Away Match Day Thread 06/01/2024: FAC R3 Cov City vs OUFC

[Northstandboy]

It’s going to be Hard game!

 

[OX14]

Did I hear right that Rosie, when talking after the game, said there was differences in the club at the moment which aren’t helping along with the large injury list?

I didn't hear him say that but that's what I'm alluding too.

From what I was told yesterday. It may not be true so take it how you wish.

Owners , Board and other employed members not having the same vision and becoming frustrated by lack of progress and broken promises. It's got to the point where one very high up member wants to resign from their position.

‘OX14 said:
It's not the place to air the clubs dirty laundry when you have non fans looking in but I will say it's not all rosey behind the scenes. Questions need to be asked/ demanded to be answered by Oxvox of what is going on at the club.’

Well why mention it on a public forum then? Either tell us fellow fans what you have been told or don’t speak about it at all.

Is it not incredibly obvious to everyone that something is clearly wrong? Very wrong?

The coaching staff thing should be setting so many alarm bells ringing.

As should the planning permission thing. As should the fans forum thing.

It doesn't feel hard to guess what the issues may be.

 

[Eaststanding]

No words.

Thank goodness

I'm just trying to remember if press steel used to have matches postponed, for watterlogged pitches .I was working in Horspath village for 18 months .. At the end of last season they ripped up the whole of the pitches & relayed them . Maybe that's the problem????

Much of the country suffering from flooding is reporting groundwater rising, not necessarily more conventional river flooding. The ground just can't take anymore. I think Des mentioned the building was underwater. It is not surprising with the facilities sunken down on the far side of the site, plus the railway embankment just behind, no doubt acting as a barrier to water flowing on.

Whilst talking of weather. We're heading for quite a cold snap, with various weather models predicting a bitterly cold snap mid Jan. I can't help but think a few postponements would not be a bad thing??

Who wants to resign? Do you know which person it is?

 

[Followtheox1]

Was DB asked about backroom staff?

Yes unfortunately it isn't dumb or dumber

 

[Essexyellows]

Glad that wasn`t a long return journey.

They got a lesson today in how to finish and don`t f`eck around when you`ve got the ball.

We are far,far from a Championship side.

Christ on a bike! Spit it out.

On another note, you should take up fishing, you love sticking bait out there looking for bites

 

[Skybluearmy87]

Coventry fan again in peace , excellent following from you boys today , and a good crowd really of just over 18,000.

Unfortunately for you today I felt like we played very well and moved the ball fantastically at times ..
All the best for the remainder and i hope you find yourself in the promotion race come may

Then you need to share that with us. And be specific about the broken promises and differences in vision/direction.

I've got to admit the rain has been quite relentless the past year . This is what it would be like coming from the canal way to Stratfield brake. It would be like this if we was to have gone there... Lucky I had my wellington boots on nearly up to my knees..

Lovely day out thanks, easy parking,enjoyed Dhillons.

Only downsides being the result and the traffic lights at Hen Lane.

I’m not sure that it IS Kip, you hardly ever mention it.

Well then the owners need to get a grip of the situation. They own the club and employ these people. They are experienced men and need to make sure they have the right people in place.

Not looking for bites. Just the majority on here need to wake up and realise all is not rosey behind the scenes.

:No planning application submitted and no explanation as to what the hold up is.
: no promised fans forum
: no assistant manager
: no analysis has been announced
: no signings so far.


Time for the owners to come out and speak.

 

[BrockBuster]

Players looked shattered today. Understand why DB gave them a couple of days off after the Charlton game. Reckon Tuesday night will be a write off with bits and pieces likely selected. Maybe McGinty as a winger at this rate.

Have you been away all week? It’s been spoken about all week, highlighting the points you make.

So which member of staff wants to resign?
