Oxford v TLOD

[ScillyRover]

Well, that first half was diabolical. At sixes and sevens all over the pitch.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Can’t see how we’ll finish in top 6. Too many injuries when we need everyone the most.

Not sure I blame the manager but it’s going to be hard to make a case for him been in charge next season when we drop like a stone now. Shame I wanted it to work out and not really his fault

[RobTheRover]

Did anyone see how Copps put that ball down for the corner?   Someone is getting a bollocking at half time.

[Filo]

We’re done!

Forget auto’s and forget play offs we are spent, too many lightweights!

[Jimmydee]

What the heck was Smith doing for that 3rd goal, playing statues I guess.

[PDX_Rover]

Football eh?

[pib]

We are absolutely rancid at the moment.

No invention, no ideas, no intensity, no movement, don’t look like we can even pass the ball, shooting ourselves in the foot over and over again trying to tap it around at the back, and we can’t defend to save our lives. When we do get into good positions we refuse to cross or shoot.

There is about 60-70 yards between our defence and attack, and all we’ve got to offer after knocking it around at the back is a long punt into a striker who has got no support around him.

Absolutely terrible. It’s looking like some of the results earlier in the season were papering over the cracks because the team we’ve been watching for most of the last 2 months is a struggling mid-table team, not a promotion team.

[Alan Southstand]

I think we know AB will not be manager next season!

[DonnyOsmond]

Imagine this defence in the Championship.

[drfchound]

Our next opponents are two up at Lincoln as well.

[bobbymax]

As embarrassing as I feared.
Second to every ball, nobody tackling, nobody making runs and several just stood around waiting for something to happen and you wouldn't say Oxford are anything special. An utter shambles and our glaring lack of depth is being finally exposed. This could be a cricket score!

[glosterred]

First 20 minutes I thought it looked like 2 fairly even sides, the next 25 there was only 1 team playing football the other was chasing around like a dog chasing it’s tail.

Still 45 mins to go, this game could go 1 of 2 ways, a gallant fight back or more likely from what I’ve seen in the last 25 mins an embarrassment

You know what they say.....Funny old game innit ? Except I'm not laughing at the moment

The team i'm watching looks like mid table conference team, and that's being kind.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Pretty clear we were a 1 man team, he has gone Preston and our season has gone to pot

Ha ha!

[Jersey Rover]

Too many Players just not up to standard for promotion. Jones Halliday Amos Greaves Simoes and players out of position, No bite in midfield Copps never a center Mid needs to be out wide, Fej needs help up front, poor poor tactics

[Filo]

This will be 6-0, AB you’re not managing the Belles now! Get in there and dish some bollockings out!

[Pancho Regan]

It’s quite incredible how many times we choose to play the ball backwards. It’s not as if we do it and then rebuild an attack, we just end up getting flustered as they press us and we then lose the ball!

Even when we start running forward with the ball, numerous times we stop, turn and play it backwards.

Very poor. Damage limitation here now.

[StocksArmy]

Its hard to blame this on injuries. We have some major work to do before now and next season because this set of players either arent good enough or theyre not prepared to dig in for the new manager which is going to be Butlers undoing. Barring Smith if its possible I would send the loans back now and play the rest of the season out with youths.

[Lesonthewest]

Thought we started really well & they looked low on confidence. They score & we fall apart.

[adamtherover]

I've ordered ifollow, don't know why, not sure the last time I saw a good away performance? Or result.  You never know?

think ill donate Saturdays tenner to the cats home, more beneficial than me watching this!!

[RugbyRover]

Looks like we're playing Man City

[goalkick]

Thought we were playing with ten men. Several players not in the game.was not sure simoes was playing.watched all the games we have played and we are just going backwards. Cannot see where a goal would come from.

[Superspy]

We look pretty lively tonight going forward

This aged well.

[sedwardsdrfc]

7 cert starters out for us to be fair take that out if any team they’ll struggle. But it’s still been poor would have hoped we could stay in the hand more and be harder to beat

[i_ateallthepies]

Bollockings won't make footballers of them, Filo.  You can roll a turd in glitter but it's still a turd.

[DonnyOsmond]

Our players are obviously shitting it because of their crowd noises, they've got a 12th man.

[jmt23]

I think it may be beneficial to get the Cowleys, or someone else in now, let them see who they would want out of our contracted players for next year,  and sort this out. We are not a bad team, but this looks poor.

[steve@dcfd]

Unless we can get James, Bostock, Bogle and Sims back we can forget winning another game. Playoffs will be a pipe dream.

The side tonight is not good enough. Amos is not a league one left back. Halliday gets destroyed from any player with speed. Greaves works tackles but is not the player we need. Smith playing to many games. Richards as gone since DM left he lost his mojo. Simoes not good enough. Okenabirhie not a centre forward better on left. Copps is Copps but he won’t win games on his own.

[besty]

12 games to go still in the playoffs
