Oxford
- Thread starter andyd
- Start date
Well that was an embarrassment !.. A well-drilled Oxford walking round and through at will, an inept and leaderless Stanley !.
POOR defending and a midfield bereft of basic footballing skills, imagination and urgency, giving no support whatsoever to a well below-Par set of Strikers !.
Oxford must have felt that their collective Birthdays and Christmases had all come at once ,
having barely to break sweat to overcome the weak and inept Stanley team in front of them !.
Tonight, The Reds were just not fit for purpose, and it gives me no satisfaction whatsoever to say that !.
We must all feel sorry for the Stanley fans who had travelled South and then had to witness and endure the disappointing event !.

A bit baffled by team selection we win 3 on the trot with McGuire playing well at left back Diallio looking solid in midfield and Grant brought in to add a bit of experience and quality up front.I know Diallio supposedly had a knock but all 3 dropped and we lose 2 games one tonight embarrassingly.
Conneely was our best player.
Only one who moved the ball, picked up from defence and looked to play it out wide.
Anyone care to explain different?
Sykes was okay. Bishop battles but didn’t get rub of green.
Rest of team poor.
Opoku positional play is dire, Finley too sloppy.
Nothing went to Bishop.
Johnson, Clark and Pritchard so predictable.
Bursik should have done better.
Bolton will be a tough test .

Shouldn't be every ones beating Bolton, but then again.
Just watched Coleman's post match interview and how he can say we were better in every department is to be honest delusional defence all over the place apart from were they should have been midfield out muscled wingers not at their best , lest said about upfront the better, Ashley-Seal been disappointing so far Grant mysteriously left out?
What an embarrassment that was sitting in a freezing cold stand watching one of the more pathetic performances from Stanley this season.
If someone had said that the team in white had never played together before tonight I wouldn’t have argued with them. They seemed clueless as to where each other were or what they were about to do; lost count the number of times Stanley passed to no-one or, even worse, to the nearest colleague who was already surrounded by Oxford players within tackling distance.
The last 30 minutes was like a training session for Oxford who were fitter, faster, stronger, quicker thinking, more skilful, more eager, and made scoring look easy, three times.
There was more than a league in difference between the two teams tonight and, whilst a competent team, Oxford don’t yet look Championship standard.

And Stanley didn't look league 1standard.
Freezing cold stand it will be at Bolton on Saturday to good luck to those that attend surely Stanley can't be that poor again.
Surprising as that was it was actually a better result for us than if the Shrews had won or even if it had finished in a draw - the only positive from last night
With Tranmere winning we now need 50 points 4 wins we have to play Bolton,MK Don's away Tranmere, Bristol Rovers at home they are your 4 wins on paper 12 points +39 would give us 51 really important games because the rest are all difficult against a lot of the leading teams.
thats why stanley are where they are. irratic players and results. the players are not that bad to get a few results to make division 1 mathmatically safe for another season. like a lot of sides you never know which one is turning up on the day.
i will be very shocked if we need 50 to survive, we will have to see andy,
