10th April Thread

[Luke Imp]

Back in action for us tomorrow, and not really an ideal one in home to Blackpool who're in good form whilst our home form is very patchy (poor given our league position).

Jackson (covid), Morton (covid) and Johnson (international duty) will be back. Sanders and Walsh back in the squad after injury but not 90 minute fit as you'd expect after so long out (we've not even had 90 minutes in total out of Sanders since he signed in January I don't think).

No Bridcutt, Hopper or Grant, which is still 3 of the 4 of the spine of the team missing.

Well it’s obvious that certain players are not putting in performances since Moore chuffed off, we aren’t going to win another game all season so unless who we are playing are utter shite they’ve got a nailed on 3 points. I’m certainly not going to be wasting my time watching anymore games this season to watch 2/3rds of the players tossing it off.

Burton at home for us. They've stuttered a bit recently after their fine recent run, although they did win on Monday.

I'm expecting a tight, low-scoring affair. It's the last game of Marquis's suspension so Curtis will no doubt continue up front. Sean Raggett is a doubt after injuring his cheekbone on Monday. Hard to believe, but it's made him even uglier. A centre-half's face if ever I saw one.

We should have beaten them easily on Monday, so that should tell you something. They Like launching the ball.

Is he still missing his front tooth? He knocked that out for us away at Eastleigh about this stage of the season four years ago. Pretty sure he did it heading in a cross for the winning goal, headbutted the defender, picked his tooth up, played on and went straight to an emergency dentist straight after the game to try and get it put back in!

He has a false one, but doesn't wear it during games.

Rochdale at home tomorrow, Fleetwood have struggled against teams towards the basement and put in some very average performances. Dale wll fighting for their lives so a real tussle ahead tbh, we will do well to win this
I know our visitors have had more than a bad time this season but really do hope they can stay up, notwithstanding losing their game tomorrow

 

[Luke Imp]

AFCW, Bristol Rovers and Wigan all winning at the minute, which bunches the bottom up a bit more.

Point probably better for us than Rovers, but god that was a tense, scrappy game.

Can’t see where the wins come from after today

 

[SuffolkBlue]

Ipswich town nil strikes again. 215 minutes since we had a shot on target. Roll on the summer clear out

Awful game, shame on ourselves as we can play so much better than that.

Furious at the referee though, gifted you a point today.

 

[Super_horns]

Few goals around then...

5 and a 6 being scored.

 

[Luke Imp]

A good point for us given the circumstances, coming from two down with looking well short after our enforced break. The subs we made were basically pre-season ones i.e. we had players who couldn't really do more than 45 or 60 minutes.

Still digging into that PO spot!

Destroyed Crewe today, could have had more than the 6. Lovely stuff.

Burton safe after today I'd say.

 

[EricSabin]

Our run in stinks

Peterborough (a)
Ipswich (h)
Gills (a)
Blackpool (h)
Sunderland (a)

Just don’t see us taking enough points from that lot

Where are all of those Crewe weirdos that are usually all over these threads?

Our game will be 0-0. So it’s a point closer!

You want to be playing us.

Managed to get ourselves firmly back into the play-off race.

Big win today.

Not sure I follow?

 

[PuB]

After today’s results I’d be very worried if I were a cobblers fan

Not worried, resigned

Still here. Find it VERY strange that Oxford twitter is still obsessed about a couple of our players getting Covid during a global pandemic, when case numbers were off the scale in this country. Why not give us a proper insult? Something that we were actually at fault for? Maybe something along the lines of our club being pretty much the centre of a paedophile ring? Not seen an Oxford comment on that. Priorities, eh.

 

[codaplenty]

Huge possession from the Cods but translating into goals is another matter. Afraid on this form Rochdale look in dire straits, they gave it a go in the last 10/15 minutes but too little too late
Defensive wise we are superb and we finished the game with 5 of our academy players on the pitch - Hill ( MOM ) Garner/Rydel/Saunders and Biggins -an indication of the great progress being made within the club

They're managed by Mr Robinson...

Crewe fan in living up to being a weirdo shock. So you would actually prefer your club being the centre of a paedophile ring, than being a club that flouted COVID regulations? Astounding!

Nothing to say about the game today then, as you lot are normally all over these threads?

Bit of a stretch there bud. Barbs about something that we had no control over are weird. If you wanna give us shit, go at us for something that is justified. That's all I'm saying. Priorities, eh.

 

[Indian Dan]

Shit or bust week for us. Rochdale away Tues, Wimbledon away Sunday. Only good thing is that they are both away. Now lost 13 at home. Unbelievable.

Anyway if I had to pick between shit and bust, I’d say shit, closely followed by bust.
