Home Match Day Thread 19/03/2022 L1: OUFC Ipswich Town

[Malc]

And Match of the Day is...??

Of course it's the Mighty Yellows taking on The Tractor Boys. Definitely not going to be easy
but win today and we are heading for the play-offs. We are second in the form table and Ipswich are 4th. Should be a great match.
Not sure who is in or out today, just hope the defence hold everything nice and tight.

Don't forget:

Won't be there, got the dreaded double red line last Sunday and it hasn't gone away yet, which is a right royal pain in the backside and which has meant back to home teacher/teams engineer again as son went down with it too.

As for the game, can't see us not scoring, but can't see us not conceding either, so it'll either be 3-2 or 0-0.

Main question is how Sykes reacts to call up - will he maintain the recent commitment and maturity that got him the call or will that be all out the window, now he's 'made it'?

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

For those of us who can’t be there, if we do win please make sure there’s a “Boring Boring Oxford chant”

 

[Scotchegg]

This is a big game, probably the biggets game of the season so far. A win and not only do we really cement outrplayoff place put finish Ipswich's season. And this is the Ipswich who were throwing money around for fun in the summer and started all the boring boring b*****s from when we played them! As @Ricky Otto says, a chorus of "Boring Boring Oxford" will be a beautiful way to send them off for another league 1 campaign!

We have to believe in ourselves and not worry too much about what they can do. We are above them in the league and the form guide and are scoring for fun. They may have only conceded 1 in the last 6, but we're a completely different proposition and if we play to our strengths then I don't think anyone will stop us scoring. An early goal and they have to come at us and we can pull them apart on the break.

3 - 1 Oxford, Taylor, Sykes and Whyte!

 

[EastStandKieran]

Just woke up and opened the blinds oh what a beautiful morning it is out there it's going to be a lovely day for watching the football
Yesterday I predicted 0-0 but sod that my new prediction is 4-1

 

[unification]

Hold onto your hats, folks. We’re in for a thriller.

Who is the ‘spineless piece of turd’ who will be refereeing this game?

 

[Sarge]

Feeling quietly confident....tight & hard fought game until the last ten minutes, when the mighty U's plough through the tractor boys defence and notch up a 3-1 - Sykes, Brown & Whyte sharing the glory

 

[OX14]

I had a dream it was 2-1 to us. Let's hope this comes true.

 

[Berliner]

0-0. Standard!

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Let's hope they keep up their goal record against us, whilst we continue our goal record as of late.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Any ideas on injuries etc?

 

[Oufc28]

For those coming from Witney area its taken us 35 mins to get from Eynsham to city motors roundabout. Also now a broken down lorry at the traffic lights..

 

[Symp59]

Biggest game of the season win this and I think three more wins we will make the play offs . Everything crossed 2-1 coyy

 

[Scotchegg]

Any ideas on injuries etc?

Sam Long and Ciaron Brown were both back in training on Wednesday following covid, and I'm sure Jack Stevens will also be fit to return (but Easty may still start after his performance last week).

 

[Bodminyellow]

On the train on the way up - feeling confident 3-0 to us

 

[BD Yellow]

Another close encounter in prospect. 1-0 to the Yellows.

 

[EastStandKieran]

Has anybody else received a text message from the club regarding a34 closure

Anyone with any idea what route the ox3 bus route will be past Botley, due to the A34 being shut?

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

We will concede we always do, they don’t concede many

Hoping for a sneaky win but will go for 1-1

I was trying to be sarcastic tbh as I thought the club were supposed to announce it but as usual they've forgot
