Home Match Day Thread 02/9/23 L1: OUFC v Port Vale

[Malc]

IT'S SATURDAY!

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Or long

He never was going to be on the bench. He is injured along with Browne, Thornliey & Henry.

Maybe too soon for Perkins-having individual warm up at the game.

Too soon in what way? Is he carrying an injury?

I didn't think it was a big injury - just out for a game? (Long that is)

 

[OUFC91]

Whilst the three behind Harris have played really well together the last couple of weeks there is a bit of a lack of pace there. I think with teams that are happy to sit back they may struggle to break them down.

With Mills and Edwards on the bench though this gives us some lively options if we need to change it.

Surprised not to see Perkins on the bench

 

[BrockBuster]

Brown is going to be peeved. Was clear to see when he came off against Charlton he wasn't delighted.

From Player of the Season to dropped - just goes to show how ruthless you sometimes have to be as a manager.

Long season - Brown will get plenty more games.

But against a side like Vale, who are likely to set up defensively and try and frustrate us, we need the extra attacking threat that Leigh offers.

Win or lose up The U's

I think we need 3 goals to win. We get a goal early doors, then 2-1 to us. If they get an equaliser, I can see a draw today.

Robinson was guilty of playing his mates in the team rather that picking players knocking on his door so i applaud Liam Manning for making big decisions.
There is no sentiment in a successful team..................!

Agree that there is a lack of pace however not sure how much of a problem it will be today as I expect Vale to sit back and there won’t be too much space to run into.

 

[Manorlounger]

Just spotted Danny Cowley in the directors box. Wonder what he's doing here?

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Not a great start. Our passing lacks fizz and forward momentum and Negru caught on the ball in a dangerous position which was nearly a goal

 

[stokeu]

I would love to see us top on the 19th September.

You and me both as i am the big six zero that day….. but I will settle for a big gift from OCC

 

[Osleroad]

Blimey this commentary is making me a bag of nerves already!

 

[BigCrompy]

A whole 8 minutes it's taken...

...for Greg Leigh to become my favourite Oxford player of all-time.

The guy is a gun!

 

[Sarge]

Signal especally s**t at the breeze block today :-/

 

[Sarge]

UP THE MANOR!

 

[Sarge]

Dirty fuckers

 

[Jolteon]

McGuane, on current form, is the best player in League 1.

 

[UTM]

It is all bit slow , is it not ?
