That was a shithousing win. No quality on show.
2 goals that were a spill into the net and one that dropped nicely. A goals a goal but it wasn't exactly like we played much decent attacking football.
Saying that Oxfords shooting was dismal - missed when in a few glorious positions and only forced us into one decent save at the end.

Been asleep on the couch all afternoon and it seems we won 2-0.
How did our midfield do?

O'Donnell - 7 Caddis 7 O'Connor 7 NKP 7 - His sending off looked bollocks to me Chicksen 5 Henry 6 LOB 8 MOM Payne 7 Ball 6 Doyle 6 Brunker 6 his best game by a mile.

Spot on, although I’d knock a mark off Payne for continually tinning out of challenges- and I don’t mean ones that look like leg-breakers.

First twenty minutes they were all over us and I thought that we’d get bummed. We scored two goals in quick succession against the run of play and then there wasn’t much in it. Class shithousing all round time wasting wise but particularly from Caddis and Henry. Ps: How the fuck did Chicksen get man of the match?

We didn’t deserve to be two up but we were and you could see the confidence it had given our forward line. Caddis was basically dani Alves, miles better than what we have. NKP looked a bit shakey but from where o was the sending off looked ridiculous not even sure it was a foul. Loved O’Donnells time wasting kick ups at the end of 8 (eight) minutes injury time. Why the fuck did the Gompers cancel the fly over?

Thought the Chickboy had a decent second half tbh. Showed a willingness to make a strong challenge that had hitherto felt he lacked.
NKP and AOC were a good solid 7.5/10 too for the last 70 minutes too, which is about 4/10 better than the rest of the season.
Caddis looks like a former pro returning for a testimonial, but is a tenacious little bastard and stopped a number of crosses that Riley would’ve waved through.
Him and Henry brought some much needed shithousery and timewasting to slowvthe game down and wind up the Oxford players.
Bruenker was shit, but got a load of ‘oohs’ from the kop whenever he won a flick on. He wasn’t entirely useless but I sincerely hope he never plays for the club again after January. I would like him to score in front of the kop though, just to see his celebration.
LOB was his usual busy, annoying self, I like that lad.

It’ll probably delay the inevitable, but we needed a win and we got it. So it’s something.
Can’t believe they never did the fly past. Got some tough games coming up, we could be even further adrift despite todays win. Maybe they’ll do it once we really are in the shit......

From what I've been reading Bruenker 'won every header' and caused havoc with his presence but we still need 'Big' Jim back. Nine out of ten.

Just got back and it feels strange firstly going to a game and secondly not being so angry I want to commit a slasher style murder on anyone who comes near me.
Thought LOB was great today must have covered every blade of grass. Everyone put a shift in and had the desire and it's strange that it happens to be the first game after edin has cleared his desk. Who gave Chicksen man of the match he was hopeless first half and showed how shite he was with a fresh air kick after 10 seconds causing us unnecessary pressure second half he improved but nowhere near enough to get mom.
In all it was scrappy but we never looked like losing and the desire and heart was back. Good 3 points and edin gone, I'm happy

So has Edin left, categorically?

So has Edin left, categorically? Nah. Last we heard he was toast but fighting it. It looks like Stefan's grown balls and pulled the plug but Edin wants paying out. Since Edin's fucked the club way below what he put in there was an impasse. He's fucked anyway if Stefan wants him gone; they're just haggling over a price.

Well, hopefully it’s just a matter of time before it happens formally. Now we have to hope that Rupp doesn’t just continue the clubs slide in the abyss, just that its slowed down a little with Edin potentially out of the picture. Still a massive task to turn us round this season. Things feel a bit more positive but there’s a lot for Rupp to do to prove he is cut out for football club ownership. Jury is still well and truly out.

Jury is still well and truly out. Rupp's benign stupid: he knows he knows fuck all about football. Rahic is malignant stupid: he knows fuck all about football but doesn't realise it. Rupp is easily the better of the two because he'll leave it to the pros until such time as he can sell the club and forget he ever got involved in furnishing that idiot with his dream.
