Away Match Day Thread 12/12/2020 L1 - Blackpool v OUFC

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

WE gave the leaders a good game last week and have lost one in six. I don’t think you pay attention

One win in last 7 league games against crisis club Wigan and we're in the relegation zone. I'm paying attention to the reality of the situation but I do admire your optimism.

Christ I remember Ruffels giving me a heart attack with that backpass in the last minute

Yes. God knows how they missed. Happy days

Perfect illustration of glass half empty / full!

feeling optimistic for todays visit to Blackpool.... reckon it'll be an illuminating 0-2 win, Tayls with a brace

 

[Scotchegg]

... and we can all stop bloody Grumbling

Where's the fun in that!!!

 

[Fourthstand]

If the football gods are with us today I’m hoping for a win - should have absolutely tonked them last season at their place. COYY

0-0 draw I think. We’ll keep it tight and prioritise getting a result over anything. I think players like McGuane and Taylor will benefit from a week off, too, so could maybe see us even sneaking a win late on.

I am confident we can get a result today. We will finally start to get the goals our players have deserved of late. 3-0 to OUFC . Yes a clean sheet. We will score early get a quick 2nd and play composed football for the rest of the game. Let's be optimistic!!

i like it. so optimistic you said it twice

Over excited thumb !

We should build on the confidence there clearly is in the squad, going by newspaper articles. It maybe 1 win in 7 in the league, inside the relegation zone, but then with growing belief in this squad, and the form of stevens, on reflection we can win this. COYY
BFC 0 OUFC 2

will be interesting to see how we play with only their fans in the ground.
definitely going to be home advantage until away fans can attend again

Except that it's tier 3 so no home fans either.

 

[Blox21]

We continue to improve and snatch a late 2-1 win !!

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

A coupon busting 1-3 away win...Taylor 2 and Kelly .

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Wish I had everybody's optimism! They've won their last 4 at home, a draw would feel like a win but can't see it.

 

[behindthegoal]

I hope they remember they aren't playing in the orange away kit this time

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Struggling to see a win really, but went for a draw. A recent couple of half decent draws don't scream 'revival' to me, but I hope they are maybe the first signs of one.

 

[Mad Dog]

Stevens
Long Moore Atkinson Ruffels
Gorrin
Kelly Mcguane
Sykes
Henry Taylor​

That’ll never be the lineup or formation Robbo chooses, but we’re struggling for goals, and I’d love to see that lineup in a diamond formation, with two up top, with Henry playing the Sheringham/cantona role, and Sykes playing more centrally, linking midfield and attack.

Won’t happen though, it’ll be the usual 433

Either way, just get the three points!

COYY
