It’s going to be Hard game!

Mills being taken off on a stretcher….

 

[behindthegoal]

Pure f*****g bullshit, theres no way we should be this bad against a championship team.

Even with 8 first teamers out... yeah we should at least be equal to Coventry

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Left knee for Mills. I’d like to throw my toys out the pram please. I’m miserable.

 

[Swaby39]

replay suggests that’s going to be nasty. That’s no sprain. Bloody hell.

 

[Northstandboy]

Let's just get through this with no injuries.

Doh

 

[Marked Ox]

That really isn't good if he is needing pain relief with the green whistle.

 

[MC Yellow]

How’s your luck …

This is an unbelievably bad afternoon for a multitude of reasons. As has just been pointed out, it feels like we need an entire new team in January, which is probably a bridge too far to feasibly maintain a promotion challenge this season. And Coventry are showing us just how far off the Championship standard we are sadly.

2 strikers, 2 wingers, ideally another midfielder, and seemingly a new first choice keeper too. If we end this January ‘stronger than we started it’ (in Jerome’s words) that will be an absolute miracle.

Hope Stan's OK.

We could be Stevenage who have just lost away to Maidstone.

 

[Oufccraig45]

I think the players owe the 3k Oxford fans an apology

Think the club should give them their money back

 

[windmill]

at this rate we are going to have to buy a whole new team in January.

Why not.

 

[Tomox]

Disaster

Not f*****g equal ffs, just not f*****g this bad.

Eastwood played a major part in keeping the scoreline respectable in multiple games last season, with some superb saves and a number of MOTM performances, which led to us having a vastly superior goal difference advantage on all the teams in and around us going into the last few games of the season, and he deserves credit for that.

But you and others have repeatedly chosen to completely ignore this fact, due to having a very spiteful and childish vendetta and agenda against Easty. Every time we concede a goal when he's playing, you desperately try to attack him and blame it all on him. It's pathetic.

We can all see he's not good enough to be our No 1 anymore, and I'll put money on it that he won't be ever again, and NOBODY is calling for him to be either, but for god sake, give the guy some respect, he's been a great servant to our club, and I can guarantee he's probably better than most No 2 goalkeepers in league one.

I think you are remembering a different season to me and the statistics, Eastwood had one of the worst goals to shot ratios in the division. He was a good goalie for us once but that is a while back now.

Could of been a lot worse if it wasn’t for Eastwood. And for the others I’ll stand by what I’ve said.

Not equal but should be giving them a game. Our starting 11 are decent, our squad is at best.....awful.

 

[Northstandboy]

Mills on gas and air…

 

[Sarge]

that was rather rubbish

 

[notThisWayButThat]

On the gas and air.

 

[chuckbert]

I can’t believe our bad luck.
