Ref Watch

COYY

Let’s do this!

 

[Pgyellow]

Have they been done by expectation

 

[bashamwonderland]

A lack of attacking edge.

 

[ttg17]

Still in our hands.

 

[Concretebob]

Frustrating

 

[VancouverYellow]

Should've been an extra three minutes on top of that for all the tomfoolery from Lincoln. Extremely frustrating second half that. We move onto Stevenage. COYY.

 

[Pgyellow]

So you can kick your way to a win when you have a weak referee. I don't believe that was a penalty at all.

 

[m]

Ha! Absolute turd of a performance that. Not much point pretending otherwise.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Still in our hands but it wouldn’t be OUFC if we made it easy for ourselves.

What I will say is that the ref was f*****g shocking!! How do you add on just 60 seconds when the ball is only in play for at best, 3 minutes of the 6 minutes injury time!!

 

[battman]

Annoyed with that. We've looked great in the past few games, but we didn't take the few chances we created and were sloppy to give away a penalty. We're still in the driving seat, and I think any of the three teams below us would rather be in our position, but I do worry about our lack of depth especially in the forward areas if the front three doesn't quite fire like tonight.

 

[chuckbert]

The mistake we made was having too much possession. Needed 30% again instead of 60.

 

[Berliner]

Sorry to say it but we had our pockets picked by a canny side who had done their homework. Don't give us space to breathe, neutralise Murphy, make the back line turn and be aware that we have little adaptability or Plan B.

Extremely disappointing performance, a big response needed on Friday.

Night all.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Lincoln the dirtiest C***s I've ever seen, ref lost the plot, there must have only been 30 seconds of the 6 added minutes in play and he just lapped it up.

That said we STILL can't play against high pressing dirty teams

 

[Symp59]

Massive, Massive, pressure on us and I don't think we have the players to handle it .Mr Evans will love Friday and I think he will have the nouce to do our Des sadly. Lincoln have done a job on us and we've been sucked in .Fingers crossed we can win on Friday.

 

[BrockBuster]

Murphy tried to do too much and they doubled up on him. Lacking in ideas on the rest of the pitch. Lincoln were poor but we didn't do enough to get back in it.

Against cloggers like that we really miss Moore, especially attacking set pieces. Few off the pace today, wide players especially so. Harris barely had a kick second half.

We go again on Friday.

 

[Jster]

Yeah, Lincoln did a job on us. A canny performance by a defensively sound side.

 

[Jolteon]

Always really tough to take a loss against a team of thugs, especially when the ref lets them be thugs.

It's still in our hands, win the next two and there ain't s**t these cheats can do to stop us getting the playoffs.

 

[tonyw]

Have they been done by expectation

Wouldn't say that, necessarily.

First half was alright. They came out half asleep for the start of the second half. And once Lincoln got ahead, it was 45 minutes of straight-up s***housery from them. On the basis of that, they're a thoroughly nasty bunch. But you can see why they've conceded so few goals this year.

Still, we're still in the driver's seat. Two more wins and we're in. We're just likely not going to be able to relax before the season's end.

And if you want a positive from tonight.....the two hundred or so scouts watching Josh Murphy likely won't have gone home with glowing write-ups. Better chance of us keeping him now!

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Barnsley have lost which is minor consolation

 

[Sarge]

BOLLOX

 

[Leysboy]

I can’t believe we’ve just lost to the Gimps.

Outthought today, and had little to offer going forward. That was a complete contrast to Saturday. Shame, but not good enough!
