Come on you yellows (and blues)

 

[Barbadosyellow]

We're overdue something special. Today would do nicely.

 

[Symp59]

Anything ,but not a bog standard away defeat. Come on Oxford lets get a decent result on the road defend from the front ,attack with purpose and somebody put the ball in the net would take 1-1

 

[bdodwell]

I'd play Long tonight. Need some Oxford grit.

 

[jaybeachjump]

Can't wait for this one! Will be there with the boy, so hoping for a special night match atmosphere [but to be honest would probably snap my arm off for a dour 0-0...]

 

[West Oxon U’s]

 

[ECYellow]

Hard to see anything but defeat, but will be travelling in hope.

A front footed opening to the game and more minutes for Romeny would be a start.

 

[oufc1991]

Feeling positive about this one I think this could be a smash and grab 0-1

3 points a few beers happy birthday to me

 

[holdsteady]

Want a win, would take a draw, we will most likely lose. But lets all pray that this is the game we get a pretty unlikely 3 points.

Last time we played at Norwich on Sky, we beat them on a Sunday. It's on Sky again, and once again it's on a non Saturday match day - so could it - touch wood happen again some 25 years later?

3pts today with a late winner and no Molly Windley's behind us after the game smoking any big cigars celebrating a Norwich win!

COYY'S

The hat won't be there tonight ,so might be a good thing

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Need to put in a decent away performance for once and some how grind out a point. Difficult to see anything other than a routine 2-0 win for Norwich however.

Excellent news. My lower jaw can have a rest from your constant jarring. I'm starting to think you just want to dismantle my face lol.

Also, does your armchair need a makeover as it must be well worn by now?

Is Dan going?

COYY'S

A performance, by the law of averages is surely due? It’s been a miserable 4 or 5 games now.
No silliness and let’s demand a bit more from everyone involved. A win tonight and it would be almost inconceivable that we would go down from that point.

Id argue that Coventry, particularly the second half, we played really quite well, especially going forward

 

[TailsWeWin]

Beautiful weather over here in Norfolk

 

[unification]

A performance of sorts first and then any points from it are a bonus. Play like we did against Coventry in the second half and we can make a game of it.

Away at Carrow Road wasn't ever on my list of easy points so let's just see how it goes.

 

[Carpy]

Nice contrast on todays MDT

Shouldnt that be pronounced boodiful , in that neck of the woods?

 

[Sarge]

Feeling optimistic for tonights encounter- Canaries are free scoring at home, as long a Rowett sets up to win, as opposed to trying ( and inevitably failing) to play for a draw, I fancy a high scoring match with the mighty U's bringing a 2-4 win home- TG, Romeny, Harris & Shemmy with a goal apiece

a turkey shoot in Norfolk , yes please

what are you on?!!!

 

[Wicko]

I have to watch quite a bit of Norwich on tv (wife’s a fan). I think Stacey is very underrated and will cause problems down our left, as will Borja Sainz on the right. Sargeant is an obvious concern anywhere around goal. They can start slowly (much like us at times), we need to get at them early and give them a few problems as they can be vulnerable .

 

[Steve Gilbert]

what are you on?!!!

Sometimes is just best we don’t know and let @Sarge get on with it

 

[Sarge]

what are you on?!!!

an early spring morning high*, fuelled by March sunshine
(and possibly the lasting effects of a few cans of Little Ox Lucky U pale ale from last night )

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Last time we played Norwich on Sky we won, time before that, we played them on Sky and won.

Surely that means a routine win for the boys in yellow?!

Cumming
Long, Moore, Helik, Brown
Vaulks, Brannagan
Mills, Romeny, Placheta
Harris​

Hopefully not as that will be Norwich!

Hopefully not as that will be Norwich!

will it bethe Purple or off White Benson kit that we play in tonight?

 

[Robin Shater]

Not feeling confident about this one.
Please, U's, prove me wrong.
