[bicesterox]

No sign of one yet so here goes

Bury, not a team to generate much excitement, a poor team, bottom of the league, sacked the manager, 3 ex Oxford players from last season...... all points to an away win on past history of these types of games.


But, we will win this one

looking forward to seeing what Buckley-Rickets and Brannagan can do if they play, and also Dickie

Come on you YELLOWS

Maguire to miss a penalty.

Martin to score from a Mowatt free kick, Buckley Ricketts to impress and Obika to carry on his good form.

Burys top scorer Beckford has 8 goals he's injured. There next top scorer is Maguire with 2 goals.

 

[Manorlounger]

Will Maguire even get to feature?

I reckon he will they've onlu got one other striker at the moment.

 

[Sarge]

tougher than would be expected match, scrappy affair as a spectacle, late Bury OG earns the U's all 3 points

 

[Manorlounger]

I reckon he will they've onlu got one other striker at the moment.

They have a striker? Looking at their goal scoring I had some doubt!

 

[dabigfella]

I have long since given up trying to predict scores in the United games. They are so inconsistent as to make it impossible to do so.

Boring 0-0
Scraping a 1-0 through Obika or Thomas
Losing 1-0 after a set piece
Playing great and winning 4-0
Playing awful and having Maguire score a couple

Pick literally any one, all are about as probable as the other.

 

[TailsWeWin]

.... but PLEASE can we start on the front foot, rather than limp apologetically into the match and concede after 15 minutes, thus giving Bury hope, confidence and energy and allowing them to time-waste and frustrate from the 40th minute onwards?

 

[Banburyellow]

A scrappy 1 0 win

And who’s your captain…?

 

[Concretebob]

Reckon we will make this hard work for no reason. 1-0... Just. Brannagan.

 

[Oufcad30]

And who’s your captain…?

Lego?

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Maguire’s place surely in doubt?

March 2017 - U’s 5 Bury 1

 

[Peterdev]

Should be a 7-0 win after that beating by Wigan.
Bury shouldn’t pose any threat.
Depends what Oxford team turn up

 

[Yellow River]

Pep experiments with a Xmas Tree formation. No one knows what the hell they are supposed to be doing and Bury score after 23 minutes, inevitably Maguire the scorer. Pep reverts back to 4-4-2 after 30 mins and we go on to win 2-1. Thomas & Rickets on target.

Ledson continues to have a virus. Attendanc 6567.

Famous last words, but hope you're right.
