Welcome back to Shannon-side butler
Bright day here in Cork too but cool also.
A win would be great today !

[DrWindy]

Signing in from Western Australia. First day of rain since November. Love it!

Must win game. Come on Orient

[BoniO]

Lesbos ?

I wish - think windmills and round cheeses and you'd be on point. Then think of an anagram of PNV and you'd be even closer

Afternoon from chilly but bright S Wales, where it's very quiet because of Wales' 17-0 down in Ireland. Hope we can get something out of this game, other than defeat so COYO's!!!!!

COME ON ORIENT!!!!!!!

[Story of O]

o'neil booked already

Getting roasted on the break, that was coming. Both Beckles and Cooper came for it when one of them should have dropped off, once it was in the final third anything could happen.

Beckles is looking rough out there in general.

[Monkey Boy]

That’s how to score without making 20 passes sideways

[Stan1972]

1-0 Oxford
They look dangerous on the break, opening us up every time.
Not a lot Galbraith could do with the goal.
COYO’s

[ComeOnYouOs]

Were looking flat & disinterested

Agreed, but James is looking poor too.

[DrWindy]

I hate to say it but they all look like they need a good shake. This is terrible.

[Mistadobalina]

No one looking good to be honest. Pratley having one of those games where he looks shagged, if he doesn't get the ball right to feet he can't position his body to receive it.

Oxford are a very decent team. Quick and slick on the counter, well set up defensively and physically strong.

Exactly, we have more possession but do nothing with it

[Top of the JES]

We are so slow on the ball we need to move it quicker, Oxford play forward at pace. Hopefully get to half time with no further damage.

[Story of O]

Been our problem all season

[Mistadobalina]

Ffs. Moncur should have buried that, lovely move.

[Monkey Boy]

Having Pratley and Moncur in the side you loose a lot of pace in the build up

[Mistadobalina]

Stonewall penalty that. Strong end to the half, should be level.

[i8ubutler]

We have so little goal threat.
