[ZeroTheHero]

Ten quid for a night in Crawley in a tarnished competition - a game made even more meaningless because we have already already qualified for the next bit and they can't?

Let me think about that...

 

[BigAlan]

Absolutely no interest in this game at all.

 

[gingerox]

Stevens
Long Jones Moore Berkoe
Sykes Sole Baptiste
Hall Agyei Forde

Think that would be enough 1st teamers to avoid any fines?
0-4, Hall x2, Agyei + Sykes

I would go with something like that.
On the bench Lopes, Lofthouse, and some of the other young players

Id be tempted to 'blood' the prolific young Smith , for 20 mins or so off the bench

 

[CaptainOx]

Are any of the lads who got pro deals in the summer likely to get a a look in?
Sade, Berkoe, Allardyce, Heap, McCreadie, Crooks etc?

 

[OX14]

I get playing the youth to give them a bit of experience but the first team have not got a game until Southend which is 12 days away. So I could see robbo naming a strong line up in this.

Aye. I'll be surprised if Mackie doesn't play a part.

 

[NottsYellow]

Did Agyei appearing as sub for 2 minutes yesterday count towards the rule of certain number of first teamers?

probably

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Will there be more than 300 watching the game ? Surely a candidate for the lowest crowd to witness a U’s first team competitive match.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Played for both includes Dannie Bulman ( currently the oldest pro.in the EFL aged 41 in January), Jamie Cook, Wes Thomas,
Tyrone Barnett, Jon-Paul Pittman, Josh Payne, Jake Wright and Craig McAllister.

Yeah but they only played on Sunday, that’s not enough recovery time!

 

[Lincoln.yellow1]

Two lincoln yellows travelling down for this crucial match, A MUST WIN GAME.....!
Its the beauty of booking a holiday (over the international break) and flying out of Gatwick on a Wednesday morning only to realise we play Creepy Crawlies on the Tuesday night, so may as well kill two birds with one stone....
Agreed it could be the lowest crowd ever to see OUFC play a competitive match however what else is there to do in Crawley on an evening waiting to go on a cruise around Cyprus, Turkey, Crete and Israel......!
COME ON YOU YELLOWS...........!

 

[tonto]

Seems so hard to get knocked out of this cup! Might we see another epic meaningless penalty shoot out like chelsea the other year?

Not that hard, Crawley have managed it after only two games ?

This is about the only valid reason to attend this fixture.

Great planning ! ?

Nico Jones to captain the U’s at Crawley Town tonight.

I like the trivia thing that Jones has to do. It shows that the club really is looking at player development very individually.

 

[Dolly]

Mous playing along side Nico Jones and I expect it to be a reasonably strong XI. Going for a solid 2-0!
The fact that Jones is going to captain the side at 17 has given me a little more interest in it, so I'll be keen to see how he gets on.

 

[Essexyellows]

Helps him grow up, creates the team bond and so much more. Really like the player management approach kudos to KR for that.

Aye. Seems a really positive approach. I bet Faz enjoys telling him when he knows the bit of trivia.

 

[OX18]

It will be a bit draughty sat in the tent covered stand with the canvas flapping behind you, unless they have improved that area. Been a while since we’ve been there. My last visit was a 5. 1 win Not sure but think somehow , I’ll give it a miss. A repeat of the score would be good though, just for putting one over them.

Why would you pay £10 for rubbish I follow footage when you can listen to the lads on radio Oxford for free ?

only if you're within the rad ox FM broadcast area .... digital radio is 'embargoed' during live matches ( even though people have paid for the funding of bbc !!!)
