The thing is, we know it's a done deal and a good chance it's not in the club's interest. We actually know neither of those things.

Another week drifts by and no news on any new owners, anyone else going to guess whether it will happen next or the week after if at all... Probably a question best asked of those who had a meeting with him last week, no? You are right, I will email the club and ask DE.

To be fair hall , despite his pa e also never makes runs to receive the ball from the full back, he waits till he has it at feet. ? Pretty clear I thought, and I agree with it. Difference between Hall and Henry though, is that even from a standing start Hall has the pace to go past a man and so attack, Henry doesn't.

Which is why u need to play hall on the left, remember how good he was there first time around. Can then run into the area behind the defence or whip in a cross with his proper foot. On the other side u just have to use Henry better. Maguire wasn’t fast down the right but often got past his man, to do that u either need better balls through, or quick 1-2’s with an assisting fullback. What neither do successfully is play as an inside forward. They have their moments, Robbie cut in and hit cracking shot last week, but it’s once in a blue moon, the rest of the time resulting in running into defender or just getting out crowded.

He picks Tiendalli because he wants to be proved correct in signing him. This is not unusual amongst managers (MApp, for all his strengths, had a big dose of Not Invented Here...remember his reluctance to play Hylton And O'Dowda?) Given that we are mid-table (a situation most of us would have accepted pre-season) it would be a strange sacking in November. But you aren't the only one to detectc storm clouds through a mixture of limited tactics and an elderly injury-prone squad in a league that rewards pace and power above all else. It's odd, though, how often in football just when you think you're never going to win another game, from nowhere you get a win and the whole mood around the camp changes (c.f. Peterborough away) Plymouth are my 'second side' (Cornish grandparent!) and I've seen them play twice this season. They are desperately limited going forwards. If we can up our tempo and really go for the jugular I think we could/should win. I'm hoping we go down there and hammer them Charlie but I just cannot see it happening Mmm. I am not sure what the odds were but I suspect that Plymouth were slight favourites having not lost in six. I was not at all surprised that we won in Plymouth. We can be a very good side (but can also be very poor).

the guy has no plan B,C,or D. how on earth he picks tiendalli ahead of Carroll is beyond me and ruffles appears to be out of favour again!!!!! there seems no cohesion whatsoever in the squad. he's gone for over the hill foreigners who just aren't up to the job. I really can't see us getting a result at wanky Plymouth after last Saturday,if he starts using the injuries as an excuse now then it's pretty obvious he's run out of excuses......lose tomorrow he has to go but we all know Daryl won't sack him!!!!!!! I for one are pleased that Darryl and not you decides on our managers.... I assume that you wanted MAPP out when we were close to bottom of League 2?

You will know that in football the one thing that doesn't lie is the league table (post 10-12 games in where it doesn't mean a huge amount). So the table shows that we are 7th. We have won 7 drawn 5 and lost 6. Our goal difference is PLUS 9. Most of the people on here who I think know quite a lot about football reckoned that having lost McAlenay, Maguire, Johnson and Lundstrom especially (plus MAPP), we would do Ok to finish top half of the table. So your implication that DE doesn't know what he is doing by keeping Pep says a lot to me. Many OUFC fans wanted MAPP out and DE was proved 100% correct to keep him. I reckon personally that suggesting that Pep should go now is madness. Talk about giving a manager a chance. Our next two games are difficult (I reckon that Blackburn will be Top 2 at the end of the season), so I am hoping that the majority will get behind the team and manager even if these don't go particularly well.

I think Pep was definitely hindered in the Summer re transfers as this take over talk has certainly been going on for a while. I like Pep but he can be frustrating and in some ways has "lucked" his way to where we are. It's been fairly well voiced on this forum that it is clear trying to shoehorn Hall and Henry into the same starting 11 does not work. We were on a bad run before Posh, Hall got injured, and we went on a winning run. Same has happened now (although I'd rather have Hall available and wish him well). If Pep can just keep the midfield stable now, and fit, then Henry, Lego, Ruffels and Rothwell will give us a solid platform for the front men to build on. When Hall comes back then rotate with Henry.

If you look beyond that you will see that we are indeed '7th' but are equal seventh with about four other teams. And that two teams just behind us have games in hand which, with an average points haul of 1.3 a game would see them overhaul us. Looking at it fairly and squarely we are about upper mid-table. Say about 9th. But, as you imply, that is a decent result for Pep, given everything (let's not go into it). However...... one would have to be remarkably ostrich-like not to notice that our overall form (Cups included) since the first two games in the season has been pretty poor, and that two of our better players in that period are now out for a long, long time. So the Plymouth game, welcome though the result was, shouldn't paper over the entirety of the body of evidence built up over the last two and a half months. Until the squad and manager have expunged the buttock-clenchingly bad performances they are capable of from their repertoire, and reached 50 points, we won't feel entirely comfortable and defeats will continue to be treated as grim harbingers (as they were not last season, because we were almost always competitive, even in defeat). Genuinely think that the honest and sensible position re Pep is on the fence. Sacking him clearly unfair. But somehow trying to pretend that we are wholly convinced is at constant risk of being undermined by the next horror show.

We are seventh - it doesn't matter that we may be lucky here are there, we are seventh. The table doesn't lie - you are where you deserve to be. Has it always been great, no. Do we need more consistency, yes. This season will have it's ups and downs, its normal for any new manager.
This is a typical roller coaster ride that is supporting OUFC. At least if it all goes tits up, we end up in League 2 and not the hell hole that is the National League.

I totally agree. The Cup games (Cheltenham/ Port Vale) have been terrible as was Bury away. There have been some very good performances though and we have been terribly inconsistent. Agree also that two of our better players are now out for a while. Interestingly a few people on here at the start of the season suggested that in all likelihood we would be inconsistent and we would look to be mid table. So far they were pretty good predictions. Personally I am far from convinced. Whether Pep will totally prove himself who knows. What I would say is that to date nothing is that different from what many thought. Whilst there have been some horror shows, the players have shown some bottle by twice coming back after very poor runs (Peterborough and Plymouth away). It was not long ago that we beat Peterborough, Wimbledon and Rovers in successive games and went five games undefeated. I guess that my frustration is that football is at a place where after a poor run and people are after the managers head. DE is one of the braver Chairmen (he doesn't do a Leeds and sack their manager after a small number of poor results).

Barring the unfortunate Waddock, we have had three managers in near ten years. And that has seen us climb two divisions. Provided that we are in no danger of relegation, Pep should definitely not be fired this season. Give him EVERY chance to show what he can do. But God am I starting to dread the next humiliation. That was something that OUFC had gradually expunged from the play book over the last decade. Please Pep can you get the players to fockus and try their hardest in every game, not just after four defeats in a row?? Just a quiet beg.

I think as fans, there is general confusion as to what our aim is for the season. Personally would be more than happy with a top 12 finish and a chance for Pep to learn about his squad and the league. I actually think he has a fair bit to learn but at the same time, think in time, he could be a real asset and we just need to understand we may have some inconsistences this year.
Cup exits have been disappointing but for this season - maybe not a disaster.
People calling for Pep's head as we have consistently sat in the top half of the league this season - nonsensical to me. Yes we have chucked in some poor performances but some excellent results too. We are scoring goals (joint best in the league).....think people need to just accept it will be a rollercoaster season.

To play alongside the same small group of promising young players who were already here. Don't believe me? Ok, how many of the 14 new players do we think have made the case that they will be here next August as part of a promotion-chasing side? Taking age into account. Ricardinho has done well at times, but we concede too many from right flank crosses and channels balls. And he is headed towards mid 30s. Mousinho has done ok, but is also getting on and has been partly responsible for several of our recent chaotic concessions. Other than that I am struggling. So if Pep wasn't trying to get us into the play-offs at least then what was his aim in putting together such a large short-term squad? Why have players blocking the progress of Carroll and Rothwell if the only aim is survival?

As for the title of the thread, I simply pointed out the stupidity of those (including you) who brush over our league position to instill unnecessary panic. We are 7th. Maybe more like 9th. Possibly deserve about 11th - so what? None of these positions would warrant the sacking of Pep so early into his first season. As for the personal side-swipes, unfortunately when you are little more than an irritable fly you have to accept that occasionally someone will turn up with a rolled up newspaper to put an end to your mindless buzzing! Anyway, must go. Me and my gang have to set out our Anti-Charlie plan of attack for this week!!!!

I really am getting sick and tired of all this back and forth nonsense. Start your own thread (or even forum) and have it out there. The alternative is, live and let live. Debate without insults or mocking. Grow up. All of you. It's not even amusing anymore.

Definition of trolling: starting quarrels online, usually under pseudonym, by starting extraneous off-topic tangents aimed at upsetting people and sowing discord.' Read back to my post about mid-table being ok, then have a look at scotch egg's contribution and go figure. Next up, let's watch as he deliberately side-steps both the thread title and the substance of what I have just written to have another personal side-swipe. What is hilarious is how he and his little gang get all uppity and upset when dealt with in their own currency. 'How dare you insult my pseudonym! I'm taking my trolling toys elsewhere if that's how I'm treated.' Glad to see that you've still got the skin of a rhino when he comes to brushing off any criticism!! As for the title of the thread, I simply pointed out the stupidity of those (including you) who brush over our league position to instill unnecessary panic. We are 7th. Maybe more like 9th. Possibly deserve about 11th - so what? None of these positions would warrant the sacking of Pep so early into his first season. As for the personal side-swipes, unfortunately when you are little more than an irritable fly you have to accept that occasionally someone will turn up with a rolled up newspaper to put an end to your mindless buzzing! Anyway, must go. Me and my gang have to set out our Anti-Charlie plan of attack for this week!!!! I’m already considering a new pseudonym and profile pic for the new forum. What’s ur thoughts on peter venkman

Debate without insults or mocking. Grow up. All of you. It's not even amusing anymore. Apologies. It must be annoying for those not involved, as it is for those of us who can’t post with out being continuously called names . it tends to provoke a reaction when ur constantly called a “thicko” or “idiot” or ur opinions on football belittled not because they don’t have merit just as they differ from his own.

Hope the bloke singing "Appleton's Yellow Army" in the OM last night enjoyed himself. Clown.
