Home Match Build Up 22/10/22 L1: OUFC v Peterborough United

[Berliner]

For me, the result has to go one way or the other. Either a completely dominant performance or losing 5-0. In either of these situations we know where we stand. A 0-0 draw, narrow loss or even an unconvincing win (as they all have been apart from Burton) will do nothing for us in the long term.

I'd never actively want OUFC to lose any game, but if it's going to get this Walter Mitty character on our bench the heave ho, then a quick rip off of the sticking plaster please.

Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win a war, I think that applies in this case.

Stats for the teams make 0-0 unlikely - we concede around one a game at home, Posh two a game away. They do have a penchant for scoring first and throwing it away, keeping the crowd onside could be huge in deciding the final score. Play positively and we should have enough to win by the odd goal.

Anyone else see anything wrong with the thread title?

somehow I managed to mess up the date

....and cant fix it

Sarge messed it up and I was in Brussels for 2 days (had to present my case for PM). Hopefully okay now.

5-0 loss with KR claiming we had the better chances and were unlucky to go into halftime 3 down.

 

[JOHN BOY]

I will be there cheering on my team oufc I have never booed my team and will not start doing so tomorrow.That doesn't mean I don't want Karl out.

Maybe this will be Karl's 'Wigan'...

And their keeper was man of the match

And their keeper was man of the match

Obviously

 

[Foley]

Maybe this will be Karl's 'Wigan'...

Or maybe we will win?
Here's hoping

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

If we win then that’s two league wins in a row against not terrible sides… meaning a win on Tuesday night and we’d be on a roll…

Inasmuch as I go to just about every game expecting us to win (not much point going otherwise), even I think that looks unlikely.

But stranger things and all that.....

Peterborough are shocking away from home. A real chance for 3 points before Pompey & Bolton away.

[Essexyellows]

They will be bigger, stronger, better organised and will win by an odd goal.

 

[Daviddidcotexile]

KARL Robinson has warned Peterborough United have the potential to ‘put a number past anybody’

Sounds like the excuses have started already

Joseph over Taylor in the best team?
What does he bring?

Sure, he runs a lot, presses, tackles, is a nuisance, forces opposition into mistakes, some of our best play comes with him involved and he's our second top scorer, but other than that, what does he actually do?*


*This is not how i actually feel.

We’ll come from 2-0 down to draw. We’ll have one point but Robinson will claim a moral victory. He survives another week.
