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

Mate, I think ya watching Sunderland commentary but Franky is off?

 

And so it begins.

 

It wasnt first chance though. Patto had to tip one over the bar about 10mins ago

 

Haha I am!! Confusing myself

 

I don't live in the North East anymore but I'll give my future bairns a choice rather than force the affliction on them - they can support Sunderland or they can live in the shed!

 

Meant to be giving our fans some ****ing confidence man and we can’t even look good against Oxford for **** sake

 

Disjointed again, we need to back to our original pattern of play, 2 center backs are huge.

 

Are you sure that's the Oxford commentary

 

Yeah a fairly comfortable save from a long range effort. Not what I’d call a “chance” mate

 

Disagree. They are playing with more intensity and only patto made to work

 

I was going to say when ya first said you were watching it are you sure it's not just franky not doing it. Then you said mountain to climb and it was said on mine 30 seconds later . Not as good as franky

 

It was a cracking save from a shot flying into the top corner from what i saw.

 

Great move and unlucky Isidor

 

Oxford are scrapping I’ll give you that, but don’t think we’re playing ****

 

We're playing well enough just not taking our chances

 

I've never seen such polite applause from a crowd in a relegation battle

 

Is this a play off game a lot of negativity going around plus 60 mins in this game to go yet…

 

I do. It's slow and lacking urgency. Again. Where is the intensity, the quality, the press.

 

Isidor is soft as **** mind. He gets pushed around so easily, Mayenda is much better in that regard.

Oxford are playing well and battling hard. Sometimes you have to ride these periods out. We'll come into it more as the game goes on and they tire from this intensity, we just need to take our chances when they come.

 

Our style of play looks so different now. There’s no intensity or nothing. Just hoofing it up from the back. Really strange
