When was the last time (apart from that Norwich game) that we came from behind to draw or win a game?

 

From the top of my head.

 

Win = Spurs away last season.

Draw = Liverpool away last season.

Have no problem prioritising the league in a situation where we need to basically win every game, it's not like when you're mid-table in the PL and tossing it off, or even when you're at the bottom and getting howked every week anyway, where a bit of confidence from a win could be vital.

 

IMO managers though should be telling supporters that it's going to be a second string before people trek halfway down the country for it. It's not on really. At least if people have paid their money with their eyes open, they're not going to feel so aggrieved.

Absolutely no point in trying to progress in the FA Cup when the likes of Chelsea and Man city are still in the competition.

What bollocks [emoji38]

Exactly. Tell that to Wigan, Birmingham etc etc

You want him sacked?

 

Don't think anyone wants him sacked but he is not a god and is open to criticism when deserved and there have been a few times like today when it has been totally warranted.

Exactly - my brother and 2 nephews have forked out quute a bit to go and watch that team selection and it's not on.

Rafa at fault? Are you lot for f***ing real? [emoji38] It's Oxford ffs, he gave Mitrovic the chance, and the bloke missed 3 clear cut chances and a penalty. [emoji38]

 

Are you for real have a look at that team man f*** of no hopers and s***

 

It sounds like he had opportunities. Can't blame the manager or the team for him missing.

 

You can't pin everything on Mitrovic.  The whole team sounded awful 2nd half.

 

He is and always has been a scapegoat for a large majority of our support.

 

Not excusing the fact that he should have scored today, but he's certainly not the only person to blame.

 

Misses 3 big chances, demands the penalty and misses it and he's being scapegoated? He misses sitters literally all the time like, I couldn't care less if he's passionate or cares if he's not doing his job.

Tbf, as we're near the top of the league, we generally beat teams without needing to come from behind.

Agree with the first paragraph.

 

Disagree with the second, you know what you're signing up to when you follow NUFC. Particularly in a cup game.
