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

Millwall winning and level with Coventry

 

Sorry lads not sure if I have missed owt in recent days or so but where is clocky?

 

Not sure I want that with two games left. Use it when we’ve got it, but no point risking injury going in fir big challenges and pressing at 100mph

 

not watching but apparently we have 62% possession so can’t just be hoofing it?

 

But this form is worrying going into the playoffs

 

I want us to play well. That's it. Play well and impose on a game. Why are we so boring and slow. That will continue into the important games. It's not a light switch.

 

Time will tell. I am not concerned.

 

Dan neil is moving around this pitch with 0 effort

 

Our attacking passes are over hit (Roberts) or cut out (Rigg). Need to do better

 

Not at all. We went into our last play offs as the top for team in the division! And Southampton were ****e going into the play offs last year. Only games that really matter now are those three. If we can get results here and next week so be it, but no biggie if not fir me

 

Runs into him and falls over, and he gets a yellow fir it too??

 

I was confident before today I really thought we would put in a proper performance. For the manager to say we are in playoff mode and then it be more of the same ****e with no urgency just contradicts him

 

So the same as the last few months then apart from 1 or 2 games. This is what I am saying. We have went full strength today for a reason and we are still floating about the pitch with zero intent or intensity.

 

Their keeper hasnt even had a save to make yet ffs.
Like i said before the game. Theres no excuses today. This is close to the strongest team we have that we're hoping to get us back in the Prem in a few weeks time. I dont understand why some fans say theres no need for concern.

 

Le Bris was good at the start of the season in making some minor tweaks at half time and the second half being a big improvement. Let’s hope that happens today

 

We need to see a much better second half.

 

Our attacking identity feels like it has disappeared the second half of the season. Don’t look a threat often at all. Going to need our defensive work to be at its best to get through the playoffs if we keep playing the way we are.

Need a lot more up the top of the pitch like, Mayenda will have to start in the playoffs imo

 

Dull as **** this mind, too slow with the ball like always

 

Fwiw I can understand the intensity being lower considering the games coming up. But I’d like to see the patterns of play being played and practiced

 

Never thought I’d say this but I’d take rigg off for Watson to get le fee in the middle
