Home Match Day Thread 10/02/2026 - MDT: Oxford United v Norwich City

[Carpy]

 

[Nadi-]

Tactically inept and a team totally lost and thrown under the bus.

 

[Mateo Corbo's Tackle]

I’ve banged on about our players being good enough for the Championship, in the main.

I take it back.

They’re really not.

 

[Chippy]

Have we got a striker?

11 of them look like they’re on strike tonight so far!!

 

[Londox]

Why are we playing a right back at left centre back and a centre back at right back?

Long caught out for pace with their first and Massoko positionally for their second.

Don't forget we are also playing a centre back at left back

 

[Pgyellow]

Ridiculous

 

[tomoufc]

Why are we playing a right back at left centre back and a centre back at right back?

Yes we are. And your point is?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

We are all going to have to eventually accept that we don't have the quality (on the pitch or in the dugout - still) to stay up this season. A few one points in away games where we don't even have to pretend to make the running isn't going to be anywhere near enough. And no amount of 'believing' or similar is going to change that. It is not 'disloyal' to be realistic.

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

Just as well we sacked boring old Rowett, huh?

As been said earlier if he does go to Rovers and comes back to haunt us it will show up the hierasrchy at the club even more

 

[Malc]

Come on lads , get one back before halftime.

 

[southcoastyellow]

In the summer can we get rid of Ed Waldron and a lot of the rubbish he’s brought in….

 

[jaybeachjump]

Not to mention a centre back at LB. It's arguably a back four of CBs. And they're passing like it.

This is on Bloomfield.
Complete madness.

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

No where near good enough. Anyone who thinks that this team will stay up are living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

[Yellow2K22]

Perhaps we can achieve an even worse performance than the Wigan 0-7?

 

[NorthernExile]

Not good enough. No complaints. We get what we settle for, and we've settled for mediocrity.

We're a poorly run football club, not a Championship organisation.

 

[tomoufc]

Maybe we should sign some sodding defenders then. Or at least play them where they're comfortable. Makosso can't play at right back in a four. Why doesn't Bloomfield know that?

The mad thing is we actually have fit full backs available on both sides.

 

[m]

I mean Rowett had his critics, and rightly so, but does someone want to explain the thinking behind hiring a version of him without a gameplan?

 

[Vancouver Yellow]

Why is our passing consistently AWFUL

 

[bazzer9461]

They’re in our f*****g faces get into there f*****g faces

 

[Basham Wonderland]

No outlet for Makosso!! Who's supposed to be making a run up front for him!?

 

[Londox]

All those signings in January and we are still starting mark Harris up front.

The club has a heart but no brain.

 

[90syeIlow]

Not heard that in ages!

The variety has been fun to be fair.

 

[Concretebob]

I have work at 05:30 AM tomorrow and I'm seriously considering packing this in already.

 

[Northstand Grandad]

Couldn't make it tonight, watching on tv.....now switched off

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

Just as well we sacked boring old Rowett, huh?

As been said earlier if he does go to Rovers and comes back to haunt us it will show up the hierasrchy at the club even more

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

2 of their players onto our wingers straight away to close down that attack.

 

[Sarge]

Oh come on ref

 

[Daviddidcotexile]

We are certainly struggling today. What a shock to give away a goal so quickly. Need to calm down

 

[Up The Manor]

Ive seen more fight & desire at the local over 60s bowling club on a Thursday evening .

 

[Carlislehotdog]

You can criticise the recruitment but I think tonight so far its all down to the team selection, and the defence particularly.

 

[Northstand Grandad]

Is MB the man???....doesn't look like it...FED ON BULLSHIT WE ARE
