View From Oxford — The View From

"Beat us in 2nd gear, well played blades hope you go back up. Best wishes for the rest of the season. We’d be satisfied if we stay that’s all it’s about for us this season" "Sheffield United are a better team than Middlesbrough, the table shows that, they just took it fairly easy on us,

Cheers Roy

 

[CornwallBlade]

Thanks Roy, feel for them, reading that reminded me of us last season. Wish them well and hope they stay up.

 

[Stretch]

Cheers Roy.

Completely dominant performance. We've been on the other end of these ourselves.

 

[Grey Blade]

It's good to see decent comments and no bitterness

 

[coaxingstar71]

Good humoured fans ole-ing when their team finally passed the ball abd the chant of we're going to score in a minute.

They are clearly missing the tomorrow man, Michael Appleton - what became of him?

 

[originaltrueblade]

What honest comments and for that I hope they stay up.

Oxford I hope you beat that lot from S6

Thanks Roy

That was too nice, but not inaccurate. Especially the last comment

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Well I have to say that’s the most honest ,well rounded & fair comments that called it right from the oppo since … well I can’t remember !!! … even the last comment re atmosphere tonight bang in the money …nothing more really to add

 

[DI36O]

Scrolled and scrolled looking for a shithouse comment and there wasn't a single one. 0/10, furious.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Nice one Oxford fans and cheers Roy.

Strange that we win to go top and the crowd is quiet.
Almost like most of the punters don't enjoy seeing us in second gear

 

[Houston_Blade]

Last comment is interesting, I had their commentary on and they were constantly on about how quiet it was. In fairness to them one of the commentators said that it was the equivalent in importance to us as when they were in League 2 playing a nothing game.

But we were winning to go top of the league - surely that's worth a bit more noise ?
Those grunters would be bouncing !

'What can one do against a team of that quality'



One can jolly well roll over and have one's belly tickled old sport. Tally ho!

 

[knowsnowt]

Bar the vinny Jones comment I can't eat lettuce warm.
Class fans.

It’s like when we go and play Man City and people say they’re quiet, they probably beat us and went or stayed top but it’s hardly anything to get excited about. If it was last game of the season to go top it would be different.

The atmosphere at BDTBL is so up and down, shit ref and a shithouse oppo player/manager is the main kicker for a good bit of noise.

Comes down to expectation levels,
A team doing better than it should be will always be backed more noisily

Ask City fans about an atmosphere, a quite noisy and fervent bunch in days gone by, but now they just expect to win everything and started booing after three successive defeats.
Six successive defeats has left them unable to even boo

 

[Inter_blade83]

Cant argue with the comments. Watching from home, it was as comfortable as it can get.

Just hope now we start against Sunderland with the same oressing intensity as we did last night and we'll have the game won by HT again.

We're a very good team this year and strangle the life out of the opposition most weeks. Consistency is the key.

It's normal for us to be at the top end of the Champ, and against (without trying to be offensive) a league one outfit. Routine win, move on to the bext game.

Friday will be different. Two teams at the top thrashing it out.

As for the other lot. Of course they'd be bouncing. They have been top of the league in this division for going on 30/40 years.

Roy must have some spare "Kitson is a dirty ginger git" comments in the back of his cupboard to throw in.

 

[diode_blade]

Cheers Roy.

 

[HD8 Blades]

The game reminded me of a game v Sunderland maybe 5 years ago. Subdued atmosphere due to us being so much better, it felt like a training session. Think we won that 3-0 in 2nd gear too

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Well they were a nice bunch, I'm rooting for them to stay up now.
The few comments about us being in second gear makes us sound like we were on a driving lesson rather than playing football.

 

[Bladesince59]

Nice comments

 

[GodricBlade]

I appreciated their chant of
“We’ve got the ball, we’ve got the ball”
which turned into
“We’ve lost the ball, we’ve lost the ball”
when Souza inevitably took it back off ‘em.

And did I hear a “There’s only one Georgie Baldock” chant from them early on?

Fair comments from them all there Roy & I hope they enjoy their season in the Championship. Sadly, I can’t see ‘em staying up.

 

[relish]

On the atmosphere: it was very flat. It was also, I think, our lowest attendance of the season(?). But that’s hardly surprising when we have two home games in 4 days, and this was the less exciting one. Lots of people will have skipped last night to come on Friday instead.

Not too sure but I think they was top of the league after first game this season? If I remember rightly think they won the title back in August.
