[Foley]

Not even made the bench. Unbelievable.

Really?
Totally right decision in my view.

 

[greatunclekip]

Not pretty, but 3 points is 3 points. Someone like Madine would have been ideal in this team.

Well done lads.

 

[UTM]

Well and a win in the league, very much needed and keeping us close to the mixer.
Even if not pretty at the end, could be a massive 3 points at the end of the season.

Karl defending Mackie!

 

[Foley]

Ruffles...what WAS he doing.
Nearly a Kevin Brock

 

[OUFC94]

KR confirmed we aren’t looking at any free agents

 

[Foley]

Mackie jesus wept thats got to be it for him

It was Ruffels who did the terrible back pass not Mackie.

 

[tonto]

I didnt realise that

 

[tonto]

Mind you he didnt do much either

Well said Foley , people seem to jump on the bandwagon with Mackie.

This is true, but it was Mackie's pass backwards that was against the whole Oxford game play and put JR in a position where he ended up playing a s**t ball.

Don't spoil it for him

 

[CornishOx]

It may of been Ruffels bad backpass but he should of never been in that position. Mackie got the ball and instead of running forward to the corner... baring in mind he had been on the pitch like 10 mins he decided to go back and put us in trouble. He literally offers nothing.

 

[tonto]

Very sensible caller just on I think he was called jon

Very much this.

And was excused by Robinson because the mistake was made 'by a player who cares'. Similar comment made by him about the opening goal we conceded.

Sorry, but Mackie absolutely created that situation. Everyone, including the crowd, expected him to play that ball forward and he gave them about 40 m of possession by playing it backwards. JR was on the back foot and played a horrible ball to their forward. JR is not without fault, but Mackie is definitely at fault. How often do you see a forward waving his arms in apology for close shave at the other end?

 

[yellowbow]

Massive three points today, well done all involved.

Maybe if everyone sticks together from now and put all the diifferences of the last couple of days behind us, we still can do something special. I’ll hold my hands up and admit that my faith did wobble a bit after Thursday but I’ll do my best to stay positive from now through all the ups and downs that will surely come between now and May. Lets all remember we all support the same team.

 

[Tomox]

So was it Mackie or Ruffels?

 

[beyondthefourth]

So was it Mackie or Ruffels?

Ruffels made the bad backpass, Mackie put him in the situation by a similarly poorly chosen backwards pass himself.

The difference is that Ruffs has built up a decent amount of credit to escape the fan annoyance.

 

[OX14]

Correct it was. But Mackie caused it by passing back to ruffles when he was under pressure when there was an easy ball forward.
