Home Match Build Up 03/10/2023 L1: OUFC v Shrewsbury

[BristolOx]

Excited for this. Shrewsbury haven't started very well.
I wouldn't be averse to some changes as I imagine it'll be a completely different challenge to Stevenage.



Reckon I'd also be happy for us to switch it up again and go attacking. Something like this -

Like that. Long for Stevens though.

 

[Jster]

Shrewsbury apparently have gone the whole of September (4 matches) without scoring a league goal.

Either/or for me. Same with Bodin or Rodrigues. Any of the wingers. Even McEachran if McGuane or Bran need a rest. 9 games in, I really love this squad.

I agree a lot with @BristolOx opening post.

At home, against a side we should beat, three days after an energy sapping away win. Ring the changes, go attacking. I’d play:

Beadle
Stevens Negru Thorniley Leigh
Smyth McEachran
Rodrigues
Mills Harris Murphy​

That forward line looks frighteningly quick.

Drop Brannagan and McGuane? The heartbeat of the team? Absolutely dominating opponents and giving us the platform to excel? Both fully fit, playing well and absolutely integral to what we do?

That is f**king mental.

Seriously?
No way will Manning drop Moore and Brannaghan AND McGuane

Yeah, hopefully get them off early of things go our way. We're threatening to give someone a good spanking.

Insane. They’re professional sportsmen and the heart of our team ffs…Unless they’re injured, they start.

Stolen from elsewhere:

 

[bdodwell]

Keep changes to a minimum. Win games while on a roll and bag the points.

Shrewsbury apparently have gone the whole of September (4 matches) without scoring a league goal.

Matt Taylor - who may still have a home in Denchworth, Oxon - is under a bit of pressure.

 

[OxfordBoy]

I predict a formation and team that no one accurately predicts, playing Negru and Thorniley as inverted wing backs is my guess for the biggest surprise

4-1 win

Firstly no-one is being ‘dropped’. They’re being rested, rotated.

Secondly, how many goals do you think Shrewsbury have scored in their last 6 games? I’ll give you a clue, they’ve conceded 8…

Finally, I know Manning won’t do it, I just said I would. Luckily I’m not the manager (but I’m still confident that side would beat Shrewsbury at home…)

They have 2 weeks off after Saturday, so doubtful any player will be rested this week.

 

[Sarge]

home win - ive a feeling itll be a closer than expected encounter - 2-1 (all) late goals in the 2nd half

 

[Leysboy]

Same starting eleven as Stevenage.

Then I’d change it slightly on Saturday.

 

[Foley]

Then I’d change it slightly on Saturday.

I reckon that Stevenage was a 'horses for courses' selection based on how Stevenage play and I would be surprised if Manning doesn't return to his favoured formation.

 

[oufc1991]

5-1 I'm on abit of a run with this ( give generally means 3)

Beadle
Stevens Moore thorniley Leigh
Maguane branagan
Tyler Bodin Murphy
Harris

Take Tyler off for mill's on the hour , Harris off for G,OD , Bodin off for Rodriguez

 

[OxfordNondie]

Mills and Murphy are must starters for Tues
Probably back 4
Not sure why people still pick Bodin as Harris must start.
