[BlueAndWhiteKieran]

My team would be;
Gillespie
Atkinson Troy O'Hanlon Brough
Monakana Kennedy Corry Potts
Dempsey
Wyke

2-0 either way I think, if we win this I reckon we'll easily survive. Tough ask though.

I agree, I think today could be a defining game for both sides, if Oxford win they should re-group and easily do enough to survive, if we win i think the confidence boost would be massive, plus would be a real kick in b*lls for Oxford, I could then see us surviving easily ober next 2-3 games and Oxford maybe drop out the league......draw just plods it along for both.

big game for both clubs really, even if there is others to re-group or push on from, it could be an enormous confidence booster or killer at a vital stage of season.

Potts out injured. Big blow as he looked like our brightest spark last week. Monakana straight in for his debut in the only change from last week.

Potts missing is a blow, I think the task will be too much for the 11 out there.

2-0 Oxford. Another step closer to relegation.

 

[hellogregory]

We are fucking shite. Seriously.

1-1 because of a flukey goal from us but really it could and should be 3 or 4 for Oxford.

If we avoid finishing bottom it will be a miracle with this shower of shite.

Oxford haven't been able to buy a win recently and we're making them look like Barcelona. We are utterly terrible.

 

[cufc17]

We are shite

 

[hellogregory]

Well then cufc fans... Still think we're staying up?

We are fucking shite.

 

[cufc17]

Still think so yeah, Tranmere and Cheltenham are still worse than us. I do agree that we are shite though.

 

[daviejones]

Hahaha what a pile of shit. Luckily the other 2 worst teams in the league are losing too.

 

[shoddycollins]

Fucking hell. At least today could have gone a lot worse, but as it is it's pretty bad. No Troy for three games now. If we'd just lost then I'd still say we can stay up, but now we have to go the next three games without pretty much the only player in our squad who can possibly keep us from losing, so we're only three points clear of the relegation zone and will be losing our next three games.

One game surely?

 

[cufc17]

One game surely?

Yeah I think it was 2nd yellow so should be just 1 game. Still be a big miss.

 

[hellogregory]

Yeah I think it was 2nd yellow so should be just 1 game. Still be a big miss.

Even if it was a straight red, I think a last man red card is still only a one match ban.

 

[shoddycollins]

Ah I'm in Brussels so only had scant details of the game. Well that's cheered me up a little. To be honest there was a good chance he'd only be playing one game over Easter weekend anyway

That's my thinking as well.

Still it doesn't hide the fact that we're shite and going down.

 

[shoddycollins]

Well I'd say it's two from three now. Carlisle, Tranmere and Cheltenham

 

[hellogregory]

And to think, the man who is going to overtake us and relegate us on the final day applied for our job.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Well that was a disaster of a day really and if we go down i think this game could be the defining moment and frankly from what it sounded like we'd deserve it if we go down.

I thought today was a big day for us and could have led to a good week, a positive performance last week, head into this confident vs a side badly out of form and under pressure, grab the win which was very achievable and then tomorrow the vote goes right and we've new direction behind the scenes to add to a high morale set-up heading into next week, while Oxford after defeat sit in deep trouble and under pressure.

and then came our players who it sounded like put next to no effort in and plodded along to a terrible performance being totally outplayed by a side as poor as we are, but also dreadfully out of form........and what has this done, well it destroyed any confidence we had, it's whacked all the pressure onto us, it's made Oxford in my view safe and takes away a side we could catch, the whole momentum changes within 90 minutes and for the wrong reasons.

but it sounded like daylight robbery when we were ahead and once Oxford scored was only ever one winner...........and since our side yet again cannot muster 2 performances back to back we're again for the 50th time this season back to the tactical drawing board hoping for some miracle to scrape us to safety.
