Away Match Day Thread 05/9/2023 EFL Trophy: Northampton Town v OUFC

[West Oxon U’s]

Fascinated to see how this plays out this evening. Lots to consider, Murphy at left back, Woltman as a 10, Franklin starting. Lots to consider.

 

[Jster]

Is Franklin not a centre back? In which case perhaps it's a back 3? Although I struggle with the rest of the formation if so!

In that case Mills would be more of a wing back? But perhaps this is ‘old thinking’.

Only alternative would be Murphy and Mills as wing backs and edwards as a second striker alongside Harris

 

[Joey]

Looking at those players then maybe Mills at right back? He started at wing back, Thorniley has played left back and then McEachran, Smyth, Woltman, Harris, Edwards and Murphy are in natural positions at least

 

[TailsWeWin]

Could be a few goals (from both sides)….

 

[Andy1505]

Franklin at right back, Murphy left back, Negru and Thorniley in the middle.

 

[Foley]

Manning apparently confirmed Franklin is RB and Murphy LB
RO suggested that 4 2 3 1 is the likely Oxford United identity and is the default formation

 

[southcoastyellow]

I assume Henry is injured?

 

[Foley]

I assume Henry is injured?

Yes alongside Long, GOD.

Is that Josh Murphy at left back, or a youth teamer also called Murphy?

Just got in - thought it was. 7.45 kick off. That's a starting 11 that I wasn't expecting. If Murphy wants to prove himself, what better way than to have a go from left back.


Come on Oxford

COME ON YOU YELLOWS

Shoe army....

Does RadOx sound weird to anyone else on iFollow? Sounds like I'm listening through an old radio, it's almost nostalgic

 

[tonto]

What time is kickoff?

 

[Jolteon]

Oh Murphy, you did so well then completely fucked it

I reckon they've left the aeriel at home and are using their mobiles

 

[Royalstandard74]

Never want to see Murphy in an OUFC shirt again.
