They're taking it well!

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

The Bristol City away assist was a doozy too. Big fan of BDK but the pass itself is expect most midfielders at this level to make, the bit he won't get as much credit for was the pace and aggression he showed to get to the loose ball ahead of the Leicester before cushioning a header back to MPH. Fantastic player who's struggled for form recently but a real asset who also gets about the pitch more than he's given credit for.

Oh Matt

Oh Matt what?

Humble pie eaten, and I don’t think I’m the only one..

Sorry just there!

Above you eating humble pie which i didnt think KFC served

 

[EastStandKieran]

You just can't help yourself can you?

Maybe Harris thinks @Leysboy a t**t like most of us do

 

[Paul Cannell]

Magnificent result, absolutely brilliant, some effort from the players.

Good to see you not over-praising there, boy

Delighted for MB and everyone on the coaching side too, gives the fans and everyone at the club a huge lift just when we needed it. A really big confidence boost all round. Superb, COYY.

 

[AssHead]

No need for the comment about Harris mate. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s scored the winning goal. You’ve let yourself down there.

He scored the winning goal in a great result but I’m with @Leysboy on this one. Maris is still sh*t. Maybe the goal might get us a few more thousands on his transfer fee this window.

 

[AssHead]

Great result.
Taking 4 points from LCFC this season is a massive achievement; hopefully we can smash Birmingham as well now.

MPH has been an absolute gem of a transfer.

He is going nowhere this window unless we sign a player like Hardie.

Generally, after winning a monumental game like today, first thoughts shouldn't be about which players are s**t (especially when said player had a great game and scored).

It's just a bizarre comment to make in an ecstatic room.

 

[Mojofilter]

Davies so good today. Made a massive difference.

How good his signing was has been underrated, I think.

 

[Londox]

Great result.

MPH has been an absolute gem of a transfer.

If we stay up getting MPH on a contract is a top priority. Really like the look of him.

Talking out of your head?

Wrong body part

Thrilles for the travelling fans who really deserved a great away day.

Well that was fun. What a great away end to be a part of.

Everything was absolutely spot on today. The players were absolutely magnificent and Bloomfield really had his game plan nailed down. The press was magnificent, and it was really smart against a team with two cloggers at the back and without much guile in midfield.

The new signings have already raised our level. Peart-Harris oozes class whilst also being really tactically reliable and an absolute aerial force, whilst McDonnell was absolutely everywhere disrupting things with his energy.

If you didn't believe we could save ourselves before today, I hope you do now.

 

[Toucan]

Where is Kip btw

He, by his own admission, is eating humble pie.

The fact that he was very quick to dismiss M.Bloomfield's team choice, before any ball was kicked, shows total lack of support and confirms his unnecessary pessimistic approach.

 

[Scotchegg]

People still talking trash about Harris and BDK is bizarre and immature tbh.

We take the p**s about other clubs doing the #TeamsLikeOxford crap. Yet we've got plenty of our own "fans" who constantly talk our club and our players down. The same ones who had already given up on this season and are quick to coat new players off before they've even seen them play.

Absolute embarrassment.

 

[PottersRightBoot]

The new lads - and I include Spencer - have added a lot of strength , running power, and pace into the team. We looked a different side today and really deserved that result. Sam Long brilliant - again.

Energy, verve, and a lot of dog.

Harris was running around like a clockwork toy for most of the game. He was barely in possession of the ball at all. But he did his job, it was rather like Bolton at Wembley again. Their rather lackdadaisal Okoli got the ball all the time and did nada with it.

And then that goal. What a finish. He looked like he was going to score from the moment he was put in. Well done Sparky.

Support was really something today.

Leicester - a team on the skids. I spoke to a few Reynards after and they are shitting bricks re a points deduction. They must be candidates for the drop.

Great day for us. There is hope.

 

[Londox]

There's a 299-page "Cifuentes out" thread on their forum!
That is massive to be fair.

Mr Kip is always happy to admit he was wrong in retrospect. However he's never happy to admit that he was wrong to be so negative in the first place.

 

[forevayella]

Like I’ve said I’m not his biggest fan but why make such a negative comment after a really positive result and performance?

No need and I think the majority on here would agree with me for calling it out.

 

[Kiewhite]

What a stunning, professional job we've done there. Not seen anything like it since the Des days. Truly incredible.

Whether or not it actually means anything will depend on if we can replicate it over the next 2/3 games. I still think we're too late, but that was absolutely fantastic to watch.

Not at all Blackburn are in free fall Charlton will drop and Portsmouth ain’t investing all to play for imo

 

[EastSussexOx]

Beaten all the teams relegated from the prem last season now. Love that going into every game thinking we have a chance of getting a result. Team were like warriors today, best away performance since we got back in the championship

 

[OX14]

Forget Pompey for a minute. West brom , Charlton and Blackburn we still have to play at home.

Was I the only person negative about that lineup? 90 percent of here and twitter didn’t seem over enthused by it..
