All players are inconsistent, but the divergence of opinion on Duffy is partly because he has been more inconsistent than most. The first two goals (open play) at FGR last season were excellent the miss at home to Exeter in the PSF was awful. I don't know what 'lazy' really means for a footballer, b...

Matt D has it just about right, I think. I also noticed Eddie Anaclet sometimes looking at Clarke and others asking who was supposed to be picking up whom, but this is, ironically, a positive, because once the side is more settled, these things will become instinctive. I agree also with the RadOx co...

So - putting chance to one side. Does this mean: 1. The injuries were a Smith pretext for not playing them 2. Patto is less cautious about returning them to the team after injury 3. They want to impress the new boss, stake a claim 4. We're winning / it's more fun so they want to play 5. Psychosomati...

Like some celebrities, the England team is ultimately the victim of the media, which replays all the cheap stories of glory v disaster, hero v villain. It's not surprising that they do this - it makes lots of money because many people buy into it. I think there is something in the overpaid arguments...
I think comments on Bailey are a bit harsh - he kept going, and did quite a lot of work. I thought Pettefer was exceptional. St Aimie was pretty poor, I thought, and although Collins was good on the ball, he was responsible for their goal, and he was out of position at other times. We were not fully...

I agree with much of this - we played quite well, but there could easily have been a different result. If so, would we still have acknowledged the positives? A bit harsh on Hutchinson - he ended up doing a lot of aerial work, and I thought Trainer was more disappointing tonight. I'm also concerned t...

I, like Boris, try to give the benefit of the doubt, but like Boris see little quality in Robinson. He has all the hallmarks of a poor striker, as rigorously and accurately analysed above. On the contrary, Duffy does have some of the right qualities on the pitch - second goal at FGR last season was ...

Depends 'by whom?' Few things are 'unbelievable' in an absolute sense, i.e. no-one can, or would, believe it. However, given the general scepticism of football supporters, and some OUFC supporters in particular, our leader may have deemed that the commitment of the players was of a greater level tha...
