Home Match Day Thread 25/04/2023: L1 - OUFC v Cheltenham Town

[bert]

Ciaron Brown has been in good positions, had loads of possession but his passes.have been very poor so far.

 

[pidge]

Joseph putting in a Hyltonesque performance hasn’t stopped running. Just missing a goal.

 

[06russ]

We had no idea what to do when Tyler put the ball in the back of the net so we plumped for subbing him off

 

[Oxfordpete]

Bodin and Marcus have done nothing
They might be playing well in training but not doing it the game/s
Perhaps who doesn’t impress in training might do it in the game

 

[Yellow There!]

As Jerome says, just what the doctor ordered. For a loanee I've never seen anyone run like Joseph.

Would love to see his pass completion percentage if you removed sideways passes to centre-halves. Reckon it'd be painfully low.

I thought that half was dragging to 0-0. Tyler went down in the build up to his goal but got up, drove forward and got the goal. The young man should be an inspiration to others.

Love the standing ovation Goodrhum got, as he made is way round the pitch after being subbed!!

This is the problem with the way that we're playing, and the way Cheltenham have set up to counter it - they are closing down quickly on everyone apart from our full backs, who they are basically giving space and allowing to come forward to their hearts' content.....because they know that Brown and Long are both really CBs and therefore unlikely to cause a whole lot of damage.

Buuuuuut, because Tyler has managed to shin/knee/thigh that one Long cross into the corner, we now don't have to change anything. Now our continually defensive formation is just fine as long as we stay solid and don't do anything stupid.

But it's going to be a looooooong second half.

 

[OUFC91]

Not a bad half! Thought we started moving the ball quite sharply and certainly look more up for it that Cheltenham.

If we can hold on to this then the league table is looking so much better going into the last couple of games.

For me this game highlights how important it is next year we get two proper full backs in that are more comfortable in possession.

COYY

Honestly, I'm not sure that he didn't block off his man intentionally to get Long the space in behind! He certainly didn't do much to get out of the way.

The savvy and then the skill.

Now the rest of his teammates have to hold this.

 

[Malc]

Good first half, but I'd like to see a second goal. Mainly because I haven't done YYYEEESSS YYYEEESSS for years

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Long has worked hard, Findlay has cleared everything but dodgy on the ball as per, McGuane has showed for the ball constantly, Joseph has run his socks off. Bodin has been a bit disappointing and we hardly have anyone in the box when we break forward but hey, we’re 1-0 up.

Don’t mess it up from here. Just don’t.

 

[Sarge]

COME ON YOU U'S!

I'll have to rewatch that. I was falling asleep im honest!! A goal is a goal though. Fingers crossed for one or two more for us.
