For Joey, welling up in Leeds, pint on the table to raise my glass to a Legend

[chuckbert]

We should get Ryan's brothers Rhys and Aryn on loan.

 

[bert]

Well done boys. Well done OUFC. Well done Karl Robinson. RIP Joey.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Good result. Totally missed the game.

 

[foghorn]

Really emotional watching those scenes at the end from over here in New Zealand. Seeing Joey's daughters on the pitch while the fans were singing his name was incredible. A shame that iFollow cut away from the ground so soon.

 

[unification]

Bloody hell. I mean we got there but took the scenic route.

Good job that this team can score goals because it sure as hell can’t defend them.

Well done regardless. We wanted a win for Joey and got it.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

A shame that iFollow cut away from the ground so soon.

iFollow finding yet another way to p*ss us all off

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Ifollow. Incredible. How does anyone do that knowingly?

So even as a defensive-minded pragmatist, I'm just going to throw my hands up and go with the flow for the rest of the season.

Because I've been watching for 30 years, and this is the most attack-minded Oxford team I've ever seen.
Denis Smith's 95/96 team was brilliant going forwards, but also had a really solid defensive base.
Appleton's 2015/16 team was equally excellent up front but had a rock-solid back four of quality defenders, and other players further forwards who were defensively responsible.

Basically we played with two defenders today. You can call Ryan Williams a right back if you like - but he still played as a right winger. Utterly brilliant going forwards - involved in everything - and then hopelessly out-of-position for their second goal! There wasn't much going on on the other side of the pitch, but Seddon is the same way.

And there's no other way they can play, with the personnel we've got, so it's just time to ride the roller-coaster until the season's end! You score two, we'll score more, and just keep that going to the promised land!!
