Away Match Day Thread 25/11/2023 L1: Cheltenham Town v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

Des has left behind melting Mumbai and starts his English managerial career at cold Cheltenham.

COYY!!!

 

[Oxfordpete]

It’s been coming we are not getting it together

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Damnit

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Amazing ball by Rodrigues to set Bodin free, who does really well to square it to Rodrigues who’s shot is blocked - but if he’d just had the vision to roll it across to Mills he’d have had a tap in

 

[Yellow2K22]

Atrocious start under Des. Look absolutely clueless currently

 

[Fat bloke]

Whose going to start it? Buckingham out

 

[Jolteon]

This has the feel of one of those games where we get the absolute s**t kicked out of us and somehow end up with 10 men ourselves

 

[chromeyellow]

Beadle fouled on the corner, surely

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

That was always coming - Cheltenham have been more up for it, more aggressive (helped by the referee being ridiculously lenient)

However, when we keep passing it nicely we can open them up

 

[bdodwell]

GIving us no time on the ball. We need to get a grip.

 

[ChamonixOx]

Brilliant finish. If people now don’t see the contribution Moore makes then they never will. Really missing his composure and ball winning skills at the back. Not to mention the way he plays it out from the back. Negru not the same option.

 

[Scrongo]

COME ON!!!!!!!

 

[NorthernExile]

Worried about this. Making the most of their physical advantage and their front two are causing us real issues. Men against boys and they're not letting us play.

 

[Peterdev]

Have to say I agree. Des May may we’ll change it all after HT. still think we will win

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Brilliant finish. If people now don’t see the contribution Moore makes then they never will. Really missing his composure and ball winning skills at the back. Not to mention the way he plays it out from the back. Negru not the same option.

If I could bring one player back in to this game it wouldn’t be Moore for Negru, it would be Leigh, allowing Brown to go to left centre back. We're missing Leigh’s ability in the air, and Thorniley isn’t as good as Brown aerially either.

 

[Osleroad]

Not surprising our midfield not in this let alone chances on goal

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Referee allows every foul and hard tackle by Cheltenham go, but then pulls Oxford up for doing exactly the same thing.

Why don’t we leave Mills or Harris up from their set pieces? We have everyone back which means their keeper can take it without a single Cheltenham defender back

 

[ChamonixOx]

Leigh great player, but what Moore has to do to be appreciated is beyond me!! Negru from the back isn’t close to Moore . Looks hurried and rushed and comfortable long ball not short. Notwithstanding, Moore is rock solid against teams like this!

 

[Sarge]

Football will win this ( if this ref allows it to be played) - we came back from 1-0 down to win 1-2 here last season. Cmon Oxford

 

[Jolteon]

Straight punched him in the face. Correct decision, well done ref.

 

[bdodwell]

Absolute clear red
