Tough game and the start of a tough week. Hoping we can cause an upset today and I'm sure we can if we really get behind our lads.

That's one way to increase your post count.

I don't think a home League win against Millwall would, in any way, constitute 'an upset'.

 

[Sarge]

Home win in blustery conditions, 2-1

Deleted. Not sure what happened there!

If Brannagan doesn't make it then we need BDK to have the game of his OUFC career so far.

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

Brannagan was doing small sprints at the Open Day on Tuesday depends whether he had any reaction after training Thursday and Friday.
Just as important is the right back position, I love Sam Long but up against some wingers in this league he struggles. When is Ter Avest back?
Also at the Open Day I thought Romeney looked very sharp, hopefully he will make the bench

 

[Emilio]

Can't watch today, so will be watching the match replay in full tomorrow on OUTV instead, while the Mrs bakes me a birthday cake. Expect me to add very delayed reactions and rants to key match moments in this thread.

Now to turn off notifications on all sports apps, and beg mates to not update me with the score.

We preview today's game, plus did more interesting things like remember Joey Beauchamp's lesser-known best moments, plus discuss living in a house with Paul Reece and Andy Melville with John Narbett. It's very funny. You are my Oxford: coming in your eyes here: or in your ears here:

This may be good news:

This may be good news:

I may be prejudiced, but I suspect a venn diagram of protestors against asylum seekers and Millwall supporters would be a perfect circle.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I don't think a home League win against Millwall would, in any way, constitute 'an upset'.

In their last four games though they’ve got 12/12 points, scoring eight and conceding just the one goal. They’re certainly in form.

 

[TobyDavis34]

It’s a big week for us. Milwall, Stoke at home, then West Brom away.

These sort of weeks, are kind of mini-competitions in my mind. There’s 9 points on offer but Milwall and Stoke are flying high, whilst the Baggies were doing OK before they lost to Watford and Ipswich.

Any point today is a good one. If we finish the week, after 3 games, with 4 or 5 points it’s been a decent week.

Let’s get behind the boys today and make some noise, if we start well, we could get a result today.

How good the teams are has no bearing on the match, we want to argue about how big Oxford United are.

 

[Toe knee]

2.0 home win...

 

[Yellowecky]

This will be a difficult game against one of the in form teams and given our inability to put in a 90 minute performance am forecasting a draw:

Oxford United 1 - Millwall 1.

 

[JerryL]

I dont think we should be predicting scores, I think we should be predicting which half we're gonna play well in
Good first half performance, but a bit scrappy for the first 10 mins, and then a frustrating 2nd half

 

[werthersoriginal]

*Shrugs* no idea of the score, Millwall are going well but we know we can be either great or feeble, often in the same match.

 

[DanC]

Can you be optimistic for a draw?

Matt is.

 

[bazzer9461]

Just passed the George a coach of what looks like all Milleall not sure if they’ve been refused entry but a few old bill there

While others are indulging in self-promotion, allow me to do the same!

[Jaboysmith]

I’d be pleased enough with a draw today, Millwall are flying at the minute, and other than Bristol City, I’ve not seen us play 90 minutes of mid-top level championship football.
1-1
