Time to end a couple of runs:







Let's get behind the lads and hope for the best.

I think this season we are going to win more games on the road than we did last season so tonight we will follow up on our last away game and win 1-2

Going into this in reasonable nick, only lost 1 in 4. Cannot possibly be as bad as last season there. QPR due a loss.
Lancashire x 2 and a Campen.

 

[Hackney Jack]

I am going with a friend tonight, really looking forward to it, and I can see us wanting to play more on the front foot, like at Bristol City.

I agree about our away matches could well be a source of some valuable points.

We always make a good noise there.

1-1, or 0-2 to us.

COYY

 

[UTM]

After Saturdays second half , we need to be up for this game. Will be backed well by us fans!
I'm going for 1-2 to us and A Bristol city type game.

 

[Sarge]

1-2 away win

Forget about the footy for a minute, where are people drinking before the match?

 

[Gregortheox]

3 of us noisy buggers are on our way to Westfield shopping centre at around 2pm, few beers, walk to the ground, make a racket, and I fancy us to get something!

"Oxford United are winless in their last 10 league visits to QPR (D3 L7) since a 2-1 victory in December 1969.#OUFC | #QPR"

Oh FFS!! Are we ever gonna get a break against these guys? I mean, I was 14 when beat them at Wembley and that was a thoroughly amazing day that has always stayed with me. But, come on - we need a win tonight.

 

[unification]

Just make a better account of ourselves than we did in both of the fixtures against them last season. Both of the QPR fixtures were in the top five awful performances of last season (WBA away and Middlesbrough at home also making appearances).

As always in the Championship, I expect the worst and hope for the best!

Afternoon tea in John Lewis ?

I think they were actually our two worst performances of the season given that QPR weren't much to write home about. As someone wrote elsewhere here, the away game was barely League Two standard.

 

[dabigfella]

The result depends entirely on which United team turns up. Going for a 0-0 draw myself.

The away game was dreadful all round but for the home game they had lots of injuries with hardly any forwards fit and played several small nippy players that we couldn't deal with. Gary was out-tacticked, at least that manager has gone (who have they got now?).

I might have missed this in another thread, so apologies if so. Can anyone recommend the best car park at Westfield to use tonight? It doesn't seem that clear online and a bit worried about my car getting stuck in there over night. Cheers.

I used to park there for work until recently - I'd try and get in the main car park underground or multi-story but check the closing time if you are parking under John Lewis. That car park sometimes closes earlier - I got stuck in that one overnight once. The main car parks are open until really late for people using the cinema and restaurants.

Hope those sticks are plastic and collapsible.

Rumour has it that Pep Clotet is considering them for his next team (wherever that may be).

 

[windmill]

Rangers had some top players in the 70s. Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles and Phil Parkes to name just three. Bit too early in time for some on this forum but they were quality all the same......happy with a point tonight.

Exactly, a better account than last season and a response to second half at the weekend. Everything else will come as it comes.

Going for a 1-1 draw with a CamBran freekick.

First clean sheet of the season in the first of 3 straight 1-0 wins.

 

[Marston Road Yellow]

They’re very confident on their forum of a big win. # teamslikeoxford

Clean sheets? 3 of them? You'll be adding penalties into the mix next...

 

[Marked Ox]

Hope those sticks are plastic and collapsible.

Too mobile for a Pep team.

Too mobile for a Pep team.

It's a cropped picture, the full shot shows they've just passed Tom Bradshaw.

Now that is ridiculous.

 

[DanC]

And yeah we haven't won there since 1969, but we have beaten them in (north) west London more recently than that I seem to recall.
