[Sheffsteel]

Best move of the match, some nice high quality passing there.
Burrows played in at a tight angle, he goes for power and their keeper makes a good save. Now we need to see more of that.

 

[jono_t2000]

Playing like we don't give a fuck, no intensity. Players walking around the pitch.

Wilder hasn't got the players up for this one whatsoever

 

[SUFCinks]

Very very poor from us so far. Choudry and Peck together in midfield is nasty. Choudhry is absent in MF in possession as positions himself with the DF instead of giving us bodies in the middle. Means Peck is solo in the centre.

We have been extremely poor in possession.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Best chance of the match.

Campbell puts in a good shot in a crowded penalty area.
Their keeper sees it late and sticks out his leg to make a brilliant save turning it around the post for the corner.

We’re still playing in 2nd gear but are now starting to show odd moments of quality.

We have been extremely poor in possession.

Absolutely, as soon as we have possession Choudhury runs to right back leaving only Peck in midfield meaning we have no one to pass to and resort to going long

It's wasteful as fuck.

 

[Jan Age]

It’s all a bit lazy and loose and slap happy

 

[drblade]

been coming

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Fkin awesome

 

[FriethBlade]

We've been poor and that was coming

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

can we start playing now ffs

 

[toledo]

That was awful

 

[Jan Age]

That goal sums up the performance so far

 

[Champagneblade]

Fucking wankers.

What is this sort of fucking performance?

Playing like they’re on tranquilisers.

 

[SUFCinks]

They deserved it. We’ve been fucking rank to watch.

 

[Iceybabey]

Poor goal to concede

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Oxford don't hold onto leads. Let's keep that run going.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Campbell just left him .... Too many coasting through this thinking we just need to turn up and win. Diaz, Brewster doing nothing and both need to come off at half time

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Every time we get a chance to create a small gap at the top we forget how to play football, step it up ffs

 

[toledo]

It’s been a very very poor performance so far…. At a time we should be pushing ahead

 

[FriethBlade]

Need a lot of changes at half time

 

[Sheffsteel]

Can’t complain too much. We’ve been half asleep.
Similar to the other Oxford attacks, just playing percentage football and this time they had a bit of luck where it fell to their player.
I expect we’ll now play with some effort and tempo.

 

[Jan Age]

BBD off and Brewster off

 

[drblade]

We are basically playing with just Peck in midfield.

 

[Thrice]

With Burnley winning today and the game at Turf Moor on the horizon losing today would be an absolute disaster.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We're back to slow slow build up letting teams get organized at the back.

 

[drblade]

Such a contrast to the Coventry game.

Come on Blades

 

[JayGreen17]

Typical this from United… never take their chance… diabolical….

 

[FriethBlade]

BBD off and Brewster off

Yep neither had a kick

 

[JJBlade]

Every time we get a chance to create a small gap at the top we forget how to play football, step it up ffs

Typical shit attitude whenever there's a decent prize for this club to get
Why aim for top spot when we'll be second after today no matter what
Why come out with all the intensity possible when you can slug it out with shit teams, piss everyone off, have fans biting their fingernails instead of supporting you, and maintain that feeling of always being under pressure

 

[Not so Slim ane]

BBD off and Brewster off

Got to be done both terrible, get Brewster's new deal in the bin on this performance
