[Yellow River]

100% success rate at starting match day threads on the old forum, albeit just the one match.

So here goes, a new month, a new year and a New Years Day present for the OUFC faithful as the mighty yellows trounce MK 1-0.

Relegation talk is so last year, a new beginning and a new goal scorer as Napa comes off the bench to score the winner.

As we drive home with Jerome, Nick, Nathan & Rosie on the airways all is good.

Happy New Year!

Obika Mehmeti

Ruffels been below par recently, probably harsh on Martin to be dropped but Thomas definitely doesn't deserve to start.

2-0, Obika and Payne. COYY

Played both for Oxford and MK.

Season average
OUFC have 1 shot on target from every 2.29 shots They convert the shot on target into a goal every 3.41 shots on target
MKD have 1 shot on target from every 2.77 shots They convert the shot on target into a goal every 3.73 shots on target

Total shots for both teams are similar and both teams have conceded a similar number of goals.
Based on the numbers I predict a narrow OUFC win if we shoot or a draw if we try and walk it in.....

I’ll have whatever you’re drinking ?
2-2 draw

 

[dabigfella]

If the side gets it together and scraps for every ball we might (but only might) scrape a draw.

Hmm, can our utterly incompetent manager pull off a rare win... Think not, 3-1 to Dons.

We're 7/1 for relegation on SkyBet. I'm whacking some money on it if we lose again later.

What a massive game. I don't think anybody will be happy if we win, just relieved.

 

[Northstandboy]

Have we trained since Bradford? Not much time to correct our errors. But I'm confident, 3-2 to us.

We don't want to practice errors!

 

[Blox21]

Just win !!!

How can a ‘supporter’ bet on his team to get relegated - disgraceful !

Liked the idea mentioned above, of starting Mehmeti in place of Thomas, who’s been a little underwhelming for a fortnight.

Also expect the Franchise to be in some turmoil; I presume both players sent off have their bans start immediately?

I’m going with this following XI to win 3-0;

Eastwood
—
Carroll
Williamson
Mousinho
Ricardinho
—
Henry
Ledson
Ruffels
Payne
—
Obika
Mehmeti

Shearer, Martin, Thomas, Mowatt, Napa, GvK, Tiendalli

We’ve practiced our errors far too often already this season!!

 

[Oufcad30]

Don't know why but I'm thinking a 3-1 win! Obika, Ruffs and Gino

 

[Berliner]

Let's try our best to keep a clean sheet and take things from there. First 20 minutes are so important.
1-0 GvK!

 

[Finlandia]

2-1 to us today. Obika with one.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

When is Raglan likely to be fit?

Great to see how good this Mehmeti is. He played for Malmo in the CL 14/15 group stage vs Ath Madrid, Juventus and Olympiacos, W1, L5.
