Home Match Day Thread 16/02/2021 Papa John's Trophy SF - OUFC v Tranmere

[Mellowyellow]

Battered on Pancake Day, by a tasty looking Tranmere side, who looked spicy upfront, goals hit with a sweet foot.
kr ends up with egg on his face, and seemed to flip when they scored. Clearly we have to play butter at Ipswich, but please don't sugar coat it, we were floured by a Second Division side who were beaten, by a margarine of error by Stevenage last week.

Saturday / Tuesday for the rest of the season with three points on the line each time, and nothing else. That’s what matters.

My kind of party.

12 yards. Against a goalkeeper. One against one. What’s ridiculous about that?

The header at the end and 1 on 1 taylor missed were probably easier than the pen.

If you're not a newspaper man you're wasted

A professional footballer shouldn’t miss a penalty. End of.

Yet they do, at every level up to World Cups . Silly statement

 

[Followtheox1]

Oh stop being a pedant. He’s played well in 3 games all season. That is just not good enough. You can climb up his ass all you like but if we want to go up, he cannot start in the form he is in! It’s that simple. He was awful tonight.

Yes fair enough. He has not been on it as much this season but he is going to be an important part of the squad for the rest of the season.

It's ridiculous because even world class players miss sometimes. Name me one regular penalty taker that has never missed.

Probably the most ridiculous comment ever seen on here...and that's saying something.

 

[Scotchegg]

And whilst everyone is perfectly entitled to their opinion, there are a few who need to put the plastic sheets on tonight with all the bed wetting!!!

Yes we were shite! Taylor will never have a worse game. Ruffels looked like he'd never played before rather than having 300 games under his belt. Henry could have been swapped with one of the playoff cardboard cut outs and been better. The rest weren't much better - in fact Eastwood was possibly our best player, or even Atkinson for a 10 second run!

But it's only one game in a nothing competition that we wouldn't be able to go to Wembley for anyway! Get that all out the system now, have a much needed day off and get our heads on for Ipswich.

Still plenty of football left this season and hopefully none of it will be on Sky!!

Because goalies never save penalties?

Asked the England national team until
The last World Cup they couldn’t take penalties

Typical reaction on this forum

Win and what a great squad we have, lose and a b c d e f are not good enough

1 game of football lost in a competition nobody cares about or wants and we see a major over reaction

I've always been torn between a journalist, and getting ripped as a body builder!

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

4+ points from the next two games and every single Oxford fan will completely and utterly forget about tonight

 

[lerekdilley]

Well yes, but seven changes and too many average performances didn't help tonight. Can't judge tonight against recent form.

The header at the end and 1 on 1 taylor missed were probably easier than the pen.

Hopefully Taylor will put it right in the next match. I’d bet more worried about him not getting the chances at all than missing narrowly. He’s still getting in the right areas.

 

[BigAlan]

I heard Matty Taylor was off out to a brothel later, best he gives them the money and goes home.

 

[cassox]

Sky are a curse and Eastwood is our Jonah......The biggest surprise of the night is that Sykes didnt get booked.....he mustve commited at least 8 fouls

 

[Leysboy]

I shouldn't bother, they didn't get the ransom to get the kidnapped bloke back. Oh and it's Emmerdale now, not Emmerdale Farm.

Well it has been a while, the last time I saw it Mr Wilkes and Amos had a pub called the Wolfpack.

Maybe the typical reaction is due to the typical performances from the same players?
