Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G'won Sparky Lad.

 

[Yello]

Absolutely fantastic performance to a man.
If only we had actually had a go at some of the teams and showed some attacking intent at away games earlier on the season . So many times instead of sitting back and letting them grow into the games. Whatever happens here on in , 100% the correct decision to change Rowett.

 

[Cartman]

People still talking trash about Harris and BDK is bizarre and immature tbh. Know they have not been great by any means this season, but both were fantastic today. Hopefully Bloomfield and themselves continue to make that happen.

 

[Nadi-]

If Greg Leigh’s off, can’t believe Leicester are playing Ben Nelson on the left.
When they have Luke Thomas.

Kept Stan quiet 2nd half, one we should have been looking at years ago. Hopefully available

Doooo dooo dooooo football in a library

We wanted it more. Leicester with some of the worst home support I’ve ever seen.

Thank you yellows - another beer for me

 

[Matty Greens Left Boot]

That has really closed the gap shame most of the teams directly above us picked up a point too. Was worried we were becoming detached there. COYY

 

[Swaby39]

BDK was excellent when he came on when it would be so easy to be a diva about being dropped. Can’t understand anybody critical of him because without him I think we’d be down already. He carried us in a number of games and can well-afford a dip in form for the shift he’s put in. He was absolutely brilliant today and the assist is not as easy as it looks.

 

[holdsteady]

Luckily we have the spirit of Alex Dyer 93 to get us a win today so the team we put out doesn’t matter.

Alex Dyer was looking down on us to help us over the line out there.

He’s not dead but maybe he was on a plane or something.

Yeah but two points gained on Blacburn and hopefully Portsmouth lose tomorrow. Any gain is better than nothing.

He loves us

 

[Chris on a Bike]

Harris. I still think your sh*t.

You just can't help yourself can you?

 

[tonto]

Wow awesome result!! Just been watching lewes against St Albans to think we played them both in the dark days… COYY

 

[Joey]

Yeah but two points gained on Blacburn and hopefully Portsmouth lose tomorrow. Any gain is better than nothing.

Three gained on Charlton too. They've got nine points from their last 14 games with the only wins against us in Rowett's swansong and at home to a team with nine men. Scored 11 and conceded 27 in that time too.

They might be five points clear right now but they're absolutely bang in trouble too. Shame we didn't make a move before we did as we could have had a draw at minimum there but that's not an insurmountable gap by any stretch.

 

[OxfordBoy]

I’ll wait to see the formation and the performance before commenting but definitely some surprises in there

My comments:

Really bloody good that, why we stopped aggressively pressing under Des and never really started again under Rowett ill never know

Hopefully it’s here to stay, top performance and thought the fans were really good

Leicester City 1-2 Oxford United: Mark Harris earns rare win for U's

Ailing Oxford boost their survival hopes with a clinical and fully deserved away win over toothless Leicester.

Thank you Matt for giving us the best away day in the championship for over 25 years !

Time for more lager, enjoy your night fellow yellows.

 

[Oufccraig45]

Oops

That cannot be the same mark harris or was he on drugs looking at the line up it did not look very good but happy to be proved wrong .Did not see that coming at all now be interesting how many points licester get deducted now .

 

[Stanford yellow]

Superb result,few other positives

One free week til Birmingham
One less week til prelec and donley return
Shemmy back on the grass end of last week

Oh and the scum lost

 

[JoeUFC]

I'm all in for Bloomfield. That was a proper performance.

Delighted for Harris.

Hope Spencer, Currie, MPH, McDonnell and Mills can keep that pace up, they were immense.

Brodie Spencer, if coached well, will be a huge investment for us. So much promise.

 

[Reedie8610]

Pleased for harris, he worked so hard

 

[Osleroad]

The set up was spot on/taking players off on yellows tick and having at least a few more quality players on the pitch in McDonnell and Peart-Harris really helps a lot. If MB and team can analyse the players strengths and oppo weaknesses like this things will start looking up.

 

[OX14]

Superb result,few other positives

One free week til Birmingham
One less week til prelec tired donley return
Shemmy back on the grass end of last week

Oh and the scum lost

Love it

Scum losing is icing on the cake. They were 1-0 up at HT and going top only for that tinpot Bromley to turn them over second half and sending the scum down to 6th at end of play.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Shorty right in the middle of it with some top tier finger jabbing!

 

[Concretebob]

That was a stonking away day. Plenty of beers, a great performance and three vital points.

@Essexyellows best beer was a pint of Braybrooke Helles in the Two Tailed Lion

On the train home absolutely spent. Love this club

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Poor old Cam!

 

[isibuko]

I could watch BDK’s assist for Sparky all day long.

 

[Johnf]

Well done lads great win today, so pleased for sparky. Gets a lot of stick but he works his socks off when he plays for our football club. Love him to go on a run now.
COYY

 

[bazzer9461]

I could watch BDK’s assist for Sparky all day long.

That’s the 2nd top class assist from him there was his assist for Shemmys goal against Ipswich
