Watford vs. Oxford? There'll be yellow everywhere!

The last time I went to Vicarage Road was August 2015, not sure how many times I've been there in total, but I've watched matches from three of the four stands.

Lost 1-0! Need some of our injured players back because we are woeful 

[Muur]

at least you didnt lose 5-0 like we did. to a newly promoted team, who said on twitter before the game playing vs bolton is the biggest game in their entier history (what???)

[oufcAD37]

Is that because Stockport see you as a derby? (Went on BBC to see who you played)

[oufcAD37]

@dje_wba thanks for beating Hull! Kept us in 16th lol 

[dje_wba]

You're welcome, I guess! It wasn't pretty, but it was much needed. Seven games unbeaten now.

[Muur]

Awful first half to seem like we were gonna lose two derbies in a row but a great second half getting us the win. Blackpool spent half the game singing about evatt being a Blackpool legend and hating Bolton so good shit

I remember him playing for them when they had their season in the Premier League, 14 years ago now.

After having only seen a total of three goals in seven matches prior to today, this afternoon I saw four goals in the first half. Unfortunately Karlan Grant had a goal disallowed that would have made it 3-2, and there were no more goals after that, but still the most entertaining match that I have attended so far this season. Even with those four goals though, I have still seen fewer goals this season at The Hawthorns than were scored in one match at the Kassam...

Well the less said about us the better! Fair play to Boro though,  top team. 

[Muur]

Well, threw away two points in one of our games in hand. Winning would've put us top 6, but who wants promotion I guess

[oufcAD37]

Lost to Sheffield United! Need to start winning soon! 

[dje_wba]

Albion drew 0-0 at Sunderland last night and are now unbeaten in nine matches, although only one of those was a win.

On Saturday I will be going to Preston for what will be my first match away match of the season and my first away match since I went to Norwich in January. Last season I saw Albion win 4-0 at Deepdale, so I am hoping for something similar this weekend.

[Muur]

Good we win but it shouldn’t take a sending off to start playing. Was losing with 15 to go and only won cuz their guy got sent off 

[oufcAD37]

Our game at Plymouth cancelled due to the weather! 

[dje_wba]

Postponed, not cancelled. Sorry for being a pedant.

Were you due to go?

No I wasn't going,  my mate was lol I'm doing Leeds away on the 21st though 

[dje_wba]

I don't blame you. I've been to Plymouth twice, in 2006 and 2010, but right now I don't fancy going again, it's a long way to go for most away teams.

I'm guessing you've never been to Elland Road before, can't think when Oxford would've last played there. I bought a ticket a few days ago for Derby away on Boxing Day, my second away match of the season.

[oufcAD37]

I went to Elland Road in January 98 in the fa cup but as I was 10 I just remember we lost 4-0 and a young Harry Kewell tore us apart! Lol I think we've played them in the league cup most recently,  cant quite remember when.

 

Have you done Derby before? I did it in August 22 and there was no phone signal, the beer was shit and we lost lol 

[dje_wba]

I have been to Pride Park multiple times. I have been there for the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the league. I also went to the Baseball Ground twice.

[oufcAD37]

I never got the chance to go to the Baseball Ground unfortunately

we went through the pizza cup last night. next up is the most important match of the season - wigan at home. will this be the 4th 0-4 loss at home in a row against them? 2021 0-4, 2022 0-4, 2023 0-4, and now for 2024!

One of a number of now-demolished grounds that I have been to including of course both the Manor Ground and Burnden Park.

Twats 

Why do we bother 

We could have 44 wins and we’d lose the last two to Wigan. It could be prem vs league two and they win. Prem vs u21 etc. the players don’t care, it means nothing to them. Wigan always want it more and it’s pathetic.
 

We’re going no where and will be right alongside Wigan as a relegation battling league one team soon enough. 20,000+ show up every week. It’ll be 15,000 next year.

[oufcAD37]

We lost to Sheffield Wednesday,  no idea where our next win will come from! 

[oufcAD37]

So today we sacked our manager,  or Head coach,  not sure why we pushed the panic button
