Home Match Build Up 13-04-2021 L1 OUFC v Shrewsbury Town

[Malc]

Well after the goal feast at Crewe can the Yellows bring the total goals in 2 games to at least 10?
I don't think the Shrews will be so generous, but if we play like Saturday we should score at least 4.

 

[Scotchegg]

Let's take that confidence, that fight and that freedom to play and see where it gets us. 2 nil Oxford, Sam Long and Matty Taylor!

I'm voting for Shrewsbury just on the basis I voted for Crewe to win. I'm also making sure I wear the same pants and sit on the same sofa for this game.

After the lords mayors show. We will be bloody awful and win 1:0 with a 98th min own goal, which will be our only shot on target lol. COYY

Just corrected that for you

Will be different to Saturday and after Barkers brilliant goal he will be man marked by two but as he showed on Saturday he showed the Crewe players a clean pair of heals so he could be a danger for them which might also act as a foil so others may be able to take advantage m.

One for the nerds out there to find out.

Is this the latest date in the season that we’ve played someone for the first time? Bearing in mind we’ve played most sides twice now home and away, it seems very strange to only now be playing Shrewsbury for our first of two fixtures this season.

 

[Sarge]

home win 2-0 ... Taylor and Agyei

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Can we all finally agree that this truly is a fabled ‘must win’ game?!

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Look in all probability we won’t make the playoffs. So why not just let the guys of the leash have some fun over the remaining games and let’s see where we are in May. You never know we might just blitz those remaining games and then we will be in the playoffs. Not only that no one would want to play us. COYY

 

[Pompeyyellows]

No we will win just very ugly.

 

[QR]

It's going to be 5:0... I just don't know to whom.

Very good question! I hadn’t even clocked that we hadn’t played them yet.

 

[oufc1991]

Start the team that started Saturdays win and just let them have fun we should be to strong for Shrewsbury if we play like we did on Saturday
3-1 barker Taylor agyei

 

[Daviddidcotexile]

No idea of what to expect but hopeful we can keep winning. Lose this - or even draw - and it really is good night to the play offs

 

[WRox]

Pretty much. Need 5 wins from 6 and this is arguably the most winnable fixture left. Need to keep the momentum from Saturday as well.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Absolutely no idea.

We could play like we did for the last hour at Crewe and score a hatful (I thought that match would be a fairly dull draw!)
We could play like we did against Northampton, hardly have a shot and lose (I thought we'd win that)

But, on the basis that (on recent evidence) having our proper full backs seems to be key for us and they are back, I will go for a 2-0 win. Me predicting that does of course mean that it is the ONLY score that cannot possibly happen!

Long since given up hope in reality, but.....the Wimbledon game concerns me the most. We were fortunate to beat them first time round and they're just the kind of team that stops us.

 

[Jolteon]

3-2 win, we'll go behind but win to a last minute Josh Ruffels winner, pushing us into the playoffs. I know that last bit is physically impossible but crazy things happen when we play Shrewsbury.
