Away Match Thread Leyton Orient v Oxford United · EFL Cup · Sat 8 Aug, 15:00

[Northstandboy]

Don't forget predictions now count towards the prediction league, more info here.

 

[90syeIlow]

I'll give it five league games before coming to a decision about how I feel our season may go. If our fans could put the same effort into supporting Ramsay and the players as much as they do their forum meltdowns, we might do ok this season.

 

[Last_man]

Can we just f**k mills off and bdk already. Hopefully we'd be under the 23 players or whatever it is so we can get someone who gives a s**t in

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Glorified pre-season friendly, good workout ahead of the proper stuff next week.

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

Er.. they are as good as gone mate.

Mills maybe, not sure about BDK who is going to buy him he’s had no pre season hasn’t played since March and has had a shoulder operation

 

[Oxymoron]

Ironically, by not playing today, Mills and BDK have just added another £1m to the amount any club now needs to offer to get OUFC interested in selling.....

Haven't seen many / any who aren't giving support to Ramsey? He's been dealt the shittest hand - we'll never know if he's a good or bad coach unfortunately.

 

[Tomox]

We were far more sustainable as a club with lower crowds.

Without the stadium they are trying to get through, we’d have to fold.

 

[trainingcone]

PRB.....the players were struggling with the heat....ffs really!!!!

Then it would the same for Orient and they scored two goals.

 

[Jaboysmith]

Yes. Selling either now would be to give up on 6 months. There is quite literally, 0 creativity in that 11, bar maybe Brannagan who would need better quality ahead of him. That 11 would struggle to score goals at any level

 

[OX14]

Without the stadium they are trying to get through, we’d have to fold.

Great. We will have the best new stadium in league 2 at this rate.

 

[unification]

On me holidays still so just have the result and stats to go on.

In the general scheme of things, not the worst cup exit in the world but I still can’t fathom binning off Bloomfield for a rookie and then dealing him the hand he has. I have major worries about our strikers.

Here’s hoping Ramsey can sort it.

 

[East Stand Fan]

Without BDK and Mills, this is a weak team that lacks an attacking threat and quality. If you add injuries, suspensions and general fitness into the equation then we are absolutely threadbare. Any transfers need to be settled early next week so we know where we stand come the first game.

The board said we have more than enough to compete but if we offload the remaining assets then they should release a new statement on how these sales will enable us to move forward along with timeframes in regards to the embargo.

 

[Elliot]

If I were the owner seeing this, I'd pull my funding out.

Players honestly looked like they couldn't be asked and quickly gave up after conceding, they should be docked a week's wages

 

[Davox]

Fair play to the fans that travelled. I know how horrible it is when you travel a long way there and back to experience complete crap. Hopefully that gives the board an early wake up call of how complacent and reckless they’ve been.

 

[Oufcrealist]

PRB.....the players were struggling with the heat....ffs really!!!!

He really is annoying. They shouldn't have him on being so connected to the club.
Verbal diarrhoea is one way of describing it.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Haven't seen many / any who aren't giving support to Ramsey? He's been dealt the shittest hand - we'll never know if he's a good or bad coach unfortunately.

I get that but Ramsay made really poor substitutions today - but he will learn from that.

The performance was terrible and the players let Ramsay down today - it was pathetic in all honesty.

 

[Barrywedge]

Can't see any light at the end of the tunnel both on or off the pitch.Given up on this season already. Boardroom clueless transfer embargo, second rate first team no sign of new stadium news just DOOM

 

[bazzer9461]

All these promises and journeys we’ve been on have actually been lies I can’t ever believe what ever the board say now.
I hope Williams resigns and takes Dussan with him because they’ve been totally inept and aren’t fit for purpose

 

[Jason]

[trickyricky]

I've the feeling over 7000 fans conned out of their season tickets ... Can't see things getting better.
I hope & prey it does ,but jeezo things look bleak...

I wasn't conned. I support the team and would have bought my season ticket regardless.

 

[bazzer9461]

If as claimed when the embargo first came in it’s not ET’s money as such and his family prevented him from operating if true they may now even pull the plug and leave the club then we’re fooled

 

[Symp59]

Great. We will have the best new stadium in league 2 at this rate.

What ground ? we don't play in the subooteo league yet .

 

[EastStandKieran]

Great. We will have the best new stadium in league 2 at this rate.

League two is being gracious

 

[QR]

Just hope Mills dosen't get sold.

Just hope harris improves, very hit and miss. Never really resolved the striker issue for the last season or two.

Fat chance. He's actually getting worse!!

 

[westyorkshireexile]

Were any of the SMT or directors at the match today to witness what they have to our club?

 

[bazzer9461]

Fair play to the fans that travelled. I know how horrible it is when you travel a long way there and back to experience complete crap. Hopefully that gives the board an early wake up call of how complacent and reckless they’ve been.

Board? What board? Have we got one? They seem non existent and are taking us customers fans as mugs

 

[bazzer9461]

Fat chance. He's actually getting worse!!

Totally agree and sorry I don’t think GoD is the answer

 

[Jaboysmith]

Roll on Saturday, I can’t wait to see us put it right now.

 

[Elliot]

I wonder where those ppl who said we're gonna get autos/win the league will be

The stadium news is fosb had their judicial review request turned down beginining of July. They have requested an oral hearing from another judge hoping to overturn the previous judge's desicion. This will be probably be this month. We have to be patient over the stadium.
