Away Match Day Thread 17-10-2020 L1 Peterborough United v OUFC

[Oxford84]

A few points

- defensively we are so, so, so bad.
- we pass nicely but dont do a huge amount with it
- we are absolutely streets away from the top teams in this league, our competition this season is Rochdale, Crewe etc rather than Lincoln, Sunderland etc.
- we are not going to give anyone a good thrashing anytime soon. Absolutely ludicrous . And the only person who should get said thrashing is whomever said we didnt need a new defender.
We are boring and predictable in our play.

Very sobering, as mentioned, id take 16th now.

and thats all bullshit

Sorry if it’s already been said.

I would like to see us try a back 3/5. Clare would be more effective as a wing back and we could get Winnall and Taylor playing together.

I think playing with 3 CB's might be an issue when we can barely find 2 for the current formation.

Are we looking too much like a clotet team?
One dimensional tactics
Pass out from the back
Tippy tappy sideways crab football
Ball near the opposition's box, we are like rabbits in headlights.

I would argue not being able to score with plenty of chances is a bigger hindrance at the moment.

I would argue if you dont concede you dont lose any game no matter how bad your goal conversion is.

Yes all that makes perfect sense as we have only created 45 chances in two matches..but you are completely right we are one dimensional, side ways crab football.

We are poor defensively not going forward.

So why are your posts so ridiculous on here?

Sam Long played well at cb today, as did Clare at rb. Gorrin has a job to do in the middle, and we've got a thousand options for the front 3. But let's move them all around because you can't handle a disappointing result?!

Apart from their first goal which was a joke

Yes and if we’d scored 3 goals every game we’d be right at the top of the table.

Peterborough showed us what to do today direct

Hi Stevie. Which bit is bovine excreta in my post please?

The part where you say we don't do anything with our possession despite creating 40+ chances in two games? Not sure what you are expecting? We can't finish any of them granted but you can't say we are not doing anything with our possession thats just an outright lie.

No one scores 3 every game

We were a lot more direct today

 

[bazzer9461]

Well we did 5 games in a row last season

Have to disagree to much build up from the back

? fair enough you got me

If we are creating 40 plus chances over two games, losing both and being rock bottom of the league then the situation is more worrying than i imagined.

The 2nd was hardly goal of the season material for that matter.

 

[Scotchegg]

Apart from their first goal which was a joke

He slipped and couldn't get in position, it was the same with Ruffels leaving Eastwood in no man's land.

Feel free to mention any other mistake from Long?

Posts plural....cheeky.

So mr everythings perfect..lets all be happy that were rock bottom of the league and have won one in 10 matches or whatever the stats are.

Isnt it natural to try and find a solution?

Why are we playing a right back at centre back,? Who coincidently made a big mistake and may have cost us the game.

Why are we playing a player who is obviously not a RB at RB? Clare has shown he has pace and skill. Correct me if i am wrong but he has played RM most of his career?

Gorrin has all the attributes to be a decent CB. Strong, awareness and can defend. i would rather him play DM but he is potentially a solution to get other players playing in their natural position.

Why are you pretending everythings perfect and sniping at posters who arent happy. Does that help you get on your high horse?

All of it apart from the first line and even that one is exaggerating.
