[West Oxon U’s]

We’ve met U before - March 2018 Oxford 2 - 1 Posh

same score again. keep the home form going with first goal for Sinclair and late winner from back in form Henry

 

[Sarge]

think thisll be a decent home win, 3-1 , with Sinclair, Mackie & Ruffles on the score sheet , attendance around 6000, 350 from posh

 

[Northstandboy]

2-0, Sinclair and Henry.

6300

I like your prediction Sarge but the crowd? 7,000 considering last weekends game

Get the feeling that Henry will be rested after last week's showing, maybe Carruthers will replace him.

big push to get 10k for last sat (with 1808 mackams officially.... probably 2000 mackams total- leaving 8k home fans after a long and sustained promotional push, including occasionals)- home game to peterboro, barely any promotion, business as usual for a Feb afternoon this season, home crowd of around 6k .... plus about 350 from posh , just under 6.5 k total methinks ? ...id like to hope theres a few more, but....

Carruthers was instrumental in the U23s win over Hull U23s (3-0) , in fact his class stood out in that game, could be one replaces t'other during the match v posh

 

[AbbeyOx]

you could say Brannagen needs a rest as well. finally good to actually have these options from the bench that don't weaken the team

 

[Paul Cannell]

I shall countenance nothing less than a resounding victory.

Apart from Carruthers, who else do you think would be an adequate replacement if we drop both Henry and Brannagan?

 

[Witneyoldfella]

I certainly wouldn't "rest" Brannigan , his overall work rate and tenacity is superb. So if anyone get rested could be Henry methinks.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Survival : the numbers.

 

[Sarge]

with 3 games over the next 7 days, now KR has options that are fit, its almost a given that therell be a bit of 'squad - rotation' v Posh, 'Stanley and B'pool

not suggesting to drop them both at the same time, just saying we're looking stronger as a squad.
don't know enough about Kashi but sure he could fit in there and hopefully Sykes will do well

 

[westyorkshireexile]

Sykes is reportedly injured. Still don't think we have adequate in-depth reserves in mid-field.

sykes has an injury ...knee I think?he wasnt in u23s squad v Hull due to injury

beat me to it by seconds @westyorkshireexile

Don’t think Brannagan needs resting, he’s one of those players who is better playing week in week out tbh! Duracell batteries.

Makes a change.

 

[Berliner]

2-1 to us. COYY!

 

[westyorkshireexile]

3-1 to us. Sinclair, Browne, Carruthers, Dickie OG!!

Match Preview.

 

[AbbeyOx]

Sykes possibly training today according to the ox fail
looking forward to seeing him and hope he starts as well as whyte did

 

[Foley]

It was 'only the U23s but was a competitive game and Carruthers looked very fit to me.
He ran all game.
He could well come in for Henry (although that reduces our goal threat with Henry by far our top scorer)

Totally agree.

very much agree re Carruthers on tues for U23s.... won the pen, basically ran the whole game, was defending, in mid field and attacking just behind strikers too .... think he mayve taken the pen if he hadnt been 'told' to let Jonte Smith take it

 

[Paul Cannell]

Anyone else looking forward to Tiger's programme notes? I'm sure they'll be Grrrrrrrreat!
