Home Match Day Thread 26/12/23: L1 - OUFC v Cambridge

[Northstandboy]

As I said in the build up thread, we need a good performance and result in front of a big crowd.

Completely undeserved and guess what? I couldn't give a toss!

Second half we were much the better team. Only team looking to win it in the second half. So, I wouldn't say undeserved at all.

 

[WuTang]

Get in there!!!! What a relief. Not the best performance but another important win with January reinforcements soon. Onwards and upwards

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Only 6 points off the top, despite being s**t.

7 first team squad players injured, no out and out scorer, manager slithered off, had to recruit a new manager, still lacking back room staff, 5th in the league.

Not too shabby of you ask me.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Des did what Manning couldn’t vs Cambridge!

 

[Wandering Yellow]

We are so much better when we don't put O'Donker on. I'd rather Harris with little gas in the tank than a national south standard striker.

I know Harris can't score but he offers far more.

Terrible first hour. Great final 30 minutes. It's proper mid table stuff this, but at least we're not getting relegated

With the players we have out and having no options up front, that second half was excellent and as good as can be expected.

Think you’re rewriting history here. That first half was so one sided that we could / should have been 4-0 down.

Well done to the team and fans for fighting back

 

[Osleroad]

Well putting the old timers on seemed to work something

(I should have used an irony emoji)

Don't what happend to Cambridge in the second half but the Yellows showed great character to come back and win that....
Well done OUFC

 

[VancouverYellow]

Buckingham really needed that win as did the team. Second half showing looked more like a winning team at least. COME ON LADS. Cambridge shrank after 45 mins!

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Suddenly life feels so much better. What a difference a goal makes!

Nope. Cambridge were the better team in the first half and you are right had some great chances but we still had two excellent chances ourselves and got behind them at least three times. Second half we were the only team looking to win it, they didn't trouble Beadle at all. Just look at the stats regarding shots on and off target! I thought we deserved the win.

 

[Andy1505]

Just what we needed! Hang in there until next year (2024!) and then get some reinforcements in and hopefully get some of our injured players back and who knows....COYY's!!️

 

[battman]

As much as I criticised the players at the break, they stepped it up in the second half. Still lacking attacking quality, but by battling we can still grind out results. We need to work hard to grind out something in the next couple of games, and then our next league game is 13th Jan, which by then we should have a few players back and new attackers in.

 

[Symp59]

I said we needed the best 45 minutes and they battled for him ,brilliant so pleased for Des god we needed that ,keep scrapping the cavalry will surely show .Some great stuff at times ,brilliant for everyone.

 

[unification]

A win is a win. Who cares about the first 45?

Dishy Des stopping the doubters again.

 

[Followtheox1]

Buckingham hopeful Murphy fit for Derby. Out for a while then!

 

[Nadi-]

Where’d we be without Brown
Shame Brannagan didn’t go down, honest lad and drove us on today.
