Fan's view - Bury

The walk back to Sandford was in almost complete silence.

Sounded dreadful Paul. I believe I've encountered you in a similarly distraught mood before, and I don't mean the 1-5 at Cambridge which was just numbing.

Remember Barrow 3 Oxford 0 on a Friday evening in the Conference? I was with my wife, who you know well through work. After the 'match' we met you. Nobody felt like engaging in conversation, even though you'd not seen Paula in years. Quick hello then off into the gloom.

I've read the match thread. How many people are really fooled by two uninspiring wins against Dons and someone else? We are in trouble.
Was that Patterson in charge and live on Setanta sports? The manager whom Pep is emulating in "good bunch of lads" attitude even though they're crap?
 
Excellent as always Paul. You did not mention that, from the first minutes, Clotet was arguing with his management colleagues & barking incessant instructions to his players - now that shows that something is indeed wrong.

That reminds me of wondering just what Wayne Brown and clothead were discussing on the touch line. Didn't look like tea or coffee? at half time!

It's colder here than in Spain. You can't expect Pep to take his hands out of his pockets let alone wave them in the cold air.... Training in the Canaries after Tuesday as they have a break..........

I honestly cannot remember seeing you there. I remember the 3-0 though, just. Sometimes I just shut down. I'd be terrible company in such circumstances so therefore best not to engage in conversation with anyone.

I wondered at which point you would stop being fascinated by Pep's PR line that we have as many points as last season and focus on the grim reality in front of your eyes.
As an admirer of your general perspicacity, I am relieved that - at last - it wasn't mentioned this week. Two trains headed in opposite directions may end up at the same station for a while. As a passenger you are ill-advised to assume the same destination.

But it will end in a train wreck! :cry:
 
"To my left there’s a fence and a carpark. To my right there’s some people and a sterile concrete wall. Then there’s a game of football in front of me. Take your pick, there wasn’t much to choose between the three."


That summed the whole thing up perfectly.​

I absolutely was not fascinated by Pep's PR line, whatever that was. I was of the opinion that we were not doing as well as last season so thought I'd check out a few facts. It was then that I discovered we were game for game better off this season then last season. A few FVs ago I said I expected that to change and for us to fall behind as we upped our game in the second half of 2016/17. If I have an opinion but there are facts that counter that opinion I'll not ignore those facts. I think plenty of people do though. Cheers
 
I wouldn't blame James Henry for giving it back to the moaners.
At the moment there is no singing, no flags, no support, no atmosphere; just people attacking the players.
I sometimes think Oxford fans want to return to League 2.

No they don’t want to return but
Maybe the those in the ivory towers do along with their employee.
 
For years we used to dream of playing in League 1. We used to look at Walsall and Fleetwood and think, Why not us?
Now we are here it's all a bit crap.

It wasn't crap last season. It has been crap a lot of the time this. But it wasn't crap at home v Pompey or the Gills or indeed v Bradford even though it was only a draw. Or away at Peterborough and Plymouth. Those games all seem a long time ago now though.

Speak for yourself. I remember going to support the club in the old first division and many years in the old second. Never dreamed we would sink back out of the league altogether or, be content with what is now the first division (old third)
 
We used to take the old 2nd Division for granted but now it seems like another planet.
We would be minnows in that league.
 
Well once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on our side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days
Wont you tell me
Where have all the good times gone

Will this depression last for long?
 
I hate it when we lose. But quite often one holds ones hands up and says, fair enough we were beaten by the better team. Occasionally, however, we get beat and it is such an utterly soul-destroyingly pitiful performance that one questions ones 40+ years of supporting our beloved club. Yesterday was the latter. I heard a bloke saying that yesterday was worse than the 7-0 and I could not have agreed with him more.

I played a bit of pub football in my teens / early 20s and was basically s**t. I have no idea what it takes to be a professional football manager. But I think I know one thing...if you get a free kick nearer to the half way line than your own 18 yard box, you should not 'coach' your players to play it sideways or pass it backwards, you should, should you not, 'coach' your players to play the ball forward.....to attack.....to threaten the opposing goal, 99 times out of 100. We seem to do that 1 time out of 100.

What an absolute shower of shite.
