Home Match Day Thread 05/11/2024 - Championship: Oxford United vs Hull City

Not sure how that would help, since he's registered to play for Leyton Orient in the first half of the season, not us.

Ah. Balls.

This is good:

Norwich in the first game had nothing, and I would say Preston were quite poor really.

I think we caught Norwich at a good time e.g. their main striker not wanting to play etc which potentially had a knock-on effect.

I agree Preston were poor, but I felt Hull were one of the poorest teams I’ve seen this season.

For us to beat them when playing really poorly ourselves, probably the worst this season, especially in the first half, was amazing.

 

[LowerSouth]

Can we please sign Coyle

 

[werthersoriginal]

He was tremendous wasnt he? As was Swansea’s number 2 Josh Key. But we are well off for right backs

I’d say Hull were better than Luton or Stoke, certainly not one of the poorest so far. They had good movement on and off the ball and created plenty of chances. If they’d taken them they’d have been out of sight by half time.

I don’t think it was Leigh fault in the first half as he seemed to have 2 players to pick up every time.

Just felt McEachran, Vaulks and El Mizouni weren’t really picking up, especially El Mizouni, so Hull were getting a lot of free space/time.

Goodrham seemed to be playing wide again in the first half, but got a bit more freedom in the second half, and a couple of times he was more central.

Regarding Leigh, I just think he’s too erratic, but you cannot question his endeavour. Good squad player at best.

Perfectly put. In the 1st half he played without any thought at all. Top character though, a real trier. Good lad to have about

I’m not sure if they were good or we were extremely poor, but it felt like the latter!

I also felt that Hull didn’t really play for their manager, probably as they want him gone which may have made them look worse than they actually are/were!

This felt like a huge win on Tuesday but even more so now as a loss would have us in the bottom three after last night's results

 

[NorthWestOx]

Could be a coincidence but we have a lot of seemingly good characters in the squad.

Vaulks another who although he's had a tough start seems like a gem of a human.

No coincidence, we have a 'No d!ckheads' policy.

Unlike this forum.

 

[Yellowecky]

Plan B for Buckingham!

Not only did he come up with a new starting formation, but he regularly tweaks things at half time which this time definitely made a difference.

This hasn't always been the case with our managers!

 

[NorthWestOx]

Just seen the Hull winger Belloumi suffered an ACL and will be out for the season.
He'll be a big loss to them, by far their best player.

He was quality, as you say big loss to them.

The curse of the Kassam Stadium pitch strikes again?

This is good:

Better with the sound muted.

It was Brown’s challenge

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

It was Brown’s challenge

He probably should have come off immediately rather than playing on then…
