[ttg17]

Important game this. Really, really should be a win.

I'm bringing a few non-OUFC supporting pals along, many of whom last came to an Oxford match at Charlton away a couple of years back (3-2), so their expectations are high. I feel they'll be met. We're due to give someone a trouncing, and Tranmere's only win this year came at home to Bolton. They're not great.

4-1 Yellows. Really not sure about team, but I trust KR to get it back. I also hope we don't rush Taylor back, so a comfortable cushion going into the last 20 mins would be welcome.

3-1 home win , all the goals in the second half

Last league encounter in Oxford - U’s 2-0 Tranmere 2014-2015

Soul searching from KRob.

risking a woosh ... you know we're at home tomorrow, and its a 3-1 U's win (with all 4 goals in 2nd half) that's my prediction @Malc ?

 

[West Oxon U’s]

PLAYED FOR BOTH : John Aldridge, Georges Santos, Paul McLaren, Phil Whitehead, Junior Brown and

Wasn't that early September too?

1 nil victory in this one. Henry. Missed pen for Rovers.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I’ve listened to Tiger’s plea and brining along the other half for her first game of the season to this one. Hoping for a win to kickstart our season.

 

[TailsWeWin]

I hate it when people start predicting big wins. It’s usually the precursor to a frustrating afternoon.

 

[Gary Baldi]

We need pace in the team tomorrow, a little more cover in the midfield and to take our chances early on. The tough run is theoretically over, the players and management need to prove it.

 

[BristolOx]

First home game I’m going to miss because of work. So you can naturally expect us to win 8 - 0

 

[Essexyellows]

Is it a "must win" ? ? ?

PLAYED FOR BOTH : John Aldridge, Georges Santos, Paul McLaren, Phil Whitehead, Junior Brown and
Marvin Robinson.

No reviewing VAR with that referee.

Mrs Lounger and I are on our jolly in Crete, will be lstening in via ifollow and enjoying a few lemonades on the roof terrace. The neighbours will either be treated to a few "FFS" or, we hope, some "Yellow, Yellow!" Either way they won't have a clue! (one lot are Dutch and the other we don't know!) Two hours ahead here as well so late afternoon kick off and then off to town for dinner.

The usual tripe. Moussaka and chips.

 

[Scotchegg]

4 - 0 Oxford. Pretty much the same starting line up that we've played this season, but more focus, fight and everything will fall into place. 2 goals from corners (Dickie and Ruffels) and 2 from open play (Fosu and Mackie/Taylor).

Yup. Litre of house wine 4 Euros, it's causing real hardship!

1 nil victory in this one. Henry. Missed pen for Rovers.

Embarrassing levels of optimism. Get your head out the sand. We’re dooooooooooomed!

How much did your visa cost?

What! Tripe, Moussaka and chips all on the same plate!?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

The usual tripe. Moussaka and chips.

And some Watney's Red Barrel, no doubt

 

[Ox5OUFC]

it'll be a well-fought battle with a good level of mutual respect between players and fans Oxford will have just that bit more in the engine and put them to bed with 2 quick goals deep in the second half

Just testing if you read before you react.

Don't forget I've been spreading the gospel according to Karl to the Dutch for many many years. They should know by now.

 

[Shropshire U]

Tranmere's only win so far has been the easy 5-0 grab against the Bolton kids. That accounts for half the goals they've scored in 6 matches.
We truly do need to win this one. Let's do it!
