Official Match Thread Oxford United v Southend United

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Oh dear. Joke.

 

[Cricko]

Takes both new forwards off. WTF is that about?

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Timlin and Corr on for Piggott and Cassidy. Bizarre substitution and we seem to be settling for 2-2, if we're lucky! :angry:

 

[Shrimper]

2-2. Timlin and Corr on. Shutting up shop....

 

[spoons]

Corr and Timlin on, Timlin will muster the defence and Corr partners Pigott, we can win this. Oh no that would be too easy

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

WWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?????? Pigott and Cassidy replaced by Corr and Timlin....WTF!!! Hanging on for a point now???????

 

[Shrimper]

Brown happy to settle for another draw then. Play to win. Bored of negative tactics.

 

[tottenham541]

Negative subs, invite Oxford on now and looks like we want the draw, long time to just hang on:blush:

 

[Cricko]

Corr and Timlin on, Timlin will muster the defence and Corr partners Pigott, we can win this.

Who has been taken off. Total baffling and negative tactics by PB and they are on top now.

 

[sufclee]

That's great for the Pig, and for us. Gentlemen, we have a striker who can score a goal.

Can't be having that, get him off...........:nope:

 

[Shrimper]

Corr upfront on his own. Because that works...

Like clockwork CP says they're struggling to find Corr.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Somebody please explain to PB that you don't get 3 points for a DRAW :nope:

 

[CyrilSneer]

Can understand bringing off Cassidy for Timlin. Kept the two strikers on to get a goal back which has worked, and we would all settled for a point at half time. Would have left Pigott on though as he is going through defences like butter.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Take the two strikers off...............Phil obviously under shock from us scoring TWO goals ...........can't risk us scoring a third.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

What I mean, once Deegan got sent off at 1-1, it's lifted Oxford team and the fans up, knowing they could get something with an extra man.

So at 2-2, have we lost it still?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Barry Corr up front on his own again, yawn. Oh well, our only chance is a long shot.

 

[marlow17101032]

Brown just go please

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

I notice the 'likes option' has gone off...................perhaps there was an avalanche of them for out two substitutions?

 

[southendkid]

Most managers would take a point away with ten men, but I'm not convinced inviting pressure with a lone striker is the way to do it, I can understand not wanting to commit players forwards because with ten men we could easily concede on the break, but with Corr up on his own the ball is going to be in our half for most of the second half.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Burton and Newport both losing, Wycombe drawing... A win would close the gap.., if only
