    Away Match Day Thread 29/03/24 - L1: Shrewsbury v OUFC

    2-1 imo, Brannagan and Dale. They’ll nick one late on to make it a nervy finish. Real chance for us to put a bit of daylight between ourselves and the other three in our mini league today. One of stevenage or orient will drop points (hopefully both) and you’d expect derby to beat blackpool at...

    Ex Player #36 Jay Matete

    I know it’s a moot point, because at this stage we aren’t going to commit to it, but I think an odd quirk of our season is that we have a squad that is (almost) tailor made for playing 343. Brown and Thorniley are two solid LCBs, Moore is the ideal slightly immobile but commanding middle CB, and...

    Promising for us. The comments about fitness are welcome, given the game changing options we now have off the bench.

    Away Match Build Up 29/03/24 - L1: Shrewsbury v OUFC

    Not one for hyperbole but I do think tomorrow is a must win. Given it seems generally acknowledged we need at least four more wins, this is absolutely one of the fixtures we should be looking at to pick up 3 points. We can’t be going into games against Posh, Stevenage and this resurgent Lincoln...

    Annoyingly Sonny Bradley got himself sent off for Derby (in the 100th minute!) yesterday, which will mean he misses the visit of Blackpool for them.

    Really sorry but I don't know why certain posters, I'm afraid yourself included, seem to feel the need to turn every thread into a binary 'Manning Good Buckingham Bad' mudslinging. All the points have been done to death, let's leave it for this thread eh? I love these kinds of threads at the...

    Can’t stand this kit. Especially when the red and black is such a peach.

    Late to this, but I’m really not sure about that lineup. Smacks possibly of a manager running out of ideas and throwing s**t at the wall to see what sticks. Bennett for Leigh is a brave call - I don’t think Leigh has been the player he was pre injury since he’s come back - but not having a...

    General Club/Fan Problems in a Nutshell

    Honestly I think a huge part, pretty uninspiring football and lack of organised and committed fan group in the mould of the ultras aside, is this sense of existential anxiety over the club’s future at the moment. I know I certainly feel it. It’s quite difficult to get too excited about anything...

    Doesn’t sound like last weekend was the springboard we hoped.

    Not sure Harris has done anything to merit being dropped? Despite not scoring he was very good again last week.

    On train back to london. First things first, great away day. Really good atmosphere from both sets of fans and a really good, feisty game of football. For me, the most enjoyable day at the football since Leyton (away!). I think you’d have to be very churlish not to admit that that was an...

    Staggeringly frustrating. By far the better team on the day. Comfortably our best performance under Des. They’ll probably win the league. No idea how they’re top based on the quality of side but they seem all season to have had that knack of winning games they shouldn’t.

    Away Match Day Thread 02/03/2024 L1: Portsmouth v OUFC

    Hope springs eternal. There’s been very little in the last couple of games to suggest that we’re going to be able to do anything here, but I’m setting off for Fratton with the vague sense that last week, and the reaction to it, could be something of a tipping point moment for Des and the...

    Agreed - thought it was a good question from Nathan - but I think the point that he didn’t try to sugarcoat the performance today stands.

    With respect, I’m not sure what posts like this are trying to achieve? I don’t think anyone’s pleased with how today or the last few games have gone. How is deliberately trying to start an argument on this forum going to help anything? You can voice frustrations and without needing to make it...

    I only caught the first half of his interview so maybe I missed it, but Des started the interview by saying we were second best and didn’t deserve anything from the game. I thought it was commendable candour and appreciated the honesty. We’re all frustrated but I don’t think this is something we...

    I really want Des to succeed, and I really want to back him, but f**k me it’s getting hard. Tuesday was frustrating. That today was just deflating. Need to start with the opposition, who I thought were very good. Leyton well worth the win. Barring a couple of decent spells for us, much the...
