Away Match Day Thread +++ 15/09/2018 Wycombe W v OUFC match day thread +++

Perhaps Nelson would be more likely to sign a new deal if we werent second bottom and dogshite.

Just a thought Robbo.
 
Luckiest man in the squad - Brannigan - poor all season

Broadly I’d agree (Hanson coming back next week & Shandon’s form makes things interesting)...but to defend Branno somewhat this is a tough system for diminutive CM’s to play — and he was also excellent at Sunderland (in my opinion)
 
Didn't Gazza Ainsworth apply for the vacant OUFC job? Say what you want about the lad, he got promotion last season (when the Cowley Bros & Tisdale didn't) and his budget is probably half of what KR has at his disposal. He certainly gets value for money out of his team.

Are KR & Derry actually in the dugout for this one? As others have mentioned, they'll need to ignore Ainsworth's touchline antics although I can see them walking straight into his trap(s)...

We'll need to play with a similar tempo & intensity as Sunderland to get the M40 bragging rights today. I'm going for 1-1. COYY!
The interesting thing about Ainsworth is that despite his reputation of being a nasty so and so who’s teams know all about the dark arts, he was actually quite a cultured attacking midfielder/winger in his day. Not too dissimilar to a Ricky Holmes. Maybe it’s a case of cutting his coat to suit his cloth at Wycombe instead of trying to make players do things they’re not comfortable with. It gets results, something certain other managers could learn something from..? As for the touch line antics, I wouldn’t give a toss what the manager was doing if it wound up the opposition dugout and help gain an advantage. Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho have made careers out of it.
 
Be nice if the Irish lucky charm will come up with a couple of goals and we go on an unbeaten run afterwards. We need to start, sooner rather than later, climbing the table asap.

COME ON YOU YELLOWS
 
Afternoon folks, back to normal today. Hope the real Oxford United turn up today and give the much needed 3 points. 0-2 to the mighty Yellows.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS
 
Sounds like they are having some financial issues, which spites the whole not giving us that many tix. "Banking on cup runs"
 
Without wanting to say something too nice about Wycombe, the cheesey wonderful-ness of whacking out Motorhead’s Triple H/WWE theme is quite fun...

This won’t be 0-0. With Whyte, Holmes and Henry playing I think we’re good for two goals. Very good start
