronic advertising boards it is actually very easy to advertise season tickets throughout the afternoon and catch people’s eye. Same for the new kit.

Am I being a bit too optimistic about our marketing department?

Well done John Colman, an honest account of the game. Holding himse to blame and praising Cambridg.
Christ if that had been Robinson, he’d of blamed the ref, the linesmen, the fourth official, the ball boys, the tea lady, the programme seller and the fans.

Robinson would probably blame the women's team for being so successful this season that it had a negative effect on the men's team. I'm glad I will never have to hear his voice again concerning us.

Flying back to the UK this week but am taking the family to the circus on Sunday so can't get to the game. Poor planning on my part although I'd like to blame the EFL.

I thought you meant the match by these words until I read on.

Ridiculous midday kick off time at high noon - on a Sunday . IMO its a load of ( unnecessary ) bollox

Stanley all but relegated ?, I d like to see a third win on the trot and finish the season in style- and on 50 points
. I fancy a 3-0 home win, (with 8 days to go in the run in to the last game of the campaign)

Magnificent clip
I watched it twice

 

[Peterdev]

Oxford hopefully on the up as managerless Swindon and Reading look to continue their downward trend

He‘s a quality manager and always seems to be a top quality bloke. I wish them well and hope he can get them back up.

First match we can relax in a long, long time.

Think Eastwood, the back four, McGuane & Brannagan all deserve to start as they're the ones that have dug in and kept us up this past month.

In front of them, Joseph deserves a final start just to recognize that he's absolutely run himself into the ground for his loan team. Goodrham should start as a reward for his progress and two massive goals in the past week. Don't much care who the other two are.......

I didn’t realise Swindon sacked yet another manager yesterday afternoon.

Since 2013 they’ve changed their manager an incredible 21 times and had 40 different managers since 1993.

Since Richie Wellens left in November 2020 they’ve had 9 changes of head coach/manager.

It will be even harder for them to get out of L2 with a massively strong Wrexham, resurgent Notts Co.
and big competition from the likes of Bradford and Stockport if they don’t go up this time.

If we'd have gone down that would have been another 6 points they would have missed. With us staying up they have a remote chance of avoiding relegation. The Derby Triangle is some way off!

If Cambridge win at Burton on Wednesday they will be officially relegated before our game on Sunday

Very dignified interview.

For a second I thought you meant you were going to a Swinedon game

 

[uptheus]

Unlikely, but a 6-0 win would see us finish without negative GD.

Stupid time for a ko though, tends to be a very slow game kicking off at that time.

Edit: Just noticed that's my 666th post, so I'm sticking £6.66 on for 6-0, 66-1?

Are you playing ‘Devils Advocate’?

 

[uptheus]

I wonder what next seasons excuse will be for next seasons kit arriving late/ after the season starts ?

First time Tim & Grant have been involved with a summer transfer window, but they’ll do a full thorough review of the situation, but will learn by this experience following a ‘lessons learnt’ meeting for future requirements.

Spoke to the Kitman on Saturday & I think he said something will be released in the next couple of weeks apparantly.

Yes, half the players probably!

Oh if we ran a football club.... In the next 2 days I would be announcing a FREEZE of prices for current ST holders + a frozen Early Bird price for non ST holders as an apology for the bad season. Then as you said, advertise on that scoreboard!
