the mighty U's back in action after an enforced layoff... away to a club that have had a bit of an Indian sign over us .... who are managed by the self touted man with the best footballing brain, Sol Campbell

Although still not quite back to full strength , I fancy a narrow away 3pts, 1-2, Henry and Taylor sharing the spoils, with well over 1k in the travelling support roaring the U's on to (another) away win
 
I want a win won’t predict think we will and roll on 15 unbeaten, but let’s not forget they’re the current whipping boys
 
I can’t shake that nagging feeling about this one. They’re proper s**t this year and yet ...

Treat them like the banana skin they could be and get the job done.
 
Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Mous Long
Forde Gorrin Baptiste
Henry Taylor Fosu​

Glad to see the lads back in action after what feels like an eternity!

Big game, bit of a bogey team for us, but we've got so much momentum at the moment, that I'm feeling pretty confident.

Forde is very useful on the ball, and Robbo clearly feels he can do a job at RB, so maybe it would be a good opportunity to try him on the right of midfield, with Brannagan out, which would allow Henry to push further forward, and strike up the old partnership with Cadden again.

Can't wait!

Always a worry after a lay off that it will take a while to get back up to speed.
Nevertheless, I expect us to be right bang in their faces from the off. They are there for the taking if we work hard and I feel that we should run out comfortable winners for a change. 1-4, Taylor x2, Fosu and Cadden.

0-1, Taylor
 
Surely you have to be confident about this one (in as far as you can ever be that way about a two horse race!). We haven't lost in 14, score freely, have some influential players back after injury and have had a bit of time to rest and recuperate. Southend on the other hand have not won a game at home (drawn 1, lost 7) and have shipped 26 goals in those 8 games - that's three per game!

3-0 Fosu, Taylor (2)

Bogey side, new manager, they’ve got to win some time. 1-0 home win! Or are we not that Oxford any more?
 
At one point, Bolton couldn't beat anyone. Their chef couldn't even beat an egg. They held us to a 0-0 draw.
Bearing that in mind: Southend United 1 Oxford United 3 (Fosu, Taylor Dickie) Att 6009 and 897 Yellows fans.
Gorrin and Dickie will get into a fight at half-time, over who gets to take penalties. Eastwood will sprain his pointing finger, after trying to pick a reluctant bogey. Their main end will be closed down before the match; not for safety reasons, but because it looks crap. A dog will run onto the pitch. The ref will send Dickie off, after he plays 'slap the slaphead' on his bald head. Tiger will have the shock of his life, when he sees a man who looks identical to him, in the club bar, before the match. He won't realise that he's looking at himself in a full length mirror. A massive gust of wind will blow a hot dog stand over. One of the floodlights will sway like crazy in the wind. The scoreboard will malfunction, showing a fly-on-the-wall type documentary of Nigel Farage being secretly taped in the toilet. The plastic Cockey owner of their snack bar will sell jellied eels and pie and mash and it will go down surprisingly well with the Yellows fans. Our lot will be surprised by the Cockney-type grub and start singing Cockney songs, like 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' and 'Doing the Lambeth walk'. Their manager will resign after the match, because he's home-sick. That just about does it for me. COYY
 
5 days off for the majority of the players, I know what I would have done with 5 days off, jumped on a plane somewhere with some sun and lounged around with a few beers....
let’s hope our players have been sensible and had the rest and recovery they deserve......!
