Match Day Thread Hull City v Oxford Utd

Well done City, well done Rochdale, f**k Lincoln.

 

Not having midweek games for the next few weeks will do all the squad the world of good

 

Donny drew. Lincoln lost. I wish the Posh had played and got a gash result.

 

Oxford played well but we were too professional for them, we looked good all over the pitch and but for a few mid-controls from Wilks, could easily have had more goals. Think we’re putting the pressure on others to catch us up and most don’t have enough games in hand now to overtake us, so in our hands for at least one of the promotion slots and why not go up as champions, like in ‘66?

 

Just playing once a week now and apparently all against bottom half?
Ours to lose now

 

That's a bit harsh on the wheelbarrow.

Don't blame him, it's not his fault. What you don't realise is he plays with a suit of armour underneath his shirt.

 

If you get chance...watch kev Ellison's goal celebration from today haha

 

Ours to lose now. Calm heads needed and look with mirth as they all scramble for points below us.

 

On the money here.
Two form teams now appear to be us and Sunderland.
This sort of game we'd have lost a month ago so fair play to McCann, for whatever he's doing behind the scenes.
We've won nowt yet, so no need to get hysterical, but ...
Fair play to Karl Robinson also - no bollocks mind games before hand, a decent team performance from his lot on the pitch, and from him as Coyle went off it.
583 games he's had 41% success rate (ironically same as McCann) - this board often 'talent spots' players from the oppo as ones to watch, why not managers, maybe Robinson for an upwardly mobile team in the future?

 

Really puts the pressure on the other teams now. Points in the bank are gold dust at this time of year. The games in hand others have start to become a bit of an albatross when you lose one or two. Great to see us hitting form at the right time.

 

It would be nice to win the league. We always seem to go up (recently anyway) as runners up or play off winners.

 

So nice seeing the team doing what you've been asking for for ****ing ages.

 

Didn't he turn us down when he was at MK Dons?

 

Is it a coincidence that this run of form began when Jones took over the screening role because of injury to Smallwood (who did a good job by the way). He just seems so suited to the role and gives confidence to the back four. We should move heaven and earth to get him on a longer contract.

 

All Hail the Dale.

 

We've still got Lincoln away and Sunderland at home, end of April.

 

Excellent performance. KLP magnificent. So unlucky with that dipping curler. Coyle has completely won me over and I was (and am) a big Emmanuel fan. Hope he’s ok.

 

To be honest, I never quite got the KLP hype. I thought it was just because he was one of our own. Today showed what he is capable of and I am quite happy to be proved wrong. Now the challenge is for him to boss more games like that.

 

Tbf he won’t come across a slower full back all season
