I think our squad could do without this game, that being said it would still be nice to progress now we're out of the FA Cup

Wow what a depressing place YF has become. I don’t think I can ever remember so much bickering amongst people that all claim to support the same team..

I'd be more worried if everyone on here was happy with the way things are at present.

I've been watching since 1966 - long before this site was going. When was your first match?

Well if you were born before someone you must be right.

What a load of rubbish. Give your head a wobble. You're clearly not watching the game!

What on earth has happened to Thorniley… the guy looks a shell of his former self

Not really, plenty of people just had enough of the moaning, sniping sarcasm that some relish in posting. With nothing positive to say.

Last man, deliberate foul - should've been off - but I don't think that'd helped us

 

[tonyw]

GOD has been pretty lively tonight.

Hopefully some conference sides might have scouts in the audience, because a stint at that level is what he really needs right now.....

 

[NorthWestOx]

Close!

I think our passing is OK, a bit slow on the break, no killer blow,

Sounds like Ben Purkiss had himself a few half time Shandys.

 

[OX14]

McEachran the best player.

All he does it get the ball and pass backwards or slow the game down.

Passing and possession ok but I have no confidence that we'll get a shot in every time we get the ball

 

[Eaststanding]

Good save Eastwood.

we look like we’re happy to see out a 2-0 here, be knocked out and move on. Can’t say I disagree but there’s been some horrific individual moments in the game from common offenders. Hope there’s some good transfer PR to look forward to in the next few days to wash this off.

Ben Purkiss?

Horrific?
Some silly stuff, horrific?...no

We have very little in the way of creating clear cut chances. Quite a few of our league goals recently have been excellent shots from outside the box (we have had a couple of decent efforts tonight that didn't go inside the posts). But you can't rely on that to consistently win you games. They should be the icing on the cake - with goals from crosses and passes to players being in the box being the um... cake. We are so slow that when we actually do manage to get the ball inside the opposition penalty area, it's like a Japanese tube train in there - no space, no room to shoot or even to turn to shoot (not that you'd do that on a Japanese tube train, but you know what I mean).

All this passing around the back 3-4 times gives the opposition plenty of time to get into position. So predictable.
