If we get relegated does robin's get the sack or do we keep him for another assault at league 2???

Bit early yet but he’d get sacked/leave I imagine

doesn't dignify a response, which ironically I have done

 

[stevefloyd]

I won't respond either

 

[stevefloyd]

Damn

 

[Nick]

Shipley coming on

 

[higgs]

How we ended last season I would have thought just replace mcnulty maybe a new left back and a midfielder to help Doyle and Kelly and other than that there wasn't much wrong. All the other changes are unnecessary in my opinion?

Yeah agreed, no neeeeeed.....

 

[speedie87]

How well or badly is Brown playing?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Oxford just put a 16 year old on

thank you. i'm not one to exaggerate but that's the best post ever on this site.

 

[Nick]

We had a shot!

 

[skybluepm2]

I wonder what quality we could have gotten to replace McNuulty if we'd signed 3-4 players rather than 13-14

Or not spent £200k on an out of favour Walsall striker with a poor track record that we didn’t need. Surely that money added to our previous offer could’ve pushed through the deal with Pompey? To me, that would’ve made more sense.

Hasn't been that bad

 

[GaryJones]

This is a great result - means we can concentrate on the League! :happy:

we have stepped up a division and we need to evolve. It will take time

We'd never get the thread up to 60 pages that way, though?

We could get Chaplin to play right back. That's about sums up our random systems

So far we have unluckily lost to Scunthorpe, got a point in our first away league game of the season and look like losing badly tonight. None of the above justifies the completely negative tirade of comments from a lot of people on here tonight. A disappointing start to the season doesn’t mean it will be a poor season. A trawl through last season’s match day threads would reveal many of the same people being completely over the top in a negative way in what turned out to be a promotion season.

 

[Nick]

Great save

 

[capel & collindridge]

According to the BBC, Oxford are leading on every metric from Possession to Fouls, but we are leading on Shots on Goal by 4 to 3. And, oh, they are leading on goals scored, 2-0 I think.

Was it JCH having a double Sambuca by the corner flag?

No chance we are leading in shots

But we’ve only been out of this division for 1 season!
How much evolving do we need? It’s the same bloody game ffs.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Saturdays team could quite literally be anything

Good point.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Ogogo doesn't sound like he's kept possession much

 

[Hobo]

Oh how ive missed Clive’s commentary

“Oh it’s a red card for Karl Robinson who berates the linesman for an offside decision”........”or is a yellow?”

I don’t know Clive, I was kind of relying on you on this one!!

That's not an embarrassing error though is it? Just trying to workout the situation. I have seen refs with two cards in their hands before showing their decision.

and we went down

I pretty much agree. However, I have to admit to being a little concerned at the way robin's seems to have no idea what his best team or formation is so just appears to be throwing out random selections I the hope 5jat eventually one will work.

Now if only Andreu could get himself injured.......

 

[pipkin73]

he means shots on target

Roll a dice, seems like Robins is

 

[Nick]

On his own to be fair, getting hammered

Ogogo doesn't sound like he's kept possession much
