OAFC Blues

Need a big win today, these have been going very well so far so it won't be an easy one. I'd like to see some players who have been out in the cold given chances. We have set up much more positively in both home games so far and I'd expect today to be the same.

I'm not sure on 80%. Home attendance has been good and the negativity from the terraces has mainly been from the piss heads at away games. He has set up positively in both home games so far and I'd expect the same on Monday. It's undeniable that we've had a poor start and I'm sure everyone can see that but I think most are still willing to give it more time. Monday will be a good barometer for the kind of support he still has, gate size and mood of the crowd will be the proof.

I can't believe people on here and twitter are trying to use the Green sub as evidence of bad management. The guy just came back from a hamstring injury and has another game in less than 48 hours. DU would have been mental not to bring him off. No matter how much Green shakes his head.

I agree that it was a lucky point, they should have scored 4. Their commentator said that they had bad start last season too and it was beating us that kickstarted them to have a good second half and make the playoffs. So that's an improvement.

A good point against a team we lost against last season. We have to win our home games though, otherwise good away points become bad results. 5 points from the first 15. In a vacuum that's just not good enough for a team expecting playoffs minimum. Taking into consideration the bad build up to the first game and the injuries to new signings, there has to be some leeway. He has to find a way to get wins though, results are what matters at the end of the day.

Another turgid display. If we had midfielders who could get the ball and pick a pass, this wouldn't be too bad but at the moment we just get the ball and give it straight back. I'm not a Nuttall boo boy but he needs to pick his game up. I think half the problem is that he wants the ball to feet but we can't pass it and just lump it at him.

I don't expect us to set up as defensively as we were against Chesterfield but will likely still be more defensive than we have been at home. Hopefully Green is fit enough to start as we really need his speed as an outlet if we are going to be sitting deep and trying to hit on the break, which has been DU's away tactic since he came in. 2 wins over the bank holiday weekend would be a big lift to everyone and hopefully sooth some of the negativity that's been building up this week. I'd be happy with an away draw and home win personally but 2 wins would be lovely.
