Findlay must come back in .

 

[oufc1991]

I think we will keep a clean sheet I think we will score at least two I think one of their players will be sent off I can 100% guarantee Krob will waffle on in his interview after the game

Muck and nettles. Jumpers for goalposts. Spirit of Mad Dog.

If we don’t win we’ll take the ball home.

Oxford United 2 Bristol Rovers 0.
(Yes, we will keep a clean sheet.)

 

[Sarge]

play Findlay and get a clean sheet, play O'Donkor and score

its not too much to ask for both

2-0 home win

SImple. Must win!

But unlikely

 

[JOHN BOY]

ODonkor hatrick today.

2-0 home win

A hat trick for O’Donker today so he has to be included either from the off or as a sub.

 

[Yellow River]

We could really do with Mousiniho and Taylor either playing or in and around the matchday squad.
A game for experienced players.

Get as many of them onto the pitch as you can and flood the midfield. 3-5-2.

We need some ‘experienced heads’ on the pitch, therefore Baldock, Henry, Findlay, Long all need to be involved.

Browne as a 10? Surely not. He's shown time and time again he's very wasteful when played there as he's a poor decision maker. Constantly wants to beat another man or smash one in from 25 yards. He needs to be out wide where he only needs to think about beating his man and getting the ball across.

The 3 behind O’Donkor would be fluid without set positions. All 3 could rotate.

 

[Canterbury exile]

Bate has been our best player most games

 

[joshua]

SImple. Must win!

Home many must wins is that in the last 5 games, so if it’s a must win and we lose what happens

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Given that GoD has scored 8 goals in 4 games (albeit at youth level) surely it's worth giving him a go - at least he knows where the goal is!

 

[Swaby39]

No real change from my thoughts after Cambridge. But I would play G’OD purely as he’s the only one at the club finding the net regularly at some level of the game. But seems even he could be on KR’s naughty list given his lack of involvement, who knows. If not included on Saturday I think he’s another we can cross off.

CAM a tough choice. Either one of those would offer something for us. Not a difficult decision to drop Joseph or Smith as both are ineffective, currently, so time to try something else.

Think we all know Bodin is straight back in this team even with a stretcher strapped to his back.

O’Donkor would offer far more than Smith both in technique and physicality.

I think playing God in the youth team was a good idea by someone - he gets minutes, he gets goals, he gets to see how his game has improved, he gets confidence - while all the time his teammates get to benefit from having him in the side, win games, progress in the cup and see where their careers could go next.

I very much doubt this one is a KR fallout

 

[Mellowyellow]

Regardless if we play like Brazil, nothing must change.
KR OUT!

 

[TailsWeWin]

Well, I’ve been far too optimistic with my predictions (I thought we’d manage a draw at Cambridge ) so …. Back to reality. We will lose again and the ostriches will be out in force maintaining we’ve improved, we’ll never get relegated and - anyway, Hey, aren’t there four teams below us who are worse ….so we’re safe with Robinson.
The man himself will, of course insist he’s the right person to progress the club. Kevin will phone into Radox and agree, and we’ll go on as we were.

Sliding into relegation.

Footnote: NO, A DRAW IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
