Scum away on Saturday. Loss tonight means 3 pts this weekend  :)
Bring it on!

Hopefully Sheridan can come up with a plan whereby we nick a win. We've not looked up for fight against these away from home especially for a long time (have we ever even scored at the Kassam?) 90th minute Broadbent winner would be sensational.

No.  Our record at the Kassam is: P5 W0 D0 L5 F0 A8

Even though Oxford aren't exactly world beaters right now this is the most resigned I've felt going into a league game with them. Possibly ever (including 16/17).

It is what it is but if we do somehow manage get anything from the game it'll feel just incredible.

Everything is against us.  A fog of depressions surrounds the clubs.  The ownership in question, the management in question.  Injuries. Poor players.  Dreadful recent history in this game....

Wouldn't it be so Swindon to get a win.

If we don't have any players come back from injury, I can only see us being able to try to park the bus.

I suspect it will be another game like the Rovers one - Two teams devoid of quality trying not to get beat.

Will we go the whole game without gifting a goal or two? Doubt it.

Keep your bollocks covered saturday lads

In all honesty, be interesting to see if anything comes of this, this was in a melee at the end of the game. Preston had a player charged for the same thing and is looking at a possible ban

That's Matt Taylor, their striker by the looks of things. An immediate ban would be ideal!

Never understood why anyone has the mentality to grab another man's balls during a game, yes Gazza famously did it to V.Jones for shits and giggles, but I just can't get my head around why anyone would want to do what Taylor did?

I laughed when I first saw the Vinny Jones / Gazza pic (at about the age of 6) but I suspect the FA would take a dim view of this nowadays. He’ll likely get a ban but appeal to defer any suspension until after the weekend. He’s hardly Messi, so not bothered if he plays or not. There will be two very average sides playing each other on Saturday. Is it not also the case that the ref must have seen or reported the incident for it to lead to a ban?

It will be interesting to see if the match shows any characteristics of a Derby game.

In front of no crowd the players won’t feel much pressure. Doubt there will be any feisty challenges or general handbags, I suspect it will play out as if it’s any old game between 2 teams from different ends of the country

Can't see anything over than a convincing defeat against Blackbird Leys United however, stranger things have happened in football. Potentially having Tyler Smith back could give us a bit more of an edge up front, I've liked the look of him so far. No idea if we have anyone else coming back, we miss DJ massively. Caddis to score the winner and Kovar to save a pen  :D

Went to my first game at the Manor in 1988 a 1-1 draw with centre back Tim Parkin grabbing a late equaliser with a far post header sending the 2,500 or so Town fans into raptures literally 2 minutes after they took the lead.

https://youtu.be/aU7iT_6pBZ0

Couldn't get to all the games from then on and was lucky enough to have missed every defeat there over the years, in games I attended there I saw 2 draws and 4 wins, the last being when Turbo grabbed a brace in 2001 including a cracker from 25 yards and a fantastic volley. Oxford players lost their temper and had 2 sent off, a proper local derby.

https://youtu.be/Fv27jBwiu0Q

Have never been to a game in person at the 3 sided monstrosity.

They are on a slightly better run of form that we are with 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 5, we have 1 win and 2 draws in the last 5.

Our line up could be anyones guess depending on the fitness of any returnees, but I would expect we will probably be unchanged from Tuesday and play a similat line up barring any fresh inury worries.

I get that we're not great at the moment, but I am genuinely surprised at the level of negativity.

We've improved considerably over the last couple of games and Oxford ain't all that great either. A lot of people had us down as definitely getting a whooping from Bristol Rovers - look how that turned out.

I'll take a point - as I would with any away game, and I think a point is a very reasonable result to hope for.

Would be giddy with all 3.

I don't think we are as shit as many of our fans are saying at all either, with betterfinishing by Frenchie and one less mistake by Kovar we would have won on Tuesday, Oxford are are shit too and below us in the table, we have injured players returning too.

That said any away point is great and 3 would be easily doable if we play as we did in Tuesday but with a bit better finishing.

Logical me says we've got a good chance of getting something - they're as bad as we are, according to the table, and we've made massive progress in the last 2 weeks. A RW-esque surprise or two on the teamsheet wouldn't go amiss.

The bitter, burnt, experienced football fan in me knows we're going to get pumped.

They do say the table doesn't lie, but in Oxford's case its a little misleading due to games cancelled etc. I just had a look at their fixtures and out of their 12 league games they have only played 4 at home and have faced Pompey, Fleetwood, Posh, Charlton, Accrington and Lincoln all away which on paper are tough games.

Completely agree. Wouldn't imagine they're very confident of getting anything out of this either and with our newly resilient defence ;) I think we can get at least a point out of this, possibly sneak another derby day 1-0. I know, I'm getting proper carried away :)

To be honest I haven't really read back but I certainly think we have a good chance on Saturday. I think Sheridan will set us up to be solid and from what I've heard, Oxford have been as useless defensively as us.

I think a goalscoring draw seems most likely.

Would take a draw.
Maybe I see a different game to you.
We have no cutting edge up front and a keeper that looks like he will concede with anything that comes into the area. Just realistic and desperate not to lose this one.
Hoping to feel more confident at 2pm Saturday with 2 additional players that have passed fitness tests.
If however we go into the game with the same line up Tuesday I think we will get beat which trust me hurts like crazy and will force me into hiding for a week.
You never know with football, however my nerves by tomorrow will start to feel edgy.

The XG table has Oxford in 6th: https://experimental361.com/2020/11/25/expected-goals-table-league-1-24-nov-2020/

Which would suggest they are playing well but they must be either missing a bag of sitters or teams are scoring a lot of Scott Twine worldies against them

Edit: the table suggests its the latter. Based on the quality of the oppo's chances, they should have conceded 14 but have shipped 21

Incidentally the only team that has conceded even more than they should have done, than Oxford, is us. Which tallies given the two human sieves we have had in goal

Thats great news. Expect Tyler Smith to start down the middle, with DJ on the bench. Stevens pace down the right should be a threat and would start Payne on the left, s being ex Oxford should be well up for it. Otherwise same midfield and defence as per Tuesday. With J Grant, DJ and Hope on the bench at least we have some offensive options to bring on if needed.

Assuming no more defensive cock-ups, I think we have a good chance of a positive result, with 2 equally matched teams.

I've been to many matches against them going back to the mid 70's but some of the stories they tell are just bollocks
https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/swindon-stories.4591/

They've always been game for it but I laughed at that load of bollocks. They've been dreaming and think it actually happened by the looks of that drivel they've put on there. Absolute pig flying lies.

That's only changed in the early 70's if you look at footage from the 60's men used to be gentlemen wearing flat caps, shirt & ties and trousers to the games😁

Absolutely they are utter bollocks, its all about willy waving, they hardly ever brought any fans let alone caused that much trouble in the 70s.

The "yoof" are lapping it up because they believe it and have no idea about the truth, half can barely read anyway.

From what I can remember there was a time that a wall collapsed. Guess it was around 77 or 78? There was trouble in their bit of Shrivvie Rd but there weren't many there. Always thought a few extra coppers would have sorted out most bother most of the time. I recall Pompey and Millwall being the games where there was trouble before, during and probably after? I was quite young then and would watch from B block with my Gramp but don't recall Pox hiding their scarves and going in the Town End. Memory is that Pompey definitely did followed by the parting of the fans and the fights starting. Long time ago. Old men telling very tall stories to impressionable boys is quite sad and dubious.

Spurs fans did, according to an older mate of mine. He said there was a huge guy in pyjamas and DM's who finally got nicked by about 6 coppers. Oxford? Not in any match I've attended. Luton boys took the London Road end though.

1989, we beat the scummers 3-0 at home. Never heard them, never saw them outside the ground. The game at home when Beauchump returned, they probably only scraped a measly thousand. Early 90s at the minnow ground, 1-0 Steve White in front of the London Road. Apart from a few shouting behind the police at the end of Cuckoo lane it was quite a peaceful day.

I can remember the same as you and it was always Pompey and Bristol City who were in the Townend in the late 70's early 80's and in those days Oxford never packed out the enclosure & Stratton bank and there was one occasion over Easter when they were fighting with police but only in their own end

I haven't read the drivel but something similar happened to what you describe, only thing is it was at their ground. About 30 of them came in the away end an hour before kick off. Who they threw punches at were the programme collectors, old men and kids. My mate at his first game picked up a broken jaw, nice surprise for his mum and dad as he was only 14.

It's not going to go well, we're going to need to score 2-3 to get any kind of result I feel.

Could John Sheridan be the first manager to record a win over Oxford since Andy King? I highly doubt it, but you never know.

Having DJ and Tyler Smith back is significant.  I think we'll give them a game.  But word will have got around by now that our keepers are prone to errors...which can only encourage other sides to have a go.  This lot certainly will, and it will make for nervy viewing.  I'm not decided whether I want to watch it either.

Steve Robinson definitely had a cameo in one of my dreams last night.

I don't think your the only one feeling this.

But for some reason today I have 0 expectation. Given our recent record I almost expect us to lose, which is rediculous because of course we have a chance.

Having lived In their territory all my life, they dream of these stories.
I even know hardcore Pox fans and they never recount the tales. Yes the gates did get broken at Swindon when Rideout put the ball in through the smoke but they never went on a rampage that they claim. Our car was in the CG carpark and never saw any bother.
Seen the odd pavement dancing and bravado but whilst the hatred is intense, worse games for trouble against the bigger clubs, Millwall, Pompey, Bristol City and Cardiff.

Just adds to why I detest them, they are deluded and the fact that they have had the upper hand in recent years with results depresses me.

Going to the pub this morning and ordering the beans on toast plus 4 or 5 pints to wash it down with probably isn’t going to work.
Will have to utilise the latest delivery from Lilley’s splendid online shop to settle the pre match nerves instead.
A couple of bottles of Gladiator should do the trick.

Watching Town play on 2nd round FA Cup day will be a novel experience.

I remember the Steve Robinson close range volley to seal the win in 2001.
Most of the loose change went flying out of the jacket pocket during the course of the celebration.

The point has been well made that it’s the fans that make derby games what they are, which is true.
However, the players should still be aware that this game does mean a bit more to the fans even though we can’t be there.
The team has the opportunity (or should that be responsibility) to cheer a fair few people up over this weekend which is important.
Go on, you can do it. Make us happy.

Fucking spot on.

The Pox millennials need to understand that prior to their winning run against us the win ratio was 24 to us and a measly 9 to them.
Absolutely this. They never came to the CG and gave us a good game and we always had a good game there except for the 5-0 defeat in 82 our relegation season.

In 60 games Town have won 23 and Pox only 16 with 21 draws, we have scored 82 and conceded 66.

It took them 8 attempts to beat us in any competition, and 13 attempts in the league to register their first win against us.

In the first 27 meeting between Town and Pox they won just 2 times right up until 1982, it then took then another 11 games to get another win in 1996.

In recent years in away games we have had less luck with just 3 wins from the last 13 games played up there in the wild dirty North, with 10 ending in defeats.

Prior to 1996 Pox had only won 4 games with Swindon won 6 with the other 12 ending as draws.

I would welcome a draw but they are not one of the better sides and easily beatable without defensive/goalkeeping slip ups, cut those out and we won't lose.

I watched Oxford a couple of times last season during the play-offs and Gorrin was very lucky to not be sent off in both games. With A.Grant, Caddis and Matt Smith in our midfield I can see Gorrin seeing red today.

He has 3 yellows so far this season, I am sure Caddis and Grant will wind him up to the max today, not a game for a player with a short fuse.

Wouldn't bother going today Bob, that rule doesn't come into affect until the 2nd of December, like you absolutely love the Gladiator though the last 5L I bought was as murky mud on the last pint, when I commented on it the next time the guy serving said 'yeah, it's always like that ' he didn't give a shit, so for me it was straight back onto the dark cider.

Nice and positive on here then. If Broadbent isn’t starting, it’ll be for good reason. Grounds started ok and has dropped away, but let’s give him a chance to step back up. The good news, is that for the first time in a while we have some pace and movement up top, we’ve got some solidity by playing three centre mids (assuming that’s where Caddis is playing) and we’ve got an on form Donohue able to bomb on. COYR.

Part of me doesn’t want to be harsh on Kovar because that seems the in thing but on the flip side the ball has hit him. I’m not a keeper so maybe harsh to suggest if he’s got to it he should stop it.

Decent run from Taylor in between the two cents halves to be fair.

Sometimes the criticism is justified though, the ball hit Kovar on his back and he didn't spread his body big to block it.

Good finish but I do think someone like Benda wouldnt have gone down so early and stayed a bit target for the attacker rather than diving early for the ball.

I understand what you mean but for me Broadbent is a natural CB whereas Odimayo is more of a natural right back and he always looks more comfortable there than at CB although he is more than capable of playing there.

Just my personal opinion though.

Agree completely. A year ago if you’d have been asked “who is a better player, Hunt or Broadbent?” it would be Hunt all day long.

Nothing’s changed and would be good to see Hunt get his form back at RB rather than filling in at LB which he has had to do a lot of

He’d be fine in a proper midfield 3 which is what we need to play but we only have 2 fit centre Mids so he’s completely overloaded both in matches and the number of minutes he has to play.

By that reasoning there’s even less reasoning for playing Broadbent then as he was even good enough to play regularly in league 2, so it still makes the Hunt sub logical.

Surely you judge a player on current season form and not historical form...from a division below? Rob Hunt currently hasn't cut the mustard for us at L1 this term so far. Broadbent when given an opportunity has done well. For a first start in a while, you have to agree he was pretty solid and we can only go on what we have seen this season so far.

We all know Broadbent had personal issues to deal with and seemingly with a manager who decided he had no route back into the squad. It's a bit harsh to say TB wasn't good enough to play in L2 when his manager was refusing to pick him most the time anyway.

Pretty obvious some players don't get picked just because a manager can't shift a grudge. Wellens clearly was a petty little cunt. Seemingly learning from his Master...Sheridan.

We have a few routes to goal, particularly down the flanks on the counter. We could get back into this but it'll have to be a smash and grab, Oxford look quite a lot better than us in the middle of the park and in general play. Hoping a returning Jaiyesemi will increase those issues down the wings before too long.

Not a bad performance bar the stupid goal, the massive let off and the injuries. They've just about edged it, certainly in terms of chances.

Biggest difference between the sides; when it breaks down off of Taylor, they have two or three attackers backing up the play, running on to the ball and creating ahead of our holding midfielders. When it breaks down for us, there is acres of space between the midfield and Tyler.

Still, they're there to be got at. As are we. Both defensives are dismal and both keepers dodgy. Game very much still on.

On the Broadbent/Hunt debate... Two very left footed CBs is never a good idea.

You can say that about a lot of our team including Broadbent.  How many games has he played for us at RB in L1?



Well this season he was still under the charge of "little man syndrome" and "I always hold a grudge me" Wellens. The point being, when TB has finally taken his chance this season, he's played well. Not saying he is the new Maldini or Cannavaro but he has done well so far this season. Whereas Rob Hunt has not so far this season. That's all we can go on.


Title: Re: Poxford v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread
Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, November 28, 2020, 15:57:12
Hmmmm.
I think we need to tighten in midfield in the second half. Think I would take off Caddis, who is not having a good game. Replace him with Broadbent. Push Odimayo back to RB and Hunt to LB. Then move Donahue to LW. Payne drops in behind T Smith and M Smith drops back into a midfield pairing with Grant.

Or, DJ comes on instead of Caddis to Play on the left and Payne drops into midfield.

For once can’t you just reply with one sentence? Hunt was the logical change and allows the left foot right foot centre back combination. Broadbent is 28 with 50 league appearances and has spent the majority of the last 2 season injured or out with other issues whereas Hunt has played regularly and is pretty reliable.

Red Frog isn't going to like me......

We are a broken team, playing under broken leadership and in a broken season.

You cannot do much as a team when two centre backs stand and watch a forward just move into 5 yards of space inbetween them.  He's in a yellow shirt, so not exactly hiding.  The mental side of our platers is shot to pieces and no amount of coaching is going to fix it this season I'm afraid.  Once you have that problem, you really are up against it to do anything much good.   You can't win enough games when you have 4 or 5 of those instances in a single half every game, and it is pretty much every game.

Odimayo gets plaudits but he could be personally responsible for us conceding two goals today already.  Same problem, no focus, switched off at a free kick when Taylor is walking away, switched off on ball round the side and let Taylor drift behind him easily.

In midfield we are broken thanks to Wellens.  Two central midfielders for a season is clearly an issue.  Grant and Caddis both look like they'd struggle to muster a working leg between them right now.  Caddis' lack of either fitness, or just getting on a bit is now exposed alongside Grant who seems to be a similar situation.  

Stevens - what the fuck were we sold with this lad?  I'm sorry, it's almost like watching Dean Hooper make his debut all those years ago.   If someone could just put his legs on A Grant.  He has very little future in the game as far as I can see - pace can only keep you going for so long in the game before you actually need to be able to play football.  Some may say that is harsh, but he looks the same in every game pretty much.  At least with J Smith you can see some ability and you think you can work on decision making.

Injuries - last seasons gamble has not paid of this season because of the unique situation.  This bizarre mind fuck of a season needed players who could player two times a week, graft games out.

Overall, we could still snatch something from this, but it's not fun watching because of all those issues above.  I'm worried for us this season now, I thought the ability we had would see us through and the empty stands would help us by taking the pressure off from fans wanting us to quit the passing game.  Turns out it's created a mental weakness in our team and in turn we've had to resort to abandoning everything that made us good last season anyway.  Sad times.  Still, the world has bigger problems to worry about, so I find myself not that fussed outside of watching the game itself.

On the plus side, um, fuck, this is usually my forte.........

Surely you play your "best" (loose term at present) team available and going on the previous match, although we lost, that squad was fairly solid for 95.5 out of 96 mins. Broadbent must feel like he's been dealt two of the worse blokes at employee management in a row.

Because there are more right footed CBs many of them grew up playing left side. JT for example. Left sided CBs tend to only ever play LCB and be more lopsided. They're also in massive demand at the top of the game, hence why I'm bullying my 2yo nephew to be one.

Injuries - last seasons gamble has not paid of this season because of the unique situation.  This bizarre mind fuck of a season needed players who could player two times a week, graft games out.

Overall, we could still snatch something from this, but it's not fun watching because of all those issues above.  I'm worried for us this season now, I thought the ability we had would see us through and the empty stands would help us by taking the pressure off from fans wanting us to quit the passing game.  Turns out it's created a mental weakness in our team and in turn we've had to resort to abandoning everything that made us good last season anyway.  Sad times.  Still, the world has bigger problems to worry about, so I find myself not that fussed outside of watching the game itself.

On the plus side, um, fuck, this is usually my forte.........

I havent got the patience to sum up everything typing on my iPhone. If I did I'd have said this, but less eloquently.

For once can’t you just reply with one sentence? Broadbent is 28 with 50 league appearances and has spent the majority of the last 2 season injured or out with other issues whereas Hunt has played regularly and is pretty reliable.

Oh fuck off. In L2 yes Rob Hunt was good. LAST FCUKING SEASON. Fuck me, if I get employee of the year in 2019 does that mean I'm entitled to it in 2020? Based of what I did last year? Especially when stepping up a level and that area of work is more competitive and challenging? Another guy comes along and does well. But we bin him off because it's jobs for the boys and like, ya know this other guy was employee of the year last year so it makes logical sense doesn't it. You know, to not treat your employees equally or fairly.

I'll write more sentences just to piss you off if you bring it up. Cunt.

Broadbent has played 95 minutes in the league, not exactly enough to base a conclusion on that he’s good enough to play regularly this season and the managers actually see the players train! Grounds started off well and progressively got worst, any he’s on now and up front!

I'll ask again, how many games has Rob Hunt played in his preferred postion in league 1 this season?

I'll remind you again, Tom Broadbent was still under the charge of a manager who refused to play him, regardless of available option. It seems he might have another of a similar ilk.

Rob Hunt is a utility full back capable of playing LB or RB. When he has played, has has played in either of these positions. The same could be said for the likes of Caddis (usually).  They personally both may be prefer to play at RB but where you prefer to play isn't always the main factor in a squad game. At L2 both players are capable of playing LB or RB. Caddis could probably do both at L1 and has done previously but we're talking this season with an older player now. Rob Hunt, currently can't play either his "preferred position" or on the other side at L1 level.

Why the manager has fucked around with the team (bar injuries) from the previous match, I don't know. Especially in defence where some kind of continuity is key. I think, even if we disagree on the ability of Rob Hunt at this level, Grounds should not have started.

I understand your point of view bamboo, and calm down by the way. 

What I will say is that you are contradicting your own point.  You are saying that Broadbent deserves to be playing and must have pissed off the entire management teams based on next to no appearances in a team full of confidence and quality last season and 1.5 half decent performances this season. 

Whereas Rob Hunt should be binned after a very strong consistent season last year and 5 or 6 dodgey injury impacted performances, in a team lacking of confidence and quality, with poor Gk's behind him and inconsistent CB's beside him, not in his favoured position this season?  That doesn't add up - talk about stacking the cards against Rob Hunt and giving Broadbent the opportunity improve on a bar that, this season, has so far been set so low it's almost unbelievable.

That is all

We’ve been going more direct in the last few games. I’ve no issue with that when you have someone up top, or on the wing who can win the ball in the air, which we don’t. Maybe Broadbent is the answer...

I don't think he refused to play him last season, he was just 4th choice CB when he was fit and available.  This season, maybe.

I don't think you can accuse Sheridan of treating him unfairly when he has played him for more minutes in his few games in charge than Wellens did for the past season and a half.

I'll give you that Broadbent should have started instead of Grounds.  You can't have your other point though.  I'd not trust either of them to play RCB.  Far too risky based on the available evidence.

So if Broadbent doesn't score today then he should be dropped next match, given he is playing up front and compared to your Rob Hunt view on favoured position?

And for all we know Broadbent has been poor in training and doesn’t deserve to start. We’re all guessing, just like the nonsense you spouted when you claimed he had PTSD, but he’s down the pecking order under 2 managers so there is clearly a reason.

Now you can actually fuck off. Seriously mate. I'm sure you'll have a happier life.

I'm saying what the fuck has Broadbent got to do to get in the team? Play up front and score. Stop being more of a cunt than I please.

Lolz fuck you. Broadbent has played well every time he has played now, regardless of preferred position and so on. The bloke can't really do much more. Score in the A420 Derby. He can fuck my mrs...if I had one. He'll have to settle for knobbing Sheridan's dog instead  ;)

Couldn't have won it in a better manner - after the shite we've put up with from keepers and defenders this season, Kovar being MOTM (Big Tom will get it, but you know what I mean) and their keeper doing that is glorious.

Sheridan:
- Broadbent wasnt a plan. It was only when we were chasing game
- Lack of physical presence. Ball was coming back to easily to us
- Broadbent unlucky not to play today. He's part of a team
- He's come on with Payne and they've influenced the game
- Proud of the players
- Understands the derby game
- Started brightly. Disappointed to concede.
- More injuries. Character of players absolutely brilliant
- Joked that he told Broadbent to come short and use his football brain! :-) No, he just said 'make a nuisance of yourself'!
- Message to players at 1/2 time was believe we are still in the game
- Gave ball away cheaply in 1st half.
- Second half we passed it and got on the ball. Could have created a couple more chances
- Tyler has made it uncomfortable for the keeper. Not sure he got a touch
- 4/5 performances so far have been good
- Difficulty is the number of injuries we are picking up
- Will need the character more than flair for the rest of the season
- Put balls in dangerous areas
- May need to do more unorthodox things because of lack of options/injuries
- Best team in L2 passing and scoring goals. But you get punished more in L1
- If switched on when in possession then we will be harder to score against
- Make more errors when we are in possession
- We want to stay in this league
- First Oxford derby. Know the importance. Shame fans didnt see
- Dont care if fans take to him or not. Hes here to win games
- Winning against Oxford and Bristol will help
- Massive win today
- We need to do better at home
- Away you need to fight
- Home or away we need to pick up points to get away from the bottom 4
- Will have to assess Baudry and Grant
- Dont know why we are picking up so many injuries
- DJ coming back early. Didnt want to but had to use him
- Kovar: Hes gonna be a good keeper. But hes going to make mistakes. He's not used to balls coming in from the corner
- If Sheridan thinks he should save them he will tell him! But can see he will be a top keeper.

Take a fucking bow Tom Broadbent - that performance will be forever remembered by Town fans as one of the great Derby performances. I loved his goal, loved his assist and I fucking loved that thunderous tackle he put in right at the end! Legendary status achieved in one 30 minute cameo as a makeshift striker. Special mention to Kovar as well, he made a couple of decent stops in that first half and it’s nice to be highlighting how shit the keeper is at the other end for a change. Get the fuck in, let’s all go down the pub and get pissed!!! Oh...fuck.

I hope he doesn’t get one minutes sleep tonight.
I hope his Twitter account melts down.......Take a bow and when we get back to normality that lad will realise that he will go down in the vaults of “remember when.....” player fame.

We'll win...1-2

I don't  know PP. Surely you could say the same for having two predominantly right footed CBs. Don't see how the two left footed is not good element stands up in that case? Ideally you want one of each but I don't think it is a bad idea having two lefties as much as it is two righties (football not politics).

Surely you play your "best" (loose term at present) team available and going on the previous match, although we lost, that squad was fairly solid for 95.5 out of 96 mins. Broadbent must feel like he's been dealt two of the worse blokes at employee management in a row.

- Never played up top with him before.
- Bit isolated up top.
- Needed to stay focused and thought he'd get a chance
- A derby is a derby. Would be better with fans.
- Massive to get 3 points
- Not best game to watch. Stuck at it and ground out a result

End the fucking season because it ain't getting better than that. Simply an incredible 5 minutes that went our way. I had a feeling they'd regret that Taylor miss but not to that extent. To turn it around there, time running out, with a patchwork quilt of a side is simply remarkable.

Kids were terrified. Dog thought someone was breaking in to the house. I am now completely drained.

An incredible day to be a fan of this great club. Straight into my top moments following the mighty Swindon. Up there with Flint's play off goal at Brentford and Danny Ward/the shootout at Charlton. Sometimes it's not too bad watching on the tele.

As toothless as we looked for the first hour, I'd be fucking mortified if was a fan of the dark side watching that second half. A simple switch had them scrambling and wasting time almost instantly. They literally stopped even trying to play football.

OUFC - Back in their box and back in our shadow. 1 in a row you cunts.

Kovar 6/10: Couple of good saves, that I don’t think he has done before. Looked a little be quicker to react today. Started to look a little more like a L1 keeper, but, not outstanding. Think he could have done better for the goal.
Odimayo 6/10: Flexibility was good. Played RB and CB well apart from one moment.
Baudry 6/10: Was playing well when he went off injured
Grounds 6/10: Solid. Apart from watching Taylor run through to score
Caddis 5/10: Didn’t influence the game in midfield – Except losing the ball for their goal
Donahue 7/10: Couple of lovely cross field passes. Didn’t get forward as much as in previous games
Hunt 7/10: Thought he played well. Defended solidly
A Grant 5/10: Slow. Linked well with DJ when he came on
J Grant 6/10: Couple of good runs and crosses. But, didn’t find anyone with them.
M Smith 6/10: Couple of nice passes. Needed someone to play with in midfield. Got in position for a couple of shots, but only 1 was a useful effort.
J Stevens 5/10: Roasted their LB with his pace. But doesn’t look up. Could have put through both M Smith and T Smith to score on 2 occasions. Also, I’ve never seen someone skew a shot as badly! Just not good enough
T Smith 6.5/10: Tried hard. Isolated most of the time. Looked a different player when he had support.
Payne: 7/10: Made a nuisance of himself. Helped change the game
DJ 7/10: Bit wasteful, but physical presence up front scared them
Broadbent 9/10: Turned the game almost on his own. Made a nuisance of himself, scored the first and made the second. Didn’t put a foot wrong.

No passion or fight, come on this is Swindon ffs.

This is an absolute disgrace. Disgrace.
Simon Eastwood has been a liability for months. But Robinson couldn’t see it.
Josh Ruffels has been a liability for months. But Robinson couldn’t see it.
Shodipo can’t play football. But Robinson can’t see it.
I’m disgusted and ashamed of this second half performance. Robinson has lost us this game. Pathetic

Wheres the f*****g pride

Robinson has to go I'm sick to death of him

Unfortunately it was coming

I wish I hadn't seen that. Night folks

I feel sick with rage at that second half performance. Shambolic and gutless.

Can someone count the number of fingers on this scum fan ref?

Think that's the last straw. Robinson out.

Well we fucked that right up....
Just about sums up where we are as a team this season.

Talk about two half’s

What a f*****g disgrace. Should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely gifted them the win.

Disgrace

I don’t know how to feel I never experienced us losing to the scum im Lost for words

how the f**k do you lose to s**t C***s like that?

2020 just topped itself.

Utterly, utterly shameful.

f*****g shambles.
Spineless
Unintelligent
Incoherent

Swindon trolls incoming. Peace out.

For 20 years we have always fought, in every game against this lot.
kr needs to go, if that's what he calls understanding what this game means to the fans, F*ck off the defence. Total and complete utter sh*te

That better be the last game Eastwood ever plays for this football club. Joke player now.

that has to be the worst swindon side ive ever f*****g seen.any other oxford team wouldve beaten them by loads and yet we f*****g lose to that.

One of the worst second half performances I’ve ever seen from us.

If I had a cat I’d be kicking it right now. Angry is not a strong enough word. Fuming even. 2020 is a f**kin s**t year that can ffing do one as well. Can’t even go out and get pissed. We totally bottled it. Feel so down at the moment.

My f*****g word ... Swindon did not win that, we lost it.

Swindon are a nothing side. They'll finish nowhere, possibly down the bottom somewhere. Losing to a side as crap as that is embarrassing.

Shows the importance of good subs, scums subs turned them around, ours self destructed

That was genuinely the worst Swindon side I've seen us play against.

What a f*****g shambles that Second half was. The subs? Shocking. Eastwood? FFS, If he doesn't get dropped now I dont know what he has to do to to get a place on the bench. f*****g fuming

The players have got some way to go to make up for that second half shambles! Us fans won't forget that in a hurry.

Sickening we should of won it by halftime.
But the second half performance was dreadful, defending was schoolboy stuff.

Awful. Swindon are absolutely dire. We well and truly f*cked that right up. Total domination for 55 minutes and then for whatever reason just stopped playing and tried to shut up shop. That's not the way to do it against teams with a leaky defence, you need to go for the jugular.
In all honesty, Swindon's injuries did them a favour and having to make the subs forced them to change the way they played.

We gave away free kick after free kick in the second half against a really poor Swindon.

I have no idea how we chucked that away against easily the worst side we've played this year.

Today’s game is just embarrassing. A game we should have won.

This is the most disappointed I’ve felt about our team for years yeah I was pissed off in the p.o.f defeat but today I could honestly say in my heart or hearts that those lot who put that yellow shirt on today if they all left tomorrow I wouldn’t give a s**t none of them in that second half deserve to play on Tuesday wankers the lot of them

How can we lose to the worst Swindon side in years after they have 2 injuries in the first half and playing a CB up front?

Swindon were technically the poorest side we have played but deservedly ( probably ) won the game
because we collapsed mentally and they had nothing to lose in the second half. They won every second
ball and the fouls we committed were just racking up. We just simply beat ourselves by conceding two of the
worst goals you‘ve ever seen.

That second half was just not good enough. Dreadful, dreadful football that showed us time wasting at home from the 70th minute.
Swindown were absolutely shite.

It looked like Swindon wanted it more in the last 20 and thats not acceptable.
Sheridan fired them up and made them think they could win.

This was Swindon fgs. A L2 team at best. Not happy. We let a CB with PTSD score and get an assist against us! They have a keeper with hands made of wool. We made them look like Fleetwood Town.

The main positive is that we weren’t there to witness it with the scum pissing themselves laughing at us.
Worst team ever......apparently, so what does that make them? :D :D  :D  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

We need your sound assessment and judgement. This is the perfect kind of season for you. Shame it is mostly online.

Result the most important thing today.
After a bright start when Stevens should have scored, I thought we struggled first half. Poor goal conceded again - this time Caddis giving the ball away, a quick through ball leaving a proven goal scorer like Taylor 1 on 1.
The Taylor miss just before half time was crucial in the end.
Kovar had his best game so far - 4 good saves (including the point blank header second half.
Oxford lost the plot after Broadbent came on - a rudimentary tactic but it worked, and nice to see us profit when their goalie had a rush of blood with the winner.
Also a pleasant change to see a referee deal with their time wasting at 1-0.
A good comeback win. The only cloud is two more injuries today - DJ and Tyler back, two more off injured before half time.

I had no expectations for today, and wasn’t even planning to watch - but a change of plans meant I could. At half time I wished I hadn’t spent a tenner. But whilst we were rubbish in the first half, they were in the 2nd, and what we did that we haven’t been is somehow keep it at 1-0 and stayed in the game. Too often this year we’ve let a 2nd and 3rd in and games have petered out. If Sheridan can make us more solid - which he is - when Lyden, Fryers and co are we back then we’ll pick up. Credit where it’s due today. At half time, I didn’t think we knew how to change the game.

And whilst their lot may blame Eastwood, Taylor missed an absolute sitter, that I’m sure any lower league man mountain centre back could have buried.

End the fucking season because it ain't getting better than that. Simply an incredible 5 minutes that went our way. I had a feeling they'd regret that Taylor miss but not to that extent. To turn it around there, time running out, with a patchwork quilt of a side is simply remarkable.

Kids were terrified. Dog thought someone was breaking in to the house. I am now completely drained.

An incredible day to be a fan of this great club. Straight into my top moments following the mighty Swindon. Up there with Flint's play off goal at Brentford and Danny Ward/the shootout at Charlton. Sometimes it's not too bad watching on the tele.

As toothless as we looked for the first hour, I'd be fucking mortified if was a fan of the dark side watching that second half. A simple switch had them scrambling and wasting time almost instantly. They literally stopped even trying to play football.

OUFC - Back in their box and back in our shadow. 1 in a row you cunts.

Clearly someone who gets it.

Banbury's hardly their 'territory', is it?  You're half way to Coventry.  Fanbases don't follow county lines.  West & SW Oxfordshire is more Swindon than Oxford, and South Wiltshire is probably Southampton.  Are there really that many Oxford fans round your way?

Or watching them get relegated from the League on the last game of the season, having not been in the relegation zone until that last game, losing to a team managed by Martin Ling and 2 of the goals being scored by ex-Town players.

Came home from work when we were losing 1-0 (having been half watching on my phone at work). Had the match on the tv via HDMI cable when I got home and was screaming celebrations with each goal. Absolutely delighted. That win means a lot. Kovar played well - made a couple of good saves. So pleased for Broadbent. He is turning into a Flint style CB with goals in his locker. That’s the first time I have known us beat Oxford apart from in the joke trophy since I have been supporting Swindon. The beer tonight will taste sweet like the victory. Such a crucial win too given the league position. Well done Town, well done Smith, Broadbent and Sheridan!

My 12 year old discovered that we could just get a signal for BBC Radio Oxford while we were waiting for the wife & youngest in our local Sainsbury's car park.  BBC Radio Wiltshire, sadly, just out of range here (Hampshire/Surrey borders).  But it transformed our afternoon.  The chaps on their comms basically lost the power of speech after the winning goal.  Crap radio for the locals, I'd imagine.  But highly entertaining for us.

To be fair to them, once they came round again, they gave credit where it was due for the turnaround.  Like us, they recognised that we were nowhere at HT.  But that tactically, the Hunt & Broadbent substitutions made a difference.

Let's all just calm down a bit here. Yes the subs were the wrong decision, yes our 2nd half performance was poor, yes Easty made a calamitous mistake.

Does Karl have the right minerals to drive our club forward? Wholeheartedly yes. Do we have a board that's head and shoulders above most others in the EFL? Definitely yes. Are we as fans going to stand behind our club and not slag them off because we lost one massive game? Surely we are. Swindon will almost certainly get relegated this season, we will finish mid table or better.

Surely it would be cold leaving it that long! Years ago old fashioned tea leaves brewed in a pot and poured through a strainer was the best I ever had😁

You use fresh boiled water. The mash is a more concentrated ratio of leaves to water not a full pot like for a normal brew of black tea blends. Think like the same concentration as ground coffee looks when it has gone through the barista machine.

Grounds solid, Kovar made crucial saves, Matt Smith class again (but not faultless) Donohue decent once more Tyler Smith absolutely tireless, subs made the difference - Tom Broadbent need I say more?

Grant/Caddis combo was a real concern, not enough legs between them it seemed. Is it age or fatigue?
First 15 we were playing decent balls to the pacey players but after that it was just aimless long balls.

Two poor sides but who fucking cares.

Tuned in at 5 past 3 as nearly gave it a miss after seeing Grounds straight back in. Are they all blind?

I get that we're not great at the moment, but I am genuinely surprised at the level of negativity.

We've improved considerably over the last couple of games and Oxford ain't all that great either. A lot of people had us down as definitely getting a whooping from Bristol Rovers - look how that turned out.

I'll take a point - as I would with any away game, and I think a point is a very reasonable result to hope for.

Would be giddy with all 3.

Couldn't watch it yesterday or listen to it. Loads of players out and fearing the worst. My 20 year old son was watching. Walked the dogs during the first half, came in and we were 1 -0 down. FFS ! Then with 5 minutes to go he screamed the house down, get in there. Come on Swindon, yes i thought 1-1, let's hold out till the end. Then 5 minutes later the noise was even louder, fucking hell, we've scored again. Come on lads we can win this. Still couldn't listen, pacing around the house waiting for the final whistle. Yes get in there we've fucking beaten those bastards down the A420. Did i enjoy last night !

Watching the highlights on sky, atmosphere seems much better there with fake crowd noise... albeit just a pity that Smith didn't have a stand to jump in after he scored (still not convinced he even touch it though).

One thing though, can we get off the false moral high ground.

Whatever many might be claiming if they were releasing mugs and tea shirts after that this forum would be rightly full of tin pot comments likewise there would have been many losing their shit on the coronavirus thread last night if they had videos of fans outside their ground celebrating.

But hey ho, things feel much better than they did at 4.45 yesterday afternoon...

Fucking why not!

To be fair the bench today looks stronger.
Stronger than the 11!,😊
Turns out it was!

I like Broadbent, but I fail to see how all of a sudden he has turned into the Messiah after 1.5 games.  Bringing one of our most consistent players on from the past 1.5 seasons makes perfect sense to me.
Well turns out he really WAS the Messiah! ;)

Good lord that was a poor miss from Taylor. Bullet dodged.
Please be the turning point
It really was!

We have a few promising routes to score here, I fancy us to break the "not scoring at the Kassam" curse at least.
We did!

Still, they're there to be got at. As are we. Both defensives are dismal and both keepers dodgy. Game very much still on.

Not out of it.
Next goal will decide our fate. Score we could get a point.
Or 3!

Still holding out hope for a result today, they aren't anything special. Would like DJ on early in 2nd half if nothings changed if he's fit enough.

We'll win...1-2

Eastwood has an absolute horror clearance and Oxford get away with it. The kind of thing we've been punished for every time this season. Luck owes us a bit...
Your wish is my command......

As for Pox, Eastwood is a poor keeper, similar in quality to Kovar and we can punish him if we get some shots on target...

Broadbent on up front? ok then.
What do I know? obviously nothing.

Broadbent CF.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
And RF too :)

Well there is no doubt Broadbent is decent in the air and will cause problems in their box, unsual though, might work.
And he sure did!

In fairness - I can certainly see the logic in it.
So did Shez!

Fuck me, their keeper seems equal to Kovar.
Just wait a few more minutes....

We’ve been going more direct in the last few games. I’ve no issue with that when you have someone up top, or on the wing who can win the ball in the air, which we don’t. Maybe Broadbent is the answer...
Well wha da ya know? he was!

Yellow for the Pox clownkeeper.
Clown you say? :)

The Pox are fucking shit, yet we are not punishing them.
yes they are, oh and wait a few more minutes....

I would welcome a draw but they are not one of the better sides and easily beatable without defensive/goalkeeping slip ups, cut those out and we won't lose.
Yep.

Exactly what's needed! A dogged no thrills all round team performance which reaped its rewards right at the end and which will be needed away at Crewe on Tuesday. Also the defence or goalkeeper wasn't at fault for their goal it was down to a poor pass in midfield from Caddis

Possibly plus - it’s added revenue in a time when the football club had lost a huge chunk of its revenue. Desperate time’s do sometimes call for desperate measures.

Exactly this.

On that basis, I'll buy a mug for my Oxford supporting mate. :)

So, let’s get this right. We’ve got 6 first team players out injured, another 2 injured in the last game v Lincoln, 2 more in the first half v piss stains and we still won.

Have I got that right?

Not a great game but a heck of a result. As someone mentioned previously, aside from humiliating them by a cricket score, a win from behind in the last 5 minutes is about as good as it gets. Especially when the catalyst is a cult bit part player played out of position.

Funny I was musing to myself how I thought sticking odimayo in the CF role in the last 20 against Lincoln would be worth a go. He’s got the height, strength and pace to be a real nuisance up top, coupled with being decent with the ball. Can’t say I was expecting Broadbent to be running from the touch line to the wrong end of the pitch though.

Interesting thing to me about that move, is that I can imagine more jobbing/aspirational top level managers (I.e Wellens) not wanting to stick a Broadbent type up top (even though it was clear for everyone to see that having a front 4 with an average height of about 4’11” was hampering us) for fear of it not working and them looking clueless and desperate. No disrespect to Sheridan meant, but he’s not in that position and is clearly headstrong enough (although it appears there’s a downside to that also from previous accounts of falling out with other clubs/players) that he can think “fuck it” and go for a completely cavalier tactic that has a decent basis in logic for the situation, but so often doesn’t come off. Chapeau, I say.

Oxford commentary on the link below. A bit of build up so fast forward for the calamity goal.  

https://streamable.com/dw1o4l

I think the ball shaves Tyler Smith's knee kand I mean shave. But it's enough to flatten the angle slightly which subsequently pushed the ball through the keeper's legs. When you look at the angle the ball is coming down at beforehand from Broadbeans header, It's too steep. Keeper would be playing leapfrog. In isolation TBs header alone would not have made it to the goal with no one there.

Tyler's "knee skim" creates a flume, it adds extra spin to the ball and that momentum takes the ball goalward. I really want to give to to TB though  :)

Dont think they'll go down but Robinson has a habit of getting stroppy.

Tore into his subs and was initially quiet on the keeper until I watched a different interview on quest and he was pretty scathing of him. That will be taken one way or the other in the dressing room. Hopefully negatively!

They play Ipswich and Hull in the next 6 days which is tough.

OK bear with me for a minute. I might start Broadbent up front with Tyler on Tuesday. Smith is far too isolated without a big man bringing the ball down, and Tom has shown more in 30 minutes than Pitman has in 10 games. Plus, Tom is actually a bit of a footballer for a big bloke. Can pick a pass and has a great tackle on him. And he won’t have a confidence issue.

Given our defensive fragility, having a better out for long balls might suit our game right now. It’s not like we’re spoilt for choice at the moment.

Is this ridiculous? What do you think?

Admittedly I haven't watched on a big screen. It's just the trajectory from Broadbean's looping header doesn't look like it could ever go under the keeper without even the slightest microns of a gnats cock. I don't dispute what you say btw. But in any case, surely the assist would go to Odimayo for that long punt up to TB?  :hmmm:

Yeah Lyden (or Doughty  :cry:) makes us a different animal in that area of the pitch. We're unbalanced. Grant doesnt look like he knows how deep he should be dropping at times. Seemed a bit lost yesterday.

Losing Doughty was a huge shame. But both him and Smith are similar players, both number 8s. Lyden offers the perfect balance to a Smith or Doughty alongside a more defensive midfielder like Grant.

Given a favourable wind (weaker opponents at home), Smith and Doughty could have been pretty magic to watch together though.

Yeah see what you're saying but Matt Smith was at times playing as the 10 yesterday so could easily see Doughty feeding him with Grant sitting. All hypothetical anyway. A fit Lyden would be a huge plus.

Will need changes for Crewe given fresh injury problems, so assuming those available are the 18 man squad against Oxford less the injured Baudry and Joel Grant, with no one else returning I would be tempted to give Anthony Grant a rest (saving him for the more physical battle against Gillingham), handing a start to Haines who hopefully will add some energy to the midfield and bring in Broadbent at the back, reverting to plan B if we fall behind again. All of Broadbent, Hunt, DJ and Payne deserve starts based on the impact they all made as subs on Saturday.

A sort of 4411 formation, with Caddis and Payne providing the width in midfield and DJ behind and in support of Tyler Smith.

Kovar.
Hunt Odemayo Broadbent Donahue
Caddis Haines M Smith Payne
DJ
T Smith

Subs
Fryer
Curran
Grounds
A Grant

There are no stand out teams so far this season in our league, We beat Hull yet they sit at the top, Peterborugh are 2nd yet you were the better side for the whole of the 1st half against them.

Charlon outplayed us in the LC tie but sit 3rd in the league yet were beatne 4-2 by a Burton side that we beat.

No team so far has looked head an shoulders the best in this league.

The last 3 fixtures for Crewe have been 3 defeats again Cheltenham A (FA cup) 2-1, Accrington A 1-0 and Pompey A 4-1.

The sit 2 places above us but on the same points as us on the same games played, both with 5 wins and 1 draw so far.

In the last 5 league form - ours is actually very slightly better on DLWLW and they are on LWWLL.

A few bits on Crewes defeat at Cheltenham on Saturday...

Quote
I am getting a bit fed up of football by numbers and without passion. We seem to have forgotten how to attack. I can't tell who is being reined in by management and who hasn't got the appetite.
Perry seems to have lost it and we make little progress down that side. Mind you, I am getting very worried about Powell. He seems heavy and ponderous. None of the driving forward of last season. Perhaps he needs a spell on the left (his preferred side) while Charlie takes the right and gets outside his marker.
I won't say anything about Finney except to say we need 11 players with passing ability.
Whatever, we need tactical change. The opposition have worked us out and there is not enough individual initiative to break the system.
Time to let the players have a bit of freedom on the pitch.

We got what we deserved, no imagination, no forward movement and nobody willing to drive at the Cheltenham defence. The only positve was Porter scoring.
Re Powell, I think that he is a confidence player and at the moment he hasn't got any. Like last season as soon as he gets on the scoresheet he will improve. My biggest worry is Perry who eveytime gets the ball looks to pass sideways or back. Where's the drive from last season?
One last moan- have we employed the same Throw-in coach as twenty years ago. We seem totally lost at throw ins, especially in our own half.

We seem to have dipped severely in form since we beat Peterboro and the discussion should be why? Maybe its because we really are a L2 team that cannot even compete with another L2 team like yesterday?

I wouldn't worry about the League 2 - League 1 difference, on that showing Cheltenham will be in League 1 next season. They were just better then us all over the pitch, they closed us down as soon as we tried to move forward. Their wingers were able to go past our defenders with ease. It was like watching the Alex/Posh game....only in reverse.

Wherever you may be
You are the king of the west country
He’s 9 foot tall
And really fucking hard
And he beat Poxford in their own back yard’

I’ve just joined many, and rightfully voted for Eastwood as their November player of the month.
Brilliant, just done the same thing !!.

I have watched it many times and I think you are wrong mate, Tylers made no connection with that ball at all. Goal for Broadbent and immaculate assist to Clownkeeper.
Even Broadbent disputes Tyler getting a touch.

That was Broadben'ts first EFL goal, of course he wants the brace!

I've watched it a fair few times and I can't definitively call it but Tyler says he got a touch and therefore that's what we should go with.

Broadbent has the 'Turbo' legacy secured regardless so I'm sure he can live with it.

I hope they don't, but they're bound to notice. They're also likely to be very suspicious if/when he gets the most votes.

Still with a try, though. It would be a legendary bit of trolling if we pull it off.

Eastwood was 2nd place in my MOTM choices, my 1st choice wasn’t on the list, so I have voted for Eastwood.

I’m not so sure. Isn’t this a sponsor’s thing? I presume they harvest all the email addresses and nobody who actually works there will probably have no idea who Simon Deadwood is. They’ll just pass the ‘winner’s name’ onto the club.

Just realised you can vote as many times as you want.

‘Derek Nimmo’ just voted - for those of a special vintage who remember All Gas and Gaiters and Nimmo’s catchphrase ‘Oh, calamity!’

Edit that. It was Robertson Hare
