Official Match Thread Oxford v Southend United

At the game - pretty much outplayed now, although they have different rules here, if you hit the post that counts as a goal!

Bring on Neil Jenkins to sure up the midfield.


Come on Southend. Dig in. And come out in the second half!

Our midfield has been a constant thorn this season. Hope Sturrock has one or two people lined up on loan/permanent.

SUFC Twitter account said it was close, sounds like our luck for Corr's goal against Brentford has come back to bite us in the arse quickly!

Not a constant thorn, it was OK when we had 4 excellent ones. Sadly one has gone back, and tonight another is cup tied.

 

[Maroon Blue]

HT 1-2 does not look promising after such a bright start, over to you PS.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just thought, perhaps BBBC is playing tonight because he can be rested on Saturday when Britt returns?

I thought the team struggled to play a passing game when he went off on Saturday.

No central midfield, Woodyard is not good enough yet.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Think Martin needs to come on. Straker is not a left winger, plus from what Ive seen he is not a very good footballer.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Having only 3 of our last ten since the manager of the month winning November, this seems very similar to last year :stunned:

Never will be good enough.

 

[Baskerville194]

Blues to win 4-2

 

[bazzashrimper]

Time for 4-3-3. Take off straker and bring on.... Benyon. No, lets leave it as 4-4-2 for a while.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Never will be good enough.

He's a kid,give him a chance.I thought he played extremely well, until he tired in the second half on Saturday.

Orient down to 10, so this dream area final looking decidely unlikely. :sad:

Was thinking that myself.

We lost a game against Swindon last year and then had an inconsistent run up to March. After that big unbeaten run we got:

Dec: 6/12
Jan: 7/15
Feb: 7/18

Leyton Orient winning 1-0 with minute left. Please go through, want to play them badly.

Looking like an Oxford v Yeovil area final is most likely outcome now. That'll be a footballing classic.

.... and with that Orient score ....

Nope Borient score on 90 mins. Come on Blues!
