Match Thread vs. Oxford City 27.01.21 [FAT QF]

[PedroTheFisherman66]

We only beat them 3-2 under KING KEV when they were 2 leagues below us and can’t remember him getting grief. Maybe tactical adjustments were needed in the first half but also a kick up the ar5e as most of the players were poor, a lot were getting their chance and weren’t taking it.

It's no surprise the disciples are happy with mediocrity and come up with every excuse in the book to cover up the inadequacy in the manager.
Hows about going out from the start of a game and dominating a team.
If the system chosen by the special one is so great why is it everyone who presses us dominates us.
Instead its excuses back to nolans days (again) and waffle about not leading at half time.
Ie taking 5hit to deflect the conversation away from the problem
Being out played.
Playing an inferior team and being dominated is not a recipe for success.
Or is it , according to the disciples it seems to be the way forward.
We got out of jail with a fluke ( a great one)and their keeper up for a corner at the death.
All that glitters is not gold...

There are no Ardley disciples on here. It’s the realism we are a none league side and with that comes the inconsistency of performances, it’s happening to every team at the top with similar budgets.

A totally unbiased view of our goals from an Oxford City fan:

"In the second half we were undone firstly by a rare defensive error by Reece Fleet, and then a totally fluked back flip by Sam which cruelly looped over Dudzinski into the net. Although we tried hard to get at least one back, it was not to be and their third was helped by Ben Dudzinski being out of position".

Totally fluked? No grudge there then

I was thinking about that Sam goal.

If Chicksen had put a decent ball in we'd never have seen it.

Chicken must have two of the most undeserved assists in the history of football. The first was a poor ball to Sam that accidentally committed their player by being misdirected; the second was a cross behind Sam. Still, I’ll take those every game if they lead to goals for us.

So we can only praise the manager when we are leading and half time? Sorry edit that deservedly leading at half time?

Wouldn't it be more shocking and worrying if the management team couldn't identify the problems? Totally oblivious? Remember he knows far more about playing football, managing a football team and football full stop than me and you. Light years ahead in fact.

Finally you mention that he's a lovely bloke which he definitely appears to be , can he at least be praised for breaking character by reading the riot act at half time and getting a reaction from his players?

That's a very good point Matt we were a much better side then and needed a 95th minute goal to win the game against the same lower league opposition.

Plus it the FA Cup not the Build a Bear Cup so we wouldn't have been playing our fringe/reserve players.

Pedro over to you
