Home Match Day Thread 26/12/23: L1 - OUFC v Cambridge

[Northstandboy]

As I said in the build up thread, we need a good performance and result in front of a big crowd.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Something of a great escape. Never mind, let's get the transfers in and see what Des is made of.

 

[chuckbert]

Where’d we be without Brown
Shame Brannagan didn’t go done, honest lad and drove us on today.

As they read out on Radox "Jingle Brown Jingle Brown, Jingle all the way"

Really is a fantastic centre half on his day. Forget debating whether he’s a competent left back because when he’s at his best he’s simply too good to move from his best best position which is very clearly at centre back.

He and Moore just need to be a little more urgent and positive in possession as their sluggishness stifles us in midfield. Besides that they’re a thoroughly decent pairing to build around.

 

[Yellowlab]

Kip’s gone quiet again.

I wonder why

 

[MattyGreensLeftBoot]

I'm glad for that result loosing the Northampton game late then winning that one late gets you more points than drawing both bit still sadly shows us for about where I think we are which isn'tid table side not being promoted or relegated.

 

[Followtheox1]

Right. I am utterly confused. Buckingham just said Perkins is training well.

 

[Osleroad]

Des sounding quite bullish - oh those highs and lows

 

[chuckbert]

Right. I am utterly confused. Buckingham just said Perkins is training well.

Being kept out by Harris apparently

 

[Jon-ioualways]

Right. I am utterly confused. Buckingham just said Perkins is training well.

But not training as well as are Harris and GoD, which tells you all you need to know.

 

[Followtheox1]

Being kept out by Harris apparently

And said Gats ahead of him for the bench. Also said no conversations about him going back.

 

[Concretebob]

Why do you think

 

[Followtheox1]

But not training as well as are Harris and GoD, which tells you all you need to know.

He didn't say that though.

 

[Swaby39]

Right. I am utterly confused. Buckingham just said Perkins is training well.

I think the fact he can’t get on the bench beyond O’Donkor who can’t even get on the field to replace a spent Mark Harris at 1-1 with 15 mins to play tells you all you need to know. He’ll be gone, surely, once we nail down the replacement body.

 

[Tomox]

Is Brannagan now suspended?

I just think it's strange nothing has come out and they are still giving the line he is training well etc. Given how poor O'Donker has been, it just doesn't add up.

 

[Followtheox1]

Is Brannagan now suspended?

No.

Perkins has been a bloody waste of space. He’ll be in for a shock when he returns to Leeds.

 

[JOHN BOY]

7 first team squad players injured, no out and out scorer, manager slithered off, had to recruit a new manager, still lacking back room staff, 5th in the league.

Not too shabby of you ask me.

And transfer window to come.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Is Brannagan now suspended?

Radox said he wouldn’t be

 

[WRox]

Not sure quite how that shifted so much our way - Tyler second half was absolutely unrecognisable from the first, Stevens too, McEachran made a big difference as well. Two more games to battle through before the window gets going.
