Home Match Day Thread 16/10/2021 L1: OUFC v Plymouth Argyle

[Foley]

Ah I see.
Although we have scored 2 fewer than them and gave a game in hand.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Considering the fact that we've won 8 and drawn 2 of our last 10 home league games would suggest that we're consistently very good at home.

Don't tempt fate Scotchy!

 

[Foley]

Does anybody know how Plymouth set up?
I read that they play 3 at the back.
Against Wednesday we dominated midfield until Kane went off. If he is fit hopefully we can do the same and Holland, Whyte, Forde, Sykes ( whoever plays as the wide men upfront) can cause them problems from wide areas
Maybe not the best time to play them but we are at home and if we ate on it from the off, I can't seevwhy we shouldn't win.

Can't make the game today, laid up in bed with man flu

Absolutely gutted.

Confident we can win this today, would be a real statement if we do.

A nice 3-0 win would certainly cheer me up...

COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!

Hell of a strong line up, cambran and kane are looking great together. I fancy whyte to get a couple today

I like the selection - I think this is our strongest XI with maybe Sykes the unluckiest to miss out. I’m optimistic the worst we’ll see today is a good game between 2 sides that will try and play and I’m just thankful the internationals are over . What a drag they are…

Here’s to a win but great to be back.

If the above is true - will Gavin Whyte ever play on the right for us?!

I would have had McNally for Gorrin on the bench. Apart from that happy, glad Winnall doesn't just come straight back in.

Good to see Whyte actually starting on the right. Sykes is unlucky, if he could play on the left then he'd probably be in ahead of Holland at present.

Very strong attacking bench too.

Surely Henry and Whyte should be swapped in that formation.

Oxford Mail says Whyte is in the 10, with Henry on the right. I’m sure they’ll rotate in the game.

Whyte seems an odd player to play ten, not really a passer but his pace will cause defences trouble on the break. He won’t track back much though…

Surely Whytes best asset is his pace... will that be a factor playing in the 10 role?

Exciting line up. Let's hope we don't do an England and under deliver when the team looks great. COYUs

 

[Eaststanding]

This could be a very entertaining game with plenty of goals.
Or both teams cancelling each out.
Got to love our line up though, strongest for some time.
