Home Match Day Thread 18/4/2023 L1: OUFC v Portsmouth

[Cotswolds Cowboy]

Other results have gone our way
A point is not a disaster

 

[Wandering Yellow]

is 16 games without a win an OUFC record?

 

[Paul Cannell]

Better performance again. Hope we can kick on from that.

 

[tonto]

Well played still in our hands unlucky again got to say there were some massive performances in their. Feel much happier about LM now COYY

 

[OUFCwaffle]

All our rivals lose so we can at least take that positive. A point better off in the race than we were on Saturday. It's going down to the wire...

 

[Blox21]

This is going to last game of the season

 

[Twiggy85]

Thought tonight was a ‘must win’ but with other results helping us a point is ok. Letting Taylor go has got to be the worse decision in a very long time.

 

[brassmonkey]

Tyler was mom. Top player. Amazing how we can't finish relatively easy chances game after game after game. Browne, bodin and of course o'donker.

I'll never forgive Robinson or the board for that.

We live to fight another day. It's going to the wire.

No Karl still being here after the first 10 games of the season was one of the worst in Oxfords History.

 

[zstep123]

literally every other result went our way. 1 likely loss in the last 4 and 3 legit win opportunities for us. Its in our own hands

 

[Swaby39]

It is a point gained given some good luck elsewhere but also an opportunity missed to create daylight. That Pompey side was dreadful and played it like a dead rubber. The ref was kind to us at times. A big chance for the win goes begging but we’re a point closer to whatever total it is we’re going to need. Have to take positives otherwise sanity is at risk.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Well that gives me hope that we might just do it! Much much improved from previous games.
Cambridge have got Plymouth away on Saturday then the following Saturday play Accrington!
If we forget Barnsley then next Tuesday really is the must win game as we could be 4/3 points clear of the bottom 4 going into the FGR game.

 

[tonto]

Bodin had three golden opportunities to win that . On chances we battered them surely its going to click isnt it??

 

[06russ]

Felt this was a must win but other results went our way at least. If we can still be above the dreaded line after the Barnsley game we can then hopefully pick up enough points with the 3 remaining ‘favourable’ fixtures.

 

[Dubai Yellow]

Should have won that. But ultimately a point gained on our rivals today.

Scrap for a point Saturday and then beat Cheltenham please.

Thought GOD had a very good game but should have come off 5-10 minutes earlier. Guy was cooked. Not taking him off almost disastrous, allowed them a lot of momentum as we couldn't get out. Thought he and TG did very well though, made the team look a lot more dynamic, our best 90-minute performance for a while.

The errant finishing and conceding from less-than-obvious chances has been the story of our season, going right back in October. Crazy that we haven't scored more than one tonight. Still, it's looking a hell of a lot better than it did at the Abbey a couple of months ago, or against the Gas a week later.

Four games left. Playing the teams currently in 17th, 23rd and 24th, two of them at home. Oakwell on the weekend almost certainly a loss but, after that, you couldn't ask for a much kinder run-in. f**k me this is going to be tense.

 

[OxfordNondie]

Let's be honest fought and played well.
Missed some great chances which would have made a comfortable win
Live to fight another day / week

 

[tonto]

Play like that against barnsley and weve got a chance

 

[Jolteon]

That was a very good performance only let down by the fact we don't have a natural goalscorer in the squad because we sent the only one off to Port Vale on the whim of a damaged ego.

Play like that the rest of the season we will absolutely stay in the League 1.
