[Yellows1]

I thought I better start this as the only other win we had this season was against Burton which I started, we bloody need a win and I reckon we’ll do it, 1-0 to us, James Henry, god I hope I’m right - Sorry it’s a tadge early Mal but desperate times and all of that........

 

[yellowbow]

Anything to help get us the much needed three points! I’m also jumping on the positive bus and think we’ll win 2-0. What people have to realise, amongst all the doom and gloom, is Plymouth must be as dogshite as us. Goals from Brannagan and Carruthers

 

[holdsteady]

Please not another 2-1 loss, I think we will draw 1-1 which for me would be enough to get rid of Robinson but I don’t think it will be for tiger xx

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Go on let's av them 4-0

 

[gingerox]

Eastwood
Norman Dickie Nelson Ruffels
Brannagan Mous Baptiste
Henry Mackie Holmes

1-0, O.G.

That team doesn’t look at all shabby on paper..

That team doesn’t look at all shabby on paper..

Isn't that exactly the problem, and why people are so frustrated? Even with the rather chaotic recruitment and the lack of options in some positions, we have actually got some decent players. Certainly better than we have seen so far. So if the club has a half way acceptable squad, why can they not be organised into a team? And if the management aren't capable of doing so, surely professional pride would make them do it themselves!

1-0 and Eastwood to save a penalty.

If we can’t beat Plymouth we’re down , this is a must win game, a six pointer, the team looks good on paper but doesn’t play like a team on the pitch , hopefully it all changes Saturday, 1-0 win.

I don’t even think the team looks good on paper. Maybe 2 or 3 years ago, but not now.

 

[TailsWeWin]

Points-wise it’s not a mus-win, of course. But the effect of a home defeat on the morale of the team would be devastating.

 

[Foley]

Will Carruthers start?
Is Norman fit or will McMahon start (decent defensive performance last week)
If Carruthers is in the mix then from a midfield and 2 upfront perspective there are a few choices (assuming Mackie will start)
And Browne on the bench as well.
If Mousinho starts in midfield we look reasonably solid. No stupid mistakes and we need to knock a couple of goals.

Robinson will go with his favourites e.g. Holmes, Carruthers, Mackie, McMahon.

Part of me wants us to win...….I am shamed to admit part of me wants a humiliating defeat that will finally lead to Robinson getting the sack. Anyone else feel like this?

 

[PottersRightBoot]

Lose 2-1 after going in front.

2 OGS.

I’ve given up on Robbos interviews. He’s the empty vessel that makes the most noise.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Sorry to say I can't see anything but a shambles. My only hope is Robinson gets sacked afterwards.

Certainly not.

 

[holdsteady]

The trouble with throwing away 3 points in the hope of a new manager is that this is one of our most winnable games in a season where we are going to need every point have a chance to stay up.

The problem with having an absent chairman is one win could paper some huge cracks and he is less likely to notice. A win is probably only delaying the inevitable as I can’t see us following it up with much, so he will go soon after.

Robinson is pretty much gone as our manager it’s just a matter of when now.

 

[unification]

0-0.

We learn nothing, Plymouth learn nothing. We both stand staring at each other after 90 minutes, saying ‘well, Salford City will be a new team to visit next year’.

Post-match headline in the Oxford Fail - "Robinson blames wind.".

 

[Victor1986]

Agree holdsteady - in fact our absentee Chairman worries me (& a lot of others) more than KR who, as you say, is pretty much gone. If Tiger is not there on Saturday I hope he is lining up a replacement!

 

[mac]

Plymouth will do what they always do - keep 11 men behind the ball and defend and draw us onto them then they'll attack on the break when they get a chance (probably only one in the match) and score, then they'll sit 11 behind the ball again. They are bound to score because we can't keep a clean sheet - only question is can we score our usual 1 and scrape a 1-1 draw because I think that's the best we can hope for.

Exactly my feelings.

 

[Oxymoron]

What a depressing read

I'll go 4-0, just to lighten the mood..........

 

[Phantompieman]

I hope the refs good, I can see a type of Cup Final with some tasty challenges going in

You could smell it all the way to the North stand.

Oxford United v Plymouth Argyle (15:00 )
ANDY WOOLMER
Andrew Fox and Adrian Waters
Fourth Official : Tim Robinson

He's the ref who sent Ricardinho off in the New Year game vs. MK Dons.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

And rightfully so, it was a horror challenge. My leg nearly snapped in half just watching it.

 

[Ox4Eva]

0.0 which I no good to either team!

 

[Yellow Hoods]

"Robinson blames defeat on Whyte for lamely going on international duty rather than wrecking his career by insisting on playing in a 'who will finish bottom' duel with Argyle."
