I predict....a game of two halves, 10 men in yellow for the full game (.you listening Gorrin), one keeper in pastels (hmmm) One screaming manager and a partridge in a pear tree. Other than that, who the hell knows what will happen? COYY

Edit: oh and I won £2.80 on Euromillions last night. Luck must be changing
 
What we need is a bit of old school , right out at them from the start and early goal . I’m sure they will start to fall apart easy if so. What we don’t need is a lazy start and to let them start to feel like they can take control. This is a very important game no messing about and will set it up for the rest of the season l feel .
2-9 to us 🤗
 
Reckon we should give Henry a break and stick Clare on at right mid for 20 mins at the end when we're (hopefully) a couple up...
 
a win any way it comes will do

late, late 0-1 smash n grab... with probably our 5th sub of 5 used grabbing the glory from the bench
 
Let's hope we have travelled with enough subs fit enough to play. Walsall away we had 6 not 7 on bench. Why?? Mous on bench again would be stupid. Let Elechi feature as a sub. I dread to think what the starting 11 will be. If the only change is Shodipo to the bench then I am afraid another loss looms large. Today is the time to realise the current back 5 does not work on match days. Fingers crossed for an enlightened team selection
 
This seems like the kind of fixture we need at the moment but, being Oxford, we know that the opposition being in a spot of bother no guarantee that we will prosper in a fixture. So I was wondering what, as an Oxford fan, are the kind of things that you least like to hear said before a game (not specifically this one) - ie, the things that should give us a better chance, but in fact never do. I'll start the ball rolling...
  • They've just sacked their manager
  • They've got financial problems
  • They haven't won for 10 games
  • Their best players are injured
  • Their best players are suspended
  • We've gone up early to be extra prepared for this game
  • We always do well there
  • We never do well there
Having said all that, I'll predict a 2-0 Oxford win...
That's nothing, just watch the excuses that robinson will conjure up if the untenable happens and we lose the game, and no doubt we were the better team.

As it is such is the shambles of a side that we have I would accept a 0-0 draw. The only hopeful thing is that Wigan Maybe, I stress Maybe, worse than us. As usual we can but hope.
 
If either team scores today (and that is far from a given) we have got to be first scorers. If they score first, our lot will be completely disheartened and that'll be that.
As for a prediction I think I will wait to see what the team and probable formation are before I commit myself!
 
Really need a win today and after the performance on Tuesday I think the team will be determined to do just that.
2-0 to the U’S Taylor and Elliot Moore
 
Wearing orange today. Not a big fan of wearing change kits when not necessary, a clubs identity matters.
Normally I'd agree with you. However, given the current state of our identity, a change might be EXACTLY what we need.

I'm going for an easy win, but then I always think we're going to win. That has led to a rather depressing recent set of Saturdays and Tuesdays. But that's all going to change!!
 
I’d love to see us go with a 4-4-2 shape. Desperately need some protection for the full backs as they are League 2 standard at best. Please, please start Mousinho to give a bit of leadership. Be very pleased with a score draw today
 
I`m cursed never to see us play there for various reasons!
So its another "miss" of the DW or whatever it is called these days again.
It will, seemingly, remain on my "grounds to do with us" list forever.

0-2 and break the grim statistical run...
