IlsonDerby Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Oxford giving Norwich a good game so far. It’s clear Norwich have better players and they do look the better side but Oxford are really matching them. Aggressively winning the ball back and looking dangerous when they do break forwards.

BathRam72 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 You have to say that the Norwich defence was woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Pompey been dominated but scored a good goal, Leeds keeper is shocking though. If you think Vickers is bad this lad let in a shot that was directly at his chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggerB Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) I posted this in the Foitball thread earlier. Is it just me looking on a little jealously at Oxford and Pompey’s line-ups today? We look to have by far the weakest recruitment of the 3 promoted sides so far. Let’s hope we come good on deals in the final 3 weeks of the window.

tomsdubs Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Lang screamer for Pompey, they've been second best but Pompey have quality and can play. We look the worst of the 3 to come up on this evidence so far. MackworthRamIsGod and DiggerB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 We’re definitely the worst team in the league at the moment. Really can’t see us surviving given we’re talking about “final additions” rather than an overhaul in the last few weeks of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style of play is better suited to the league, they play the ball more and are more disciplined. DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcestershireRam Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 In fairness I thought Oxford were brilliant when they came to Pride Park and played lovely football under Liam Manning. They wobbled when he left but it looks like they have found their feet again. The high press possession based football looks like it may be more effective in the championship than league one too. They deserve their 2-0 lead today and Norwich were rocked by a player withdrawing from the team this morning because he wants to leave. The dressing room morale must be low at Norwich with Sara leaving, Rowe wanting out and Sargent looking to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Looks like we’re relegated after one game then. This forum never fails to make me laugh. Rammy03, Comrade 86, MACKWORTHRAM and 9 others 3 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set up well out of possession, work hard to close the spaces when they lose the ball, move it around quickly and efficiently and have Harris up front! We’re the polar opposite currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Honestly reading stuff like "we're the worst team in the league" after one game is pretty embarrassing even by the standards of some of our fans. Absolute joke to be honest. We're probably going to add about 4-5 more players at least and will have players like Ward, CBT and Yates back very soon. 2 seasons ago we came back for pre season with 5 players. Getting out of league of league one after 2 seasons was a great achievement. Teams like Pompey, Ipswich, Sunderland etc were down there for a lot longer and had chance to properly build. Of course it's going to be difficult. But we've played one game (we lost the first two last season and went up) and I saw more than enough yesterday to know that with a few additions we will be fine BramcoteRam84, archram, Premier ram and 11 others 5 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
