Match Day Thread Oxford United FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 26th April 2025 - KO 15:00

We don't have any game changers on the bench mind. The 2 brought on are the only ones with a remote chance of making an impact

 

and to double down on this

throw centre backs on when defending leads week after week and invariably throwing away said lead

 

Boro still 0-0 and in danger of bottling it versus Norwich

 

Wow a right winger willing to go beyond the full back causes a problem for Oxford? He's done more in ONE MINUTE than Roberts all game.

 

Lots of huffing and puffing but lacking serious quality in forward areas

 

Two wingers absolutely essential in the summer

 

he’s ****e

wonderfully gifted technical footballer with limited football iq

 

I’d say 3 - two on the right and one left.

Not sure who would take Roberts tho. Got to hope a relegated prem side who don’t actually watch the championship think he’s still decent and throw a few million at us

 

Book someone ref

 

Don’t know how if mundle ain’t fit but for me le fee has to be central and you build off that

can’t have that quality stuck out wide

 

Celtic or MLS. Saudi love a high profile player as well.

 

At some point we need to see RLB earn his crust here mind. Where is the tactical shifts the changes the change on style to arrest this absolutely lifting form and performances ?

 

I’m starting to worry a bit now. I seem to lose confidence every game with his tactics and play style

 

As much as I agree, let’s ask the players to ****ing try first

I’m so annoyed I can except losing when you’re the second best team, but mix that in with players not trying it does my head in. No excuse to not try

 

The players could chip in …

… Dan Neil must be playing in camouflage green.

 

RLB should obviously definitely still be manager in August for the new season but the recent form is definitely going to play into the minds of the hierarchy if it continues into the playoffs and then he doesn’t get a good start.

 

Blackburn go above Boro.

Coventry lose at Luton.

Plymouth 2-0 up

All crazy.

 

80minutes zero shots on target is a huge concern

 

Boro down to 9th but if they score they go 6th, and even if they don’t they could still go up.

mental playoff race and mental relegation race. In a way we’re lucky to be out of it all

 

This for me

don’t think tactics are as much a problem as the players mindset is

they’re waiting for the play offs
