[ttg17]

Kicking this one off because it’s my first game in a little while.

An important game for me. An opportunity to build on the good feeling generated by breaking our away win duck. We’re a bit inconsistent at the minute but are generally good at home, so I’m going for a scrappy 1-0 win. Henry.

 

[dabigfella]

0-0

If we are lucky.

Hate having to say that.

But its the most likely score.

If we are lucky.

 

[Peterdev]

I’m looking forward to a 2-0 with James and Jerome. Scrappy affair but a crucial win

 

[AbbeyOx]

going for a 1-0 win as well. that away win must have lifted them a bit and Graham to score again as still on a high from that free kick last week
Didn't they bring in loads in January, so hopefully new players still not settled in

 

[ttg17]

Am I right in thinking McMahon can’t play for them, as we’re his parent club? If so that’s surely a boost, looking at their recent lineups he’s been starting for them consistently.

 

[Peterdev]

Stuart McCall struggling to find his feet there, so will be looking over his shoulder

 

[gingerox]

Eastwood
Long Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Henry Mous Sykes
Graham Mackie Garbutt

1-0, Henry.

 

[Scotchegg]

2 nil win, Mackie and Sinclair in a surprisingly stress free game. Confident that this will be the first step in an unbeaten March that will see us pull clear of the rest.

 

[Sarge]

winning run 'continues'with a 3-1 home win ... all goals in 2nd half ,Sinclair, Ruffles & Whyte.... crowd 5700, 320 Iron travelling

I predicted us to lose 3-0 last Saturday so I am going to stick with that till it doesn’t work, 3-0 to Scunthorpe and we don’t have a shot on goal.

Big game though, it’s little winning runs that keep you up in a relegation battle so another win would be a massive boost. We need to defend properly and be a bit basic if necessary, very few clubs football there way out of the situation we are in, because if you were a good footballing side you wouldn’t be in this situation.

Really looking forward to the tribute to Pekalski before this game, hope the club have something special lined up to mark his service to the club.

I hope no-one suggest looking at the bottom of his trouser legs before Saturday evening.

After my superb prediction last week I'm confident that Mousinho will be back at CB and we'll ship 3 goals in a meek 2-1 defeat.

Whoa there Mr Cannell.
The Krug not chilled enough sir?
Such tepid thought for a man of cavernous intellect and savoir-faire!
Where is that gallant devil-May-care swashbuckling man about town?
Have you been hogtied in the loft-space of great uncle kip?
No no no my friend, I foresee a giant of victory against those spud scrubbing knuckle draggers... 3-1 yellows.?

I thought he joined them permanently

 

[Bigfella72]

0-0

If we are lucky. (Why?)

Hate having to say that. (Doubt it ?)

But its the most likely score. (Again why?)

If we are lucky. (Thrice why?)

 

[Bigfella72]

Looking at stats this looks like a 1-1 or 2-1 win!
Henry(pen) Sinclair

 

[Bigfella72]

Think he did but doesn’t mean we didn’t say we will let you leave on the proviso you can’t play against us this season.

0-0

If we are lucky.

Hate having to say that.

But its the most likely score.

If we are lucky.

Really?
On the basis that we have scored in 8 of the previous 10 games and conceded in 8, I am.not sure why 0 0 would be the most likely score?

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Would take a point.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Away defeat?

 

[windmill]

If Henry is back to 100% then it is a regulation win for the U's. There is enough in the tank with White back in action, hopefully.

 

[Deleted member 729]

Home win please

 

[Yellow River]

I’m expecting a similar game to the previous home match against Peterborough.

0-0 all over it but one team somehow manages to score from a set piece. Just hope it’s OUFC who get the 3 points.

 

[RCYellowRC]

1-0 Sinclair

Eastwood
Long Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Mousinho
Henry Sykes
Whyte Sinclair Graham

Subs: Stevens Garbutt Hanson Carruthers Browne Mackie James

 

[Sir Winston]

Nervous and tense 1:0 to the Yellows (Mackie 38min)

 

[UTM]

I would like to get a win as a point is not cutting it , a early goal would settle the nervous! If so a 2-0 win for me.

 

[RCYellowRC]

1-0 Sinclair

Eastwood
Long Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Mousinho
Henry Sykes
Whyte Sinclair Graham

Subs: Stevens Garbutt Hanson Carruthers Browne Mackie James

James loaned out to Oxford City along with Albie Hopkin.

Agree, plus there’s a good few teams around us with tricky away games this weekend.

 

[chuckbert]

A frustrating game where we can’t seem to get any one on the end of a pass or cross into the box. Occasional flashes of hope from 30m set pieces. Panicked passages of defending where we keep humping the ball back to their midfield for the next assault. Officials make decisions that are equally s**t for both teams. Either they or us score a nice, but somewhat fortunate goal. 1-0 or 0-1.
(I think I could make this prediction for all of our remaining games).
