Home Match Build Up 19-9-2023 EFL Trophy: OUFC v MK Dons

[Foley]

So a good opportunity for some back up players tomorrow.

For anybody going it is a 7 O' Clock kick off.

 

[Manorlounger]

We'll be there.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Also another chance for Harris to get some game time while he is suspended? Or should we give Perkins a sensible amount of game time to see what he can do?

Wonder whether they might both start with Perkins playing as the ten.

What about Woltman?

 

[Sarge]

ridiculous having a 7pm ko... makes it even harder for those going to the game to get there in time for ko

especially given that the ring road has been really busy until gone 7 the past week or so

Im not overly bothered TBH about the result, though a win would best best, and keep the winning momentum going ready for tabletopping Exeter ( with Yanic Wildschut) on Saturday.

I reckon Perkins will get a run out, along with a few other squad players too

 

[RyanioBirdio]

What about Woltman?

On the wing with Goodrham on the other side and Josh Murphy doing a cracking job of cutting the half time oranges.

Could be Woltman over Perkins, but if he isn’t even going to get a start for the reserves in a competition that he would’ve played in regularly for his parent club, you would have to ask why he was brought in at all. As would Leeds.

 

[ThatSlopesATwelfthMan]

Guess this will come down to whether keeping Harris playing through his suspension is more important than getting Perkins a start up front. Personally would like to see him and Woltman in action. Get the feeling we're taking the Pizza quite seriously this year.

I think the board is particularly interested in getting to Wembley given the ongoing stadium situation.

To demonstrate the level of support?

 

[RyanioBirdio]

To demonstrate the level of support?

Yep. Nothing like 30,000+ fans turning up at Wembley Stadium for a nationally televised game to showcase the potential of a club and the need to help it flourish. Regardless of the land situation being discussed by the council tomorrow, the planning and approval process will take many months beyond that. Even if the land is purchased there is no obligation from Cherwell to allow a stadium to be built on it.

A cup final that sees tens of thousands of people turning out would be an excellent bonus, and a very useful justification as to why a stadium with a larger capacity than the wind tunnel is necessary.

 

[BigAlan]

Yup going from here.

This is a puzzling one. If I were Leeds I’d be a bit miffed about his lack of time on the pitch.
Presumably LM knows what he’s doing - but I’d really like to see how good he is (Perkins, not Manning )

For me, having no sponsor this time around and the cup just named the EFL trophy it does seem to me to have a much better ring to it & seeing this will be our last chance to lift it lol.

COYY'S

Of the 12 EFL Cup games tomorrow night 9 are at 19:00. Very odd.

 

[CCYellow]

To be fair, they can't kick off too late, otherwise the Premier League kids will miss their bedtime.

 

[Chippy]

If we’re really go for it in this competition then 18-1 are unbelievable odds and worth a few quid or more surely?

Perkins arrived late in the window and to date isn’t good enough for the first eleven( Manning on Rad Ox Sat evening )

Is that so our fans can chant "Our new stadium is bigger than this"?
