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

Ah well onto Saturday, minutes in the legs for some returning players I guess

 

****ing he’ll man. 4th in the league and the manager is getting stick from everyone!

I wonder if we would’ve said that at the start of the season.

Not good enough today agreed, but, and imo much more importantly, no injuries, no suspensions. 1 to go then our “season” starts fir me

 

QPR next week is vital. Win and play well, this stinking run gets forgtton. Play like this and the vibe into the play offs will be fear.

 

Cardiff officially relegated …

… thereby cunningly avoiding Wrexham

 

if we're flat in the playoffs I'd sack him.

Call me a bedwetter, but the tactics combined with the potential maangement leading into the playoffs is sackable.

That first leg crucial for him and this club.

 

Exactly. That’s all these last few have been about. No injuries as I mentioned above is massively important. Mayenda is a must for me mind! I like Isidor and the service he got today was woeful, but mayenda can make things happen

 

What an awful nickname. What were your expectations at the start of the season?

I thought O9, Neil, Hjelde and Roberts were awful. You could add Isidor but we fail to offer him any service.

 

Would bother me more if we need a win to secure POs or survival. Or it was the POs itself.

At the end of the day it’s just a silly game.

onto QPR at home, get the SoL packed


enjoy your evening gents.

 

That's all you can say mate.

Whatever the case we’ll either go up or we won’t.

At this stage all we can do is support them.

Clubs who are absolutely desperate for points have done worse than us today.

 

No point having players on the pitch if intensity or some standard isn't present. I agree with no injuries but our first team just got shagged off oxford man.

 

Bit of a rebuild in the summer if we stay down. Become a bit stale. Last couple month performance wise have been shocking. A don’t want RLB gone but some question should be asked. Wonder if Neil could be dropped for PO if mundle is back, doesn’t look arsed atm. Anyway, win next 4 and we’re up

 

I agree that we need a big performance next week.

but I am still of the opinion the players are clearly not in the right mentality. They can still turn up to the play offs. Only Bristol city are playing well in the play offs at the moment

 

Aye absolute worst case scenario we’re in the championship next year with a canny wad of cash it could always be worse

 

Congratulations to Oxford on survival. I think they deserve to stay up from what I've seen this season.

Awful show from us and definitely concerning. I think we're still capable of showing up in the playoffs, the problem is that RLB has now made our performance in the playoffs about him. Win and his strategy to rest players was genius. Lose and he's cost us promotion. That will be the perception, no matter if the reality ends up being different.

 

Our patched up /trying to avoid injuries/suspensions first team got beat 2-0.

 

Shambolic performance that. Genuinely horrific. Only positive I can think of is that nobody was injured.

Stinking individual performances across the team but shoutouts in particular for Roberts, Mepham and Neil for being the worst players on the pitch. I hate to do this again but Roberts gives me no choice, get the **** out of my football club. All fart no ****e. Horrid football player and he represents everything I hate in a footballer. Notice his family hasn't been making snarky comments on social media recently like they do after every half decent performance, maybe because he hasn't had one in months.

I am seriously concerned for the playoffs now. That was pretty much the team that will start the first leg of the semi final and I seen nothing today (or over the last few months) that gives me confidence. This is what I meant by it's so hard to just flick the switch and perform at a higher standard. Oxford are so much worse than anyone we will play in the playoffs as well.

Next weekend is so important now. Needs to be a 9/10 performance, result doesn't matter but performance needs to be there.

 

.

In your opinion. I wasn’t bothered today. Wanted a decent performance but was more important to get through as I say. Not sure why it is that important when you look at where we are. Utterly superb season. That’s all that matters to me.

Id have been delighted scraping in on the last day personally.

 

100% agree.

 

Well that was ****
