Home Match Day Thread 23/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Barnsley

[Carpy]

Should be our toughest test of recent times this evening if the form table is to be believed

 

[FatOldSun]

Wonder why Wycombe's games always go on for so long.... And then they seem to let a goal in when most other stadiums have locked up for the night.

 

[Gregortheox]

That was absolutely unacceptable. Gobsmacked how poor we are.

 

[greatunclekip]

You don't go to matches though???

Saturdays as often as I can and midweeks on Ifollow. That's after having a season ticket for 15 years until 2021.

So I kinda do.

That said, Charlton also let in a 97th minute goal to lose at home. I reckon that'll be the end of Appleton.

We’re very lightweight.
Rodrigues and Goodrham both struggled a bigger lads and the conditions.
Moore and Brannagan can’t carry the team against teams with physicality and a bit of nouse.
Credit to Smyth who came on done his job very well, and tried to make things happen.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I get really fucked off how knee jerk everyone is after a defeat!
Yes it wasn’t a great game but is it the end of the world? No!
We are going to lose more games this season as well, even games that we should win but guess what, we will also win more games that we lose and win games we don’t deserve to.

I think anyone would bite their hand off if someone said we would be in the top 6 after 27 games! Especially since we have had just 1 striker and a long line of bad injuries.
We have Goodwin to come in, we will make more signings before next week as well.
After last season this wasn’t going to be a quick fix, especially when the manager you bring in fucks off at the 1st opportunity.

The knee jerk hysterics isn’t needed or helpful.

Rant over.

At least we fans can relax a bit knowing we are safe from relegation this season....this squad is nowhere near good enough for promotion at this time.

Isn't this a knee jerk reaction in itself?

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

Certainly not cheap, but how much better would Manning have managed that?

We’d have probably gone 1-0 up early in the second half, inexplicably sat back and lost 2-1.

Thought Smyth was solid and positive on the ball, should start Saturday whether Long’s fit or not.

 

[Dilla]

I feel it is harsh to judge that performance purely based on the conditions they had to play in.

 

[CCYellow]

If only we had McGinty and Josh Johnson to bring off the bench. They would have turned the game for us.

#ambition

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Awful result, awful tactics, awful performance.

Still, at least we have another striker back in 3 weeks and Edwards back in April, so things can change!

How your boys Charlton do ?

Depends where you compare it from. If you compare it from being 2nd when snake left us then yes it is disappointing...

[oufc1991]

Well that was disappointing to say the least we were bad I mean I can't remember a game this season at home where we were that bad ( not saying there wasn't one just can't remember) ..... Barnsley I hope they lose the play off final again that was poor from them that took time wasting to a new level.... Our new goalie I'm going to say the weather didn't help him ( that's being kind) ... Tyler Burey= Gino van kessel

Were lucky manning got this team playing the way they started the beginning of the season that's all I'm saying

No Steve. We are justified when the performance was so poor as it was tonight.

You and Scotchegg can be positive if you like, but from what I saw tonight, there was no positive bones to pick out of that game tonight.

It was crap!!

 

[notThisWayButThat]

I don't think that was the game to bring Long back.

 

[battman]

How can we be ‘nowhere near’ good enough if we’re 6th 27 games in? We’re currently near being good enough!

 

[Scrongo]

Well I tell you this, the people that actually went to the game ,seem to be having a different view & opinion of the game & situation , than people that didn't.. mmmmm

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Maybe but I do get tired after every time we lose we suddenly become a mid table team at best. We are in the top 6 on merit due to our performances after 27 games. If we fall short then it will be down to not being good enough for the top 6 but I refuse to throw the towel in when we will still bring players in and have 19 games to play.
