    Ex Player #36 Jay Matete

    Interesting to see some of the usual suspects bemoaning a poor transfer window and complaining why we only sign crocks - from memory no one was moaning about this at the time, the forum seemed to be in collective delirium without a hint of worry. Do love the revisionism on this forum sometimes...

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    I'm sure Mr Williams will be running a cost-benefit analysis across the whole playing staff out of contact this summer, and I think it'll come down to whether Murphy's willing to accept a decrease in his base wage, with more performance-related bonuses included (appearances, goals etc.).

    Three points, a clean sheet and back in the play-offs. It’s something to build on, and there’s plenty of work to do, but finishing in the play-offs is still in our hands.

    Rodrigues lucky to keep his place in the squad, let alone the starting XI. Expecting much better from him and the team as a whole today.

    Ex Player Obscure OUFC XI

    For mine I've only included players who've played at least one game for the club (it's easy to be obscure if you've never played, but even harder if you have played). Have gone back as far as 2015, and the defence was a bit of a struggle to find obscure players who've actually played. Connal...

    Tbh I’m not convinced Short is more than a weathervane coach who does whatever his manager tells him to without question. He was seemingly part of the problem under Karl and is doing nothing to help Des, but he wins one game to Leyton Orient and suddenly he’s the messiah. I don’t get it.

    If you want an average right back on similar wages to Murphy and Brannagan then yes

    Felt like schoolkids led by PE teachers tonight. Both players and management have to buck their ideas up.

    Another goal coming from Rodrigues losing the ball. Been playing like a pub player tonight.

    Players have to take some responsibility too - to a man they’ve been an embarrassment tonight.

    Why the f**k are we not clearing that?

    We’ve been pathetic so far. Playing with a real inferiority complex and scared to move our defensive line away from the edge of the penalty area.

    Sigh, well we’re not winning games when we play well, and weren’t not winning games where we’re playing badly either. Obviously today’s result not a disaster given the opposition, but good performances alone aren’t enough to get us into the play-offs.

    Well, at least we aren’t going to lose from being 1-0 up today.

    I don’t think the answer is to sack him, I think the answer is to help him. We have a very inexperienced management team and we lack an assistant manager with nous and who will challenge Des and also improve him as a manager. I think getting rid of him now wouldn’t fix the situation we’re in...

    Didn’t have the misfortune of catching the game, but we really need to sort out our gameplan. The amount of times we’ve taken the lead in games we’ve not gone on to win is ridiculous.

    There’s all this talk of ‘passing it around the back’ which ignores the fact that we controlled the game for the first 30 minutes and also created two or three good chances in that time to make it 2-0. It can go overboard on occasion, but the onus should be on the players to make better...

    We should have signed a right back and centre back in January apparently, because there was plenty of time to add to our six other signings 🙄

    As much as some like to blame Des for everything, the players have to take responsibility for that. Not having that cutting edge when 1-0 up, giving up possession to make it 1-1, then that absolute mess to make it 2-2.

    Good luck trying to work out the formation based on that
