Brannagan's injured.

Swap him for gorrin then

 

[Dilla]

5-1 win. 5-4 over the two legs. Oxford going to Wembley again.

 

[SteMerritt]

Then JS stepping up to slot in the final penalty in the shoot-out

I'd rather not think about goalkeepers taking penalties in play-off semi-finals, thanks, bad memories...

If this is to be the end of our season, lets at least give it a real good go.

 

[Paul Cannell]

I used have nightmares about Turley shrieking like a soprano horn and the bloke that sat beside the agent shouting 'chase it!' every 2 minutes. It was like being on a bloody foxhunt.

 

[Yellows1]

4-0 Oxford, you heard it hear first, see you all at Wembley

 

[bert]

f**k me, 7.45 seems a long time away. Didn't think I'd be bothered today but excitement has started.

 

[uptheus]

Had a dream we went and won 4-0!
COYY
#oufcbelieve

And dreams rarely come true!

My prediction. 4-1, we win on pens. Taylor gets his 19th and 20th goals of the season. Henry scores a worldy and Lee a tap in. At full time it is announced Kassam has died and on his deathbed has left the stadium to a supporters Trust. Hanson scores a bicycle kick in the 89th minute to beat Lincoln in the final. Building work starts on a forth stand the following day. KR is knighted. Tiger is given a sainthood. MApp becomes my personal trainer. In a fit of passion my wife invites Rachel Riley to live with us and the three of us live happily ever after in a beautiful yellow haze.

Alternatively, Blackpool park the bus and it ends 0-0 and my wife goes to bed without even doing the washing up.

I believed you up to the Hanson bicycle kick bit!

ps I hope you get a dishwasher

Can see this going two ways and we won’t get to Wembley in either
1 We send out an attacking team might get a goal but get hit on the break end up losing 3 or 4 1
2 As I expect KR will try anc keep it tight and sneak a goal from somewhere this will suit Blackpool game ends 0 0
Hopefully I’m totally wrong and we stuff them 4 0 but as they have the best defence in the league I doubt anyone has put 4 past them

 

[Grumpy Git]

If we don’t grab the game by the scruff of the neck and attack, attack, attack from the off, KR deserves to be sacked.
We’re 3-0 down, we won’t beat a side like Blackpool on the break. Take it to them, let them resort to last gasp defending and fouls, just frickin go for it. Let the players express themselves and show what they’re capable of, no surrender!

I hope its not the latter, if we can't score against Blackpool in 4 games then Karl needs a serious look in the mirror, this is Blackpool not Man City ffs. Karl being outwitted by a coach in his first season as a football league manager. Let's hope we show a bit tonight as I won't be blaming anyone who wishes to voice their discontent at the manager and his lack of tactical know how and capabilities of building a squad that doesn't crumble after a couple of injuries.

Not me he hasn’t mentioned the 20, 30 or 40 heard shot oh and “ have we signed anyone yet “

Good point. I was just checking

 

[Oxford57]

a 4-0 Oxford victory could mean JR a@e overwhelmed by oxford supporters whose bodies couldn’t cope with the stress and shutdown , a faint noise resembling Wembley could be heard through the department

 

[bashamwonderland]

Atmos in the away end would be banging for this one - imagine the limbs if we pulled one back in the first 30 minutes

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Let's hope we salvage some pride and not lose at least tonight. Another televised humiliation could see another poor start to a season in August.

 

[Tenbury Yellow]

I'm going for 5-1. 4-0 a bit too much to ask.

 

[oufc1991]

I had a vision and after supporting Oxford for 25years I could see it happening
So we win tonight progress to the final unlikely I know BUT it’s Oxford and then in the final another unlikely thing to happen we meet Sunderland and then we lose so we have the joy and ecstasy from tonight ant boom in typical Oxford fashion we f**k up the final
