Away Match Build Up 11/8/2021 Burton Albion v OUFC Carabao ( EF League) Cup

[Sarge]

be handy if the U's can hand out another battering ( like the two in the league last season) to the Brewers..... though a 0-1 win would do me, to get into the winning habit

referee is Seb Stockbridge

he last officiated an Oxford game in the 2-3 away win at Shrewsbury in the 2019-2020 season ( in which he gave out 4 yellows and one red card) he also refereed the home game V Doncaster (3-0 win) home game that season

He didn't ref any of our matches in the 2020-2021 season... he officiated 31 games last season and gave a total of 100 yellow cards and 4 reds

His first match this season was Rotherham's 2-0 win over Plymouth , in which he gave 2 yellow cards

I think we should take this game seriously, and use it as an opportunity to get our midfield set up sorted for the weekend! My 11 would be as follows:
After Saturday, it’s glaringly obvious that we need physical players in midfield, and McGuane and Gorrin certainly provide that. Henry was poor on Saturday, and I think Sykes will start against Charlton, so I expect him to be rested. I liked what I saw from Bodin on Saturday, so this game is a good chance to get some extra minutes in his legs!

I like that side, although I would give Agyei a start in for Taylor or Whyte. I'd like to think he'd be fired up to show Robbo why he needs to be starting.

Ageyi has to start.

 

[Sarge]

Ageyi has to start.

Think Id prefer Agyei to start

The lineup tomorrow will depend largely on which of those players who didn't start on Saturday ate actually fully fit.

Are gorrin and/or long up to it yet, or mcguane for that matter? Winnall or bodin to start? Is Holland out of isolation/recovered?

Do we give McNally and/or Eastwood a start or do we allow the first choice another game to bed in?

With all this in mind, I reckon we might see the same XI again

 

[Jolteon]

I'd use this as an opportunity to get minutes into the wider squad, especially those still coming back from isolation. Think we'll give Easty the start too. Shame this game can't be streamed because Sky is the devil.

Easty
Long Moore Thornily Seddon
Gorrin
McGuane CamBran
Agyei Winnall Holland

Hoping we do well in the cup, never usually to fussed but a nice away day somewhere long overdue.

 

[Hackney Jack]

Anyone know how many tickets have sold so far?

Did the club email say it's the Papa John's Trophy game Wednesday??

 

[Coffin dodger]

It does indeed

Thanks.

I don't know for sure but the Bolton ticket article says Sainsbury's for that game.
I'm not sure why it would be different for Burton.

 

[mighty yellows]

That makes sense.
Thanks.

As @Robie has said, the coach stops at the Sainsbury’s bus stop on the Bicester Road, en-route to the A34 Northwards to the M40

“We’re very bare-bones when it comes to the back four, but our front three and our midfield three will be strong.”

Pretty much a review of every squad we’ve had under KR.
