4-3 FT. Wow. That game had Everything. MOM for me was Leon Chambers-Parillon, kept the midfield really tight. Now to thaw out.

Sounds like a proper game of football. Thanks for the updates and COYY

Is the next round away? .....isnt maidenheads ground one of the oldest in england?

 

[Foley]

Hopefully Spasov is ok. He has really hit the ground running having come back from a nasty injury.
Smith? Wow he just cant seem.to stop scoring.
That was a very big win. The next round on paper should be more comfortable. So a really good opportunity to get through to the 4th round if we beat Maidrnhead at Thame.

I think it's a bit of a shame games like this are played at Thame. Bit out the way for most of our fan base.

If we owned our ground we could play it there.....
I think that the club are restricted on the number of games that they cAn play without paying more to Kassam?

I didn't mean at the Kastad to be honest. Youth home games are often played at Abingdon United. There would be better imo but maybe there's a reason it can't be there that I don't know about.

Yes but Abingdon is awful for any oufc supporters North of Oxford.

Well wherever it is, I'll go along. Always enjoy the U18 matches.

Agreed, share them out as part of Oxford United representing Oxfordshire. Play games at both Abingdon and Thame.

Reflecting on last night's match:
The Colchester lads were more skillful and more physical but they didn't seem to play as well as us as a team.
LBS got his formation right with the 4-4-1-1. Spasov and Smith are old-style goal-hangers. Lopez covered a lot of ground behind them and dropped back into midfield when required. Chambers-Parillon and Sole bossed the midfield and in hindsight that is probably what won us the game. I thought the ref was pretty good, he didn't hesitate to dish out the yellow cards and it was no surprise when their No 8 got his second yellow for a blatant trip.
Both sides were tiring at the end, but our super-sub won it as he did in the last round. Roll on Maidenhead!
