They’re still better off than us - by 2 points.
Hopefully they will sack their manager soon and come and pay us loads of compo for one of their own

Nothing, nada, zero, 0 shots on target at the goal ?
Come on FFS

Very flat, Very slow and not much too show anywhere
They did zip the ball about well and 0-1 was very nice on us…
Deffo wasnt the best games on football tho…
Fair play fans 2nd half we gave it a go!
Best team won. Thought we played alright, defended our box valiantly. We are desperate in midfield and upfront though, if we had anyone half decent past the centre circle, we might have nicked a result. Played to defend narrow, which is what you do against a side that
is going to pass you to death, nearly worked. We gave it a go, thats good enough for me, two months ago we would have lost that 4 or 5 nil.
We need Sinclair back as soon as, as we cant get the ball back when he isn’t in the side.
Adebayo is a cart horse. Good ice skater though. Lavery did bugger all again, although he set Gordon up, which he missed. As usual.
Ref was dog poo, as usual.
Roberts deservedly got MOTM.
Fans booed at the end, fuckin having a laugh? Idiots.

Oxford looked good last season when they beat us 2-1 at the Banks’s with 10 men. They’ve improved their squad since then with the likes of Matty Taylor to complement quality players like James Henry. We definitely haven’t improved our squad, that’s for sure, and so there was only one real outcome from today’s game. I was going to go but didn’t fancy spending 30-odd quid on a ticket and petrol. I made the right decision judging by our possession stats and NO shots on target. 2019/20: another sh! Te season,

I didnt hear a single boo?
THink that may have been at the ref not the players.
Frustration, LC. This just shows how far we have fallen over the last 3 seasons. We are basically a Non-League side with very little quality. Need to get rid of Liddle, Adebayo, Guffney, Holden and Norman and start building a team for next season - this season’s over.

Summed up perfectly am I right in saying we have sold 250 tickets for Port Vale away next week if so that just shows how many saddlers fans feel…our away support at the start when it looked all rosy was superb at away games with similar distances away it’s a good barometer for me personally because I love our away support such a shame and what a mess
OMG really wish I could see it that way , heroic effort ? 100% effort is the minimum requirement from any professional in any profession.
I’ve just got in from the game and thought we did as well as a team of completely average players could be expected to do .
Oxford were far superior and the goal was coming all second half , I don’t think we actually had a shot on target all game .
Today just confirmed to me that we have a squad of completely anonymous players absolutely devoid of any ‘spark’ whatsoever
and it doesn’t really matter how Clarke juggles it they are all pretty much the same.The only player with anything a little different is McDonald and he is far too erratic.,as for the January transfer window some on here are banking on why do you believe it will be any different than the pre season window when the recruitment was abysmal at best , and it wasn’t because of the budget which is at least average for this level.
Fingers crossed there is a team worse than us .
Totally agree with you said it the other week probably gonna end up with target 9 and a half out of his 10 targets and waiting for Gaffney style phone calls with an hour of the window to go… who’s out there looking at this football club?? And who’s in charge of recruitment because they need sacking it’s as simple as that
How is it possible for two teams to polarise like that in just 12 months? Remember driving away from Oxford last year listening to their fans whinge about their greedy landlord ripping them off with their ground rent. Can we really blame a disproportionate rent for being so poor?

No we can’t , you can blame p- - s poor player recruitment and wasting the budget, just hope the money he has held back is substantial because there could easily be some one else in charge come January
