I would be happy in that formation to have McGuigan sitting in front of a back 3 in a CDM role, Branagan and Rodrigues in front of him with Murphy and Leigh on the wings. We have to try something to get some forward impetus in to our play and if it's pissing down with rain so much the better as that would be a leveller. We may not win, but we need a performance if only for the fans whom I have the utmost admiration for travelling to Bolton in weather like we have at the moment. If we play like we did for 80 minutes against Cheltenham we will lose. I want to see us play like we did against Cheltenham in the last 10 minutes from start to finish.

And presumably bringing Long or Negru back in, in place of Stevens, to play RCB?
Other than that, this is basically just switching out Dale for Goodwin, and I'm not sure that's necessarily fair based on what we've seen from the two of them over the past few weeks......

Personally, I think the personnel we've sent out the last two games is probably our best XI at the moment.
But I'd want to see two things - I want to see RR coming a little bit deeper for the ball; I think there's been too much of a disconnect between McGuane/Cam in the middle and our front four, and it's left us with too few options other than to go long to a forward line that's not great in the air. And if anything, that's going to be exacerbated by a really good Bolton midfield. So have RR drop deeper and make it a real three in the middle and see if they can't get some passing moves going.

And then by contrast, with that extra body in the centre of the park, I want to see both Stevens and Leigh pushing forwards more from full back. They did it in the closing minutes of both halves on Cheltenham and it's when we were by far the most effective.
 
Come on lads, let's stick with the pack.
Win or draw would be great.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS 🤘
 
Just been to the ticket office and the tickets haven’t arrived yet. Could someone please let me know if they’ve been able to collect them? Cheers
 
Absolutely p*ssed off tonight to be missing my first away game in three seasons due to a total mix up in work related issues and coupled with no sales on the night in Bolton.

By 4.30 this afternoon we could have (but didn't) got away but it meant us purchasing tickets for 4 adults at lunchtime with still an outside chance of not being able to get there and then the real risk of losing the money for 4 tickets in the meantime.

Why Bolton have this policy is a mystery as I know from experience that many more northern Oxford fans would have probably made the journey if tickets were available on the night. It wasn't as if we (Oxford) were going to sell out and by surely by asking for a postcode etc would have stopped any Bolton fans of caressing any of our hands in the away section.

Oh well Bolton's loss of £104 but more importantly OUFC losing 4 more voices on the night.

COYY'S

I have absolute confidence that Des will have the boys well drilled, ready to attack, with a tactical plan that makes Guardiola look like Rix, and show these wannabes who we are. 5 nil Oxford.

That’s annoying. They’re not fan friendly

Very backward. We were hardly going to sell the away end tonight we're we?
