Away Match Day Thread 08/02/2022 L1: Accrington Stanley v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

Huge dent in the season this!

I can see us saying "that loss against Accrington Stanley and draw at home to Cheltenham cost us"....?

 

[Dilla]

The only good thing from tonight is other results aren't too bad for us!

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Time to angry fix the sink

In a completely unscientific way I've noticed that when Yellows Forum confidently predicts a win the team often comes unstuck.

I heard that Accrington were going to officially change their name to Accrington 'no mugs' Stanley.

Meh.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Awful awful performance. If we are honest, Accrington could have easily scored a couple more. We looked like a disorganised rabble for much of the game, and (I don't know if conditions were at least partly to blame) seem to have forgotten how to pass the ball. I think all those rather (over) optimistic posts about automatic promotion can just be put quietly to bed now.

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

KR's staggering arrogance (or stupidity) in relation to his (lack of) defence has cost us and will probably continue to - and too many of our star players just didn't fancy it tonight

 

[GreenMachine]

Beaten by a big ugly team as we saw with Wigan and Wycombe and Blackpool last season.. We need to wise up.

 

[Concretebob]

Felt like when we went to 3 strikers it would either be 2-1 win or a 2-0 loss. Fair play to those who went

 

[Eaststanding]

Poor. Very poor.
Onto Saturday.

 

[Peterdev]

Well done Accrington. Feel sorry for those that made the effort to get up there. Let’s hope Sam and Matt can provide the firepower in the next games

 

[Jolteon]

Had enough space for the shot not to be blocked.

Accrington have defended really well all game - how on earth anyone can blame Winnall more than Taylor is beyond me. Taylor missed a header from 2 yards out ffs Winnall did ok when he came on, drop the agenda.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Poor defensively and not the personnel to change it to any great degree. So many people were calling for decent defensive cover to brought in and a Defensive Midfielder. Such arrogance from kr, similar to the Mackie situation as an only striker in the past , could cost us more games like this. Too inconsistent, we should be beating teams like Accrington if we aspire to promotion. Poor, poor performance.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Classic Oxford "we'll win this easily"

Shrewsbury, MK Dons, Sunderland, Ipswich, Morecambe, Rotherham.

Accrington couldn’t beat any of those sides. But won quite easily against us.

Will never happen

yeah lets hide the fact that Taylor has put in another crap shift

 

[Leysboy]

Boooooo poor performance Oxford.

 

[Andy1505]

Can't blame Taylor for a bad game, we'd be nowhere without him this season. It's KR's fault for not having a balanced squad.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Disappointing. Three teams below us all have at least a game in hand. Playoffs at best as I think we knew.

 

[Sarge]

bollox .... bad day at the office .... poor performance bar first 15 mins or so , and then after Sykes n Baldock injected some pride n passion

fact is we cant win them all.... batter Bolton Saturday ( though I doubt it'll be 10k there now) and all will be good

You are right, Taylor wasn't very good - but then I am trying to think of anyone who actually was anything better than well below par.
