FUCKINHELL that was seriously hard work

Yes it was and that was down to our own making

 

[TobyDavis34]

We’ve got 6 in 9 points but honestly, we’ve been s**t the last two games.

We had a lot of very good chances today. We could and should have scored 4 or 5.

Instead, we clung on. 3 very valuable points, but a LOT to do before next weekend. Milwall and Stoke are 3rd and 5th right now. We need to be better if we are going to compete with them.

Cumming is class and his distribution today was good. He kept us ahead today. We are lucky to have him.

Fingers crossed for Spencer and CamBran.

Great win. Very tricky game, given the news from yesterday. Mark Harris showing yet again that he's not a Championship level player.

Both him and Shemmy; any other side in this division buries at least one of those chances

 

[Chippy]

That was easy, what were u all worried about, never in doubt!!

 

[londonyellow]

A wins a win.

Important 3 points. But I weirdly feel less positive about our season now. Lankshear aside we have no real finishers at the club. Nobody stepped up to take control in the second half – we were running around like headless chickens and were very lucky that their finishing wasn't much better than ours. Let's hope Brannagan and Spencer aren't too bad

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Wow. The strangest game I think I've ever watched. We won but it feels like a loss? So shambolic in that second half. But we take the points and move on.

 

[chuckbert]

we look at what we could do better

I think that is summed up by the word “football”.

 

[90syeIlow]

Something has to be done that was appalling in the 2nd half things have to be done and owners stump up some cash for 3/4 players we need them badly

FFS. We recruited new players in the summer and we are still having these God awful halves of football.

Can you accept it's also down to the coaching and management?

 

[RBNO]

Great win. Very tricky game, given the news from yesterday. Mark Harris showing yet again that he's not a Championship level player.

 

[Beech Road Bokelberg]

Same amount of away wins as last season and we are still in October.

We are going up!!!!

Regards,

Stuart Massey & Mike Ford

roll on january

 

[EastStandKieran]

We done enough to get the result , another win on the road ther performance second half was not good enough but we won

6 points out of 9 isn't to be sniffed at

 

[Twiggy85]

I just don’t understand why any team who play Wednesday don’t just assign a player to man mark Bannan, he is the one quality player

 

[GreenMachine]

Shocking really a win that feels like a loss. Without brannagan, bannan literally had the freedom of Sheffield. BDK is good but not got the influence on the team that brannagan has I hope it's not too bad. Players were out on their feet against a team that is by far the worst in the league it shows where we will be this season.. Another fight. Was abit of a strange game this but you see how the crowd can influence a team to push on.. we were second best so often that second half and too many tired players. Limped over the line.. but 3 points is 3 points overall It was a shambles really

 

[stu_tay]

No idea what I just watched but its 3 points.....

 

[Upthecowboys]

Flipping eck that was nerve wracking..

Don’t forget Middlesbrough only just about scraped past them on Wednesday. Regardless of the performance that was a huge win..

 

[Johnf]

We should have been out of sight by half time but that second half was a shambles.
Thank Christ we got over the line.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I’m not sure that I’d want to see that formation again next game, and certainly not those personnel.

The wingbacks don’t get forward or high enough, and the three centrebacks looked uncomfortable.

I’m not sure what the answer is, but it’s not that…

 

[Ox4Eva]

We won FFS!

Are we the most negative support in existence

 

[Scotchegg]

Huge win under the circumstances.

Lots to pick out of that, but I honestly couldn't care less right now.

All that matters is the 3 points.

 

[BrockBuster]

We won it in the first half no doubt. Second half was mind-blowing.

Whether it's the players lacking confidence, nerves or instruction something was horribly wrong with that. Sheff Weds were poor all game, even when they were on top it was more down to our failings than their ability.

Talk about handing them the initiative. Just at a complete loss for our approach second half. They were there for a confidence boosting hammering and instead we get away with one.

 

[JoeUFC]

Bannan is good, isn't he?

Lankshear and Krastev looked like they were running through treacle in the second half.

Also felt GR was hamstrung by the sub windows, which made everything harder.

6 points from 9 is great but that wasn't fun.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Scrappy win, terrible performance, looked like a team clearly lacking confidence but 3 points are 3 points.
We won’t be in the bottom 3 going into the international break.

 

[Osleroad]

We had two players injured, about equal shots on target and Sheff W 12 off target. Guess some players like Sparky have put another nail in their coffin. Here we go on RadOx with the armchair managers.

 

[isibuko]

decent 1st half, awful 2nd. Great to get the 3 points but as others have said it feels more like a defeat. I like Rowett but he was so slow to make subs today. Also we have a lot of leadership and experience on the pitch even after Cam went off but nobody was showing any of it. Where was any calmness from Helik, Brown, Long, Vaulks etc?

BDK’s been off it last 2 games too.

 

[forevayella]

Shemmy and Harris are not up to this level, they seem to make us worse when they come on. Two shocking misses.

I was surprised the subs didn’t come quicker, we looked very leggy second half.

A wins a win but that was an awful watch second half.

 

[brassmonkey]

That miss from harris was so bad it was comical

 

[GreenMachine]

Glad we got over the line going to see my wednesday supporting brother inlaw later tonight so that's good happy for Wednesday overall they got that charlatan out of the club and played with heart especially in the second half. Onwards and upwards up the Ox!!

 

[Symp59]

Absolutely 3 points the most important thing ,we just need to be in half a decent postion at Xmas ,then 3/4 players out then 3 /4 in ,we need better .But we are battling like we do ,a week on the training ground and also abit of a breather then Millwall back at home. Excellent result end of .
