Away Match Day Thread 02/01/2021 L1 Burton Albion v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

So it's the first game of 2021, let's hope we can carry on our good run in this year!

I’m with you there.
Looking forward to it.

We’ll come out swinging, 8-0 in the first half, then in the second half we’ll look like a primary school b-team, they’ll get back to 8-7 and we’ll have a final tense 15 minutes where we wake up again and hold on for the win. Kelly will score all our goals.

Well the game just got 10x harder due to their manager news. Get out of there with a scrappy 1-0 win and I’ll be happy

Very hard to predict this one, COYY

Game viewing kit at the ready

Merseyside based Peter Wright takes charge of today’s game.The last Oxford Utd game he took charge of was at the Stadium of Light , August 2019. It finished Sunderland 1-1 Oxford and he awarded the Black Cats a second half pen. This season he has shown 54 yellow cards and one red in 16 matches.

Appointed to the EFL list in 2018.

Jimmy Hasselbaink did very well at the Brewers first time around.Big striker Lewis Akins is the only player remaining at the Pirelli
Stadium from JFH’s first spell in charge.

Ah the classic 'Bottom of the league with a new manager' vs OUFC. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Oxymoron]

Doesn't take charge until Monday, bit like the trip to Lincoln when MApp was appointed......

 

[Lincoln.yellow1]

6-0 away win then...........

The only problem with this prediction is Kelly is suspended!

Damn. Alright - Long will score them all.

Hopefully our recent form will continue but I am worried about the new manager bounce so I'd be happy with a point to keep our unbeaten run going.

This is one of three games where it is acceptable to wear one of the away kits this season!

As an aside, I don't think the appointment of Jimmy will help them in the long run. He had success there with a team that Gary Rowatt had built when he went to QPR and had to build his own team he was found out.
