[DannyW]

Think we'll scrape a 1-0 looking forward to one or two youngsters playing

 

[Concretebob]

1-1. Coventry win on pens. Kip etc have a field day.

Attendance 5,379. 750 from Coventry

 

[outsidethebox]

No idea on score but suspect attendance could be as low as 3000. Our annual excursion to the SSU tonight so please save us a couple of biscuits.

 

[Mellowyellow]

On current form, cannot see us scoring even, 0-3 to Coventry.

I think we'll get thrashed, and on Saturday, but then start getting it together and be a decent side by Christmas.

1-0, Obika. COYY

 

[Sarge]

Low attendance due to 1) disasterous start to the season 2) 0 goals scored this season 3) head coach views league cup as irrelevant.......tough game to call, heart says OUFC finally nick a win (by one late goal) with batiste motm. head says Coventry stroll it without breaking into a sweat aided by clangers from goalkeeper number 5 on oufc books

 

[Yellow River]

The mighty yellows suddenly spark to life under the lights

A disappointingly low crowd enjoy a goal fest as the Us come out on top in a 7 goal thriller.

4-3. Smith, Henry (2) Browne.

 

[unification]

Oxford 0 Coventry 2.

Sorry, folks.

James Linington is tonight’s referee.

 

[Oufc28]

Couldn't muster much enthusiasm for this. We will score however and ultimately lose 2-1. Henry the scorer.

Only you could! Miserable sod

 

[Leysboy]

3-2 win feeling positive. Then we get ourselves an away tie to Aston Villa.

Whilst that may be a romantic view of why the attendance will be low none of those points will make a difference to the attendance.

There was less then 3000 home fans this time last year when all of those points were the opposite.

I'm a season ticket holder and not going. 1st round of the cup, I reckon there are under 10 fixtures I'm paying money for to go to in this round. We are playing a team who we are playing at home again in less then a month.

We could have won the last 2 games 6 nil and it wouldn't have made a difference to me attending this fixture.

EDIT: Tough 1-0 win. Not sure who's going to play so can't pick a goal scorer.

 

[Yellow River]

Eight changes from the team that started Saturday.

Holmes & Nelson not even on the bench.

 

[Malc]

Evening all. Must win? No, but a win would help boost the confidence. So 2-0 for the mighty Yellows.
No live scores tonight unless anybody wishes score updates from any interesting games. Let me know.

COME ON YOU YELLOWS

That's a stronger team than I was expecting!

 

[Navegante]

Desperately need a good performance tonight. 3pts would be great, but would settle for just getting off the mark. COYY!
