Why is Oxley Still In Goal?

[SJM]

2 right off the top of my head would be Falkirk away (second half we got battered for a while, he kept us in it.)

The Rangers at Easter Rd, made some cracking saves when we won.

Can't argue with that, Rangers match in particular 👍 Few and far between though I just wish he could have pushed on from that match but doesn't seem capable.

[SJM]

It's a term for those who in spite of all evidence being against them refuse to change their tone.

No it's not 😂😂😂
There's for and against evidence for the keeper without the need to offend others that feel he isn't good enough

[TrinityHibs]

How has this run to 9 pages when Scouse gave the answer in the second post.

[lapsedhibee]

Week after week Oxleys shots to goals/saves ratio is poor. Look at the Raith game, two chances, two goals, QOS on chance late on, goal, Morton 3 chances 3 goals and could have been more, Inverness first shot on goal, goal.

How, without using yamathematics, could it have been more than 3 goals from 3 chances? :confused:

[SJM]

No, three chances, 0-3. Then once it went to 0-3 they missed a few more. The first two goals complete howlers especially the second.

[Thecat23]

Just a wild guess here, but I think Oxley will be in goals tomorrow night.

Not sure about that Silver, surely Stubbs has to check Hibs net first to make sure all the managers on here agree?? 😜

[lapsedhibee]

No, three chances, 0-3. Then once it went to 0-3 they missed a few more.

Maybe so but that's nuttin to do with Oxley is it - unless he made saves from the chances, which kinda undermines your point.

[SJM]

I didn't say it was but the game was dead and buried by that point and a big part of that was down to Oxley being *****.

Luck, poor finishing. Nothing to do with any saves from Oxley that's for sure.

[flash]

No, three chances, 0-3. Then once it went to 0-3 they missed a few more. The first two goals complete howlers especially the second.

Aye the useless bugger never even saved the ones they missed.

[SJM]

Aye the useless bugger never even saved the ones they missed.

I didn't say that. I said they had 3 shots on goal. All three went in. After that they had more chances they fortunately missed. Not sure how that's hard to understand to be honest. We battered them all first half, they have one chance, keeper nowhere, goal. Second half starts, keeper blunders completely, goal. Game dead because of mistakes from the keeper. It's immaterial what happens after that but our fortune of them not scoring more wasn't down to the heroics of Oxley that's for sure.

[Hermit Crab]

I'm not going to list all the howlers, if people don't go to games to see these mistakes thats up to them. Oxley is a poor keeper and has caused us several points this season.

[The_Sauz]

And that's when the league is more or less won whilst we are fighting for our lives.

Been reading this thread, and man you talk a lot of Tom Kite :rolleyes:

Agreed.

Personally, I think it's time for a Hibs Net pogrom. Anyone who has joined in the past month or so, who racks up several hundred unrelentingly negative posts should be punted, end of story.

I'm not exactly clapping happy by nature, but enough is enough. We may lose a few genuine Hibees, but wtf. This board has become a bit of a farce lately. You state your case and that's fine, but going at it incessantly is very tiresome and is attention seeking at the very least.

So you would ban posters irrespective of who they support just because they're not happy clappers? :rolleyes:

Completely agree with that. BSometer is off the scale.

You don't have to be a happy clapper to avoid being unrelentingly negative.

Absoultely right.

I'm deeply unhappy with how things are at the moment, but I'm not all over every discussion giving it plenty. I like opinions and respect each person's right to have one, but there are times you have to question the motivation of folk. This thread is rotten, it should be binned.

Morton's first goal, came from a corner to the near post, which three of our defenders managed to be beaten by one of their players, and the ball hit the net. Oxley makes some errors, he also has some solid performances, which is what I would expect from a keeper at our level. However let's not just start making stuff up to suit an argument. If three defenders cannot deal with a routine corner to the near post then that is where the problem lies.

Also you mention that we battered them early on, yes, yes we did. We found ourselves 1-0 down due to two reasons, a centre forward missing an open goal, and a couple of other wasted chances by others, and defenders defending like pansies from a corner.

[Springbank]

How's oxley doing tonight?

The bovril's not very good tonight, Oxley's fault.

Why would I attention seek being concerned about the way we where going?

Why should I get thrown off a hibernian message board for unfortunately being negative at a negative period?

Tonight, I'm delighted we won, delighted and I'm heading to the office for a couple a lot lot happier and I hope we have turned the corner.

What is worse, being negative or seeming negative or questioning a fellow Hibees credentials because they have a difference of opinion?

Oxley, he was okay this evening, he could have came for a couple of crosses but the goal nor the free header prior to that wasn't his fault and his kicking and awareness to keep the game flowing was better than previously. I'm guessing we are still talking about the goal keeping situation on this thread and not binning posters after all yeah?

There were no crosses at all that he should have came for

[Brightside]

There were no crosses at all that he should have came for

Combe fired in about 15 at half time. Oxley caught them all. :greengrin

[SunshineOnLeith]

SJM is genuinely gutted that Oxley didn't chuck one in the net tonight :faf:

[Danderhall Hibs]

There were no crosses at all that he should have came for

Shout from the F5 lower for him to come for one in the 2nd half - I'm not even sure it was in the 18 yard box at the time.

[Wee Effen Bee]

"Oxley, he was okay this evening, he could have came for a couple of crosses"

Which crosses? :confused: I thought we limited them to a couple of odds and sods but nothing where Oxley was found wanting. I thought his judgement was fine tonight - no flapping or real periods of indecisiveness.

[The_Horde]

Another 1 shot, 1 goal situation today though. Regardless of Oxley's performance.

I think it's not unrealistic that we should expect a keeper to pull one or two top class saves out of the bag when required now and again and I think that's what's frustrating about Oxley. He doesn't have that in him.

Bore off

[The_Horde]

As for the crosses, dunno about that. But there was a couple occasions I thought he could've alleviated pressure from the defence by coming out quick to collect balls over the top.

He had very little to do in all honesty, I don't think anyone could say he had a good or bad game.

There were a couple of guys in there blaming oxley for the goal too. You couldn't make it up!

You're right, there was....

Oxley isn't even close to being to blame for their goal, couldn't care less if it was their 1st shot or their 20th.

Hanlon clears the ball right to a Livi player despite Oxley yelling at him to leave it and he'd collect it. McGregor tries to be clever and the guy goes past him. Lewis 2nd to the cross, their number 2 could easily have scored then. Gray awful clearance right to the feet of White so scores with a brilliant finish.

He had very little to do in all honesty.

Agree with that.

[bingo70]

This threads got a bit silly now.

I'm not his biggest fan but he was fine tonight

[The_Horde]

And there it is...

TC, I've not seen the goal back and I'm not about to say he should've got it. It's just frustrating that it keeps happening.

Defence were awful in that situation. Really bad, had several Chances to get rid of it. 100% it was a defensive error.

I just wish we had the conversion rate of some of these teams, we'd be unstoppable..

[MWHIBBIES]

[Thecat23]

All goals we lose are frustrating, our defence is actually been more a problem than the keeper lately. Ox has had a few moments that any fan would question but now folk are going out their way to blame him in any way they can. I'm not saying you are but I do think until he majorly ****s up then folk need to stop this and get behind him.

[Alfred E Newman]

This threads got a bit silly now.

The only thing he had to do was pick the ball out the net.

[The_Horde]

Yeah, I often sit and think ''I wish that we had the conversion rate of Livingston...''

1 shot on target, 1 goal. 100% ratio.

[Ryan69]

Is it not 16 goals against us in the last 24 shots now however?

If this stat is correct....then God bloody help us!

The anti-Oxley brigade summed up in one post there.

Who keeps track of a stat like that? :faf:

[gaz1875]

Oxley could do nothing about the goal tonight and I am one of his biggest critics. It must have been a nightmare playing behind McGregor he looked a bag of nerves and got away with a good few errors tonight.

[Ryan69]

Who keeps track of a stat like that? :faf:

Somebody pointed it out on the match thread....id love to know if it's actually accurate or not. Though it wouldn't surprise me.

[easty]

Whether we lose 1 goal or 10 goals, Oxley is only at fault if he's made a mistake. Other teams shot to goals conversion rate means nothing on its own.

Eeeeeeeeh.....It's very important actually!

[Thecat23]

Eeeeeeeeh.....It's very important actually!

I think you've missed his point!!

Folk having a go at him for not saving only shot on target, when the shot wouldn't be saved by almost every keeper out there. If Oxley makes a mistake then you could blame him.

[GreenCastle]

No chance he could have saved the goal tonight.

Woeful defending.

Stats don't always tell the full story of what actually happened.

All goals can be prevented - Hibs outfield players need to defend better also.

This serious Oxley witchhunt is getting boring.

My only worry is giving a new youth GK a full debut for the semi final !

Agreed. Although the reserve keepers not a youth - he's 21 isn't he?

I wouldn't go pissing about with the team prior to the semi.

[Famous Fyvie]

I can confirm that when I left the ground tonight Oxley was not still in goal and had gone down the tunnel. :greengrin:greengrin:thumbsup::flag:

[bookert]

Agreed.

Personally, I think it's time for a Hibs Net pogrom. Anyone who has joined in the past month or so, who racks up several hundred unrelentingly negative posts should be punted, end of story.

Worrying that we arev wanting fans punted from the board because they have an opinion about a player, surely thats whats the board about.In the time i have been a member I have seen many threads crticising players cany remember us wanting to ban those posters.

[SunshineOnLeith]

So a 'stat' which you vaguely recall seeing someone post on a thread on here, and have no idea whether or not is true, is "shocking", "not beaten anywhere", and "contributes to our woeful period lately". Wow.

Liam Henderson has missed the target with 13 out of his last 15 shots. I just made that up.....but that is one hell of a shocking stat(if true)

Hello there, I don't use this account much but I felt I had to ask whether you meant to use the word "purge" instead of "pogrom". Not to have a go or anything but I am of Jewish descent, so that word has bad connotations for my people.

I've said since he arrived...Every week it's first shot and goal!

I don't believe that stat tobe too inaccurate...how many shots do teams have on target against us generally? 1,2,3?
