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

Once again was never a Oxford foul mind

 

That's abysmal.

 

I've no idea mate.

All I know is that those players can all perform much better than they are.

I know Oxford will tire and sit back but I'm not sure that's our game plan.

I'd rather risk going all out for goals that sit back and hope for breakaways personally.

 

That decision was worse than we’ve been playing and that’s saying something

 

Careful mate. They’ll pile in soon enough

 

Aye this is ****ed. Confidence is at zero

 

****e, we should be set up to dominate teams like this. Really concerned about RLB style of play

 

I’m checking out for the day. This is poor, really poor, but we need to remember it’s not the playoffs. Save your angst for those games. If we play like this, then is the time to be angry.

Until then let’s hope no injures or suspensions to really make today ****e

 

When your consider the gap between us and them and what we’re trying to build up to, with no pressure on us in this particular game, it’s not great is it.

theres a lot on the line for these and they’ve been fearless from the off. It’s as if it’s us battling to stay in the league mentality wise.

 

Genuine question here, not pissing the bed or anything like that, but this theory that the lads are taking it easy and we will show up for the play offs etc... I hope they do, because if that has been the game plan and theory, then it's a ropey one imo. The power of momentum can't be ignored. Coventry have shat the bed the last two games, they lose next week and Millwall win they're in the playoffs with 1 loss on 5 behind them, Bristol City the same, 1 loss in 5.Shef United can beat anyone on their day.Still a 2nd half for us to play but if we don't get something today, that no wins in 5 since West Brom. Like I say, not being a fanny, but the play offs next week could be made up of a team that's been genuinely chasing automatics all season S.U, Millwall and Bristol with great form baring a blip during their last 5,and us that have pretty much had play offs for over month now and the only "stale" team in there with poor form.

 

Expected a lot more today I really did. Idiot

 

I'm not sure how people can say this isn't worrying. Say what ya like about them holding back to prevent being injured etc... but going into the play offs in this form isn't the best preparation!

 

Not even bothered that both goals weren’t fouls

no effort to win the header on the first, no effort to follow the ball in from the second regardless of how **** Patto did

Pathetic

 

I don’t think it’s a theory more than a hope. We’ve all got to hope and support. Getting on their backs will do nothing.

 

Hume to blame as we were about to break

 

When did they last score 2 or 3 in a match?

 

This is embarrassing mind

 

I'm not on their backs. I'm looking at the numbers and form of the other teams around us mate and asking the question.

 

All over the shop

yes the game means nowt but there’s no pressure on us and people are crumbling

neils poor form continues

 

Are you still confident the play-offs…. looking like 4 defeats on the spin, not a good time to be losing form.
