Steve Clarke was in the Director's box watching Findlay today.

I'll always try and stay optimistic, I don't want to end up like some of the miserable sods on here and Twitter

How dare you come on here with your glass half full optimism ! Shame on you

 

[Irish terrier]

Just want to say young Tyler ,, he’s going to be a hell of player , absolutely shines when he plays .

 

[Hackney Jack]

Really important three points after a bizarre week in the transfer market.

Sounded a tricky and dull game, and the players did great to get past the time wasting Burton tactics, and an appalling ref.

Well done all at OUFC and the fans. A happy weekend again !

 

[sideshowrob]

I have just seen the highlights and it confirms what i thought at the time. A blatant foul on Long in the build up to their goal.

 

[forevayella]

I don’t use twitter, I could be classed as a miserable sod, but I’m actually being realistic.

I’m as sad as you about our latest transfer window.

Come on you realistic miserable sod, turn that frown upside down. We’ve won 3 games in a row

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Well, for those that would forego entertainment for results that's what it'll be like!

Three points, lets move on and hope Findlay's injury isn't too bad.

 

[Mad Dog]

Mous playing again and playing assuredly is akin to a signing

It’s gonna have to be!

 

[oufc1991]

Young Tyler is the league one Messi simple as

Today wasn't great it was painful to watch at times play like that against the better teams in this league and we will get stuffed BUT 3 points is 3 points

I want to give a shout-out to Burton they aren't very good but they have a game plan and they stick to it which is waste time and try to nick a goal Ince they conceded they actually improved imo

2nd half was great fun despite the football being ropey.

End to end, the ref as pantomime villain, nailbiter finish, 3 points.

What's not to love?

 

[Mad Dog]

Very happy with the win, and for that well done KR and the lads for grinding it out


But man, we, are, shite!

Against any other team, that isn’t as awful as Burton, we would’ve been battered, we were so disjointed and disorganised, all over the place.

Mous MOTM for me, the best CB at the club in my opinion, such an assured performance again, and for me, he gets the nod from now on, miles ahead of Findlay as far as I’m concerned.

Like I say, happy with the win, but I ain’t kidding myself, we’re poor, and until everyone is fit, if that ever happens, we’re gonna struggle.

Just a shame they scored when they did as otherwise I think we’d have got four

Don't agree with you, thought there were worst players today.

Yes there were but Findlays passing was woeful and getting closed down to quick before releasing the ball.
I hope his injury isn’t to bad.

 

[Oldman159]

Oh joy… a typical Kassam ref then?

Makes me wonder….

Who will be the player who gives away the penalty and then gets sent off at 49 minutes (of 46) in first half stoppage time? - Getting his second yellow after being booked for wearing a yellow or green shirt after just 1 min.

Well, I called the ‘added time’ debacle about right. Having seen the 1 min for the first half when Brewers were having a tea break every throw in, I said to the guy next to me “…what’s the betting there’s 8 min after second half especially if it’s close?”

Worse that Kettle.

4kin shock in.

I must also ad Eastwood this man scares me I have no confidence in him with the ball at his feet he's late to come and claim the ball he doesn't like to leave his line unless he has to like how many times did the defence leave it for him and then panic

He did ok today not necessarily late but lack of communication between Easty and his defence

Eastwood’s fine in my opinion, he’s doing well, and is the least of our concerns

 

[oufc1991]

Perhaps that was the issue I just don't feel confident with him in goal btw it's not an Eastwood bashing just my opinion I have to.mous was superb again today

 

[Common Villager]

Poor performance against a very, very poor team. The likes of Ipswich, Pompey etc would've had a field day against us today. I'm very glad we got a win but the performance concerned me.
