Home Match Day Thread +++ 20/08/2019 L1: OUFC vs Burton Albion+++

[OUFCwaffle]

My first game as a season ticket holder since 15/16 season so I thought I'd start this one.

Going for a hard fought 2-1 with Dickie and Taylor scoring, 20+ shots.

 

[Oldham]

3-0 to the mighty yellows with Matty Taylor getting the third...

UTM!

 

[Bodminyellow]

Yep travelling up from Cornwall for first game of season can’t wait!

 

[Salaghaf]

3-0 to the mighty yellows with Matty Taylor getting the third...

UTM!

Yes, agreed.
But also one of those games which should have finished 8-0 with the clear chances. Can’t wait!

 

[Oxford1996]

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Gorrin
Henry Brannagan (C) Woodburn Fosu
Taylor

That’s the team i’d go for!

 

[tonto]

Or maybe Mackie to start Taylor coming on midway through second half

 

[tonto]

Also a bit tough on mousinho who has barely put a foot wrong this season

 

[OUFCwaffle]

I'd swap Henry for Mous and go for two deep lying play makers. We'd be rock solid at the back that way.

 

[Oxfordus]

All those doubters and posters who made snidey remarks about the board and personally attacked tiger got it wrong. Are they big enough to publicly put their hand up and apologise in the same way they publicly criticised?
Now it’s up to KR and the team to continue to put the performances in and keep the standards high. Can’t wait for this season to unfold.

 

[brassmonkey]

3-0 good times

 

[North Wales Yellow]

3-1 win.

Henry, woodburn, Taylor.

 

[DannyW]

Burton a well organised side under Nigel Clough, but now we have a lot more to throw at them than against the ten men at their place last season. Matt Taylor on from the start and hit them fast. when were 3-1 up bring on the Mackie to see the game out in his own way. Gorrin needs to watch these bookings which are building a bit too rapidly for me.

 

[BarrySpang]

Burton have been using John-Joe O’Toole as a CB ?

[West Oxon U’s]

Tonight comes too soon for Shandon Baptiste and Daniel Agyei.

 

[Foley]

I hope that Fosu is fit for this evening although him going for a scan is little concerning.
Its diffucult to criticise much on Saturday but Fosu just adds something a little different.

[Didcotox]

First game of the season for me tonight. Yesterday’s signings have left me feeling quite excited about the seasons prospects. Burton are no pushovers but I am hoping for three points.

 

[Sarge]

Taking my middle grandaughter to her 2nd u's game ....an emphatic 3-0 win brannagan, ruffles and snake taylor with 1 apiece

[Tomox]

The Burton forum makes interesting reading...looks like we're gaining a reputation of being a horrible team to play against..constantly fouling and breaking up play.

Strange when this is one of the best footballing teams I've seen us put together in recent memory.

 

[Whingit]

Indeed. These tweets made me chuckle last night.

 

[AbbeyOx]

a win for us to carry on our decent home form.
a pleasant august evening watching football at the breeze block, so will wrap up warm!

 

[GRB]

I don't do predictions but one thing I will say is that it's been quite a while since I've looked forward to attending a match like I am tonight. Hopefully the game won't disappoint.

I'm maybe somebody this is aimed at.

I acknowledge that a very competitive squad has been assembled without spending silly money. I applaud that a number of players have decent resell value with a few more who could also develop into players we could sell for fees later on down the line. I admire KR's resolve and determination thus far. Long may it continue!

However, it has taken 18months of Tiger's reign to get here. Mistakes were made which supporters were absolutely right to call out. The PR & Comms with the fanbase (both in general and with OxVox) have been poor. A lot of question marks remain around our financial position (who do we owe debt to and on what basis?). And the stadium question remains unanswered.

I'm loving the current on-field situation but remaining vigilant concerning off-field matters.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

If Fosu is fully fit and Taylor starts then we win this one, in my view. If no Fosu then it will be trickier, and if Taylor can’t start then it will be down to luck and how Burton play IMO...

 

[Reynolds97]

Also a bit tough on mousinho who has barely put a foot wrong this season

Would disagree, his man for the first against Blackpool and caught by ball over the top for the 2nd. Moore & Dickie for me.
