Oxford United, will we be delighted

[holmesfield_owl]

Well, no one's started one so I'll do it.

Should really be looking to take three points from this one and with our good away form I'm confident that will be the case.

3-1 to The Wednesday!

Up the Owls 🟦⬜🟦⬜🟦

[Harry Lime]

I think you're right 1-3 to the Owls. Was thinking that earlier in the week, 0-3 up and cncede a late consolation for Oxford, but for some mysterious reason I put us down for a 0-2 win in the super 6, either will do though. Ugbo, Smith and Paterson with the goals. Vaulks for Oxford, if they're all fit of course.

Must watch DR's press conference, January is nearly upon us, will we be in early for the M&S Norfolk Blacks or will we leave it late for the Turkey Crowns from Lidl.

[Beaconowl]

knowing that bloody woman referee, from one of the last times we visited Oxford, will not be on the pitch immediately makes me feel more positive 

[mkowl]

The positive is we are better away from home.

The negative is its not an easy place to get a result, don't think anyone has had it easy.

I think our squad are happier away from the expectations of S6. But which version we get seems to be an open question. If we think we should win the probability is we won't.

Getting the attacking side to work is the challenge

I don't understand the pun.  Assuming there is one. 🤔

Perhaps we need Inspector Morse to decipher it 

Or it just rhymes and no pun

Perhaps it’s a reference to what Kassam means in Turkish and the tenuous link to Turkish delight.

[holmesfield_owl]

It just rhymed and sounded catchy in my head, no other credit can be given 😆

[holmesfield_owl]

[mkowl]

If at first you don't succeed

Err 

Keep doing it again 

[Owling_Wolf]

That's either Johnson as a proper full back or Gassama at wing back again.

It's gassama at right wing back. 

[Andyben]

Thankfully we’re the only game seemingly not being covered in my iptv

Back to the ironing them 

[MAL]

A couple things...

1. Fooking wankers

[Reesh]

Yan Valery is fucking atrocious 

[MAL]

A couple things...

1. It will be interesting to see what, and to who he gives yellow cards to.

2. How are Oxford allowed to show the match on a big screen.

[owl4ever1867]

That linesman on the far side was way behind the play on their goal, it was offside.

He didn't look offside, Valery seemed to play him on.

[owl4ever1867]

Charles did all the hard work there, the final ball yet again

 

[owl71]

Get the fuck in.

[owl4ever1867]

YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS 

Windass

[MAL]

What the hell do commentators see.

Saying it's an own goal

Left wing.

[mkowl]

Strange set up, as wide open as a whore's legs 

[KrolMong]

It’s a back four.

Valery has been awful at right back defensively. Max Lowe has been awful when he gets the ball. Shea Charles’ distribution is really good today UNTIL he gets about 35 yards out.

We have created so many good openings and either not finished the cross or ballsed the pass. But we look a massive threat.

If our quality goes up by 10% with the ball, we will win.

[HoylandOwl]

It's quite an open game isn't it. Either side will rightly think they can get all three points. But as KM says, if we step it up. We'll piss it.

I'd be hooking Valery and getting Pol on.

But if we're wank early in the 2nd half, as we often are...

[holmesfield_owl]

Get in Lowe!

[MAL]

Got the run of the ball now.

[HoylandOwl]

Finally a bit of luck. 

[Reesh]

Rob Staton loves to shit stir and focus on any negative 

[holmesfield_owl]

Great stuff Wednesday, keep going

[HoylandOwl]

What a fucking goal that was. Lovely all round.

This is what i was on about.

Gassama just did exactly the same foul as their guy did earlier in the game, in virtually the exact same position.

First one received nothing.

Gassama received a booking.

[holmesfield_owl]

Great result, I'll be back with the Stoke thread.

Upto 9th, 5 points off sixth, happy days

Yep. Mind you he's unblocked me on X out of the blue and unsolicited.  I feel so honoured. 

 

[HoylandOwl]

In the end a convincing win, Oxford are poor. So naive... But, ultimately our extra quality showed. AAAAND breathe.

[mkowl]

Definitely a game where Rohl just went we have better players than you let's play football. Suspect after a couple of chess matches at home it makes a degree of sense, but that could have backfired with the gilt edged chances we gave..

Comfortable win in the end so can't really complain

Well done today. What's your record for home games though  Who did the last home win?

If we had won that 4/5-1 Oxford wouldn't have have had no complaints.

I think Twitter has changed what blocking means, so you may still be blocked, but now you can see his bullshit.

Heartbroken if true.

[Owling_Wolf]

What a 2nd half that was! 'Total football.' Proper end to end stuff but proper sieges of theirs. Very enjoyable.

But if ever a goal snuffed out an opponent's challenge, our 3rd one did.  

Can we play all our games away, please?   🙏

[Harry Lime]

Marvellous, can't wait for DR's post match interview. As has been mentioned, Staton is cringeworthy, listened to DR's pre match press conference and Staton just trips over his ego alll the time trying to be clever and knowledgable whilst having the slight crafty dig. He was adamant our first was an OG but looked like Windass to me. Anyway, onwards and upwards.
