Away Match Day Thread +++ 20/10/18 Bristol Rovers v OUFC +++

[Gary Baldi]

It looks like a game is happening tomorrow, so COYY!

 

[Peterdev]

On Radox yesterday they said it was at the Kassam

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Why would it not happen?

Leaves on the pitch.

 

[unification]

Bristol Rovers haven’t scored in four games and have lost their last two to last minute goals. They’re only one point better off than us.

We need to see if the Plymouth game was the start of a mini-revival as this game is against a fellow struggler and not one of the promotion contenders. Fingers crossed.

EDIT. Just seen their 'keeper is Jack Bonham. Fancy reminding yourself of one his previous performances against us?!

 

[TailsWeWin]

Low-scoring draw. Although I said that before the Plymouth game.

 

[Sarge]

Scrappy, bad-tempered match, a flurry of cards brandished, an away win by a late, one-goal margin

 

[Gary Baldi]

Why would it not happen?

If you read here, you wouldn't know a game was happening. Usually a Rovers game has more "buzz" about it

 

[OxfordNondie]

As per last year's late goal by Mowatt

Eastwood
McMahon Dickie Nelson Ruffels
Baptiste Mous Henry
Whyte Mackie Browne

Harsh on Holmes, wouldn't really mind if he started over Whyte. Think Ruffels and McMahon have deserved their places at full back. 0-1, Browne.

 

[Dubai Yellow]

I’d take a point but I think we might win this one 2-1

Whyte and Mackie

I feel like you only do this so if we win you can stay quiet and no one notices but if we do lose you can smugly say ‘I told you so’.

Why not add something to the conversation? Why do you think we’ll lose? They’re by all accounts as bad as us and we’ve done well in Bristol the last few seasons. What is it about them / us that makes you think this will be a home win?

 

[Navegante]

I fancy us to keep another clean sheet. If Mackie is on form, then I can see us nicking a goal to ensure it's thank you and goodnight (Irene)!
Wonder how many of the former U's contingent (Sam Slocombe, James Clarke, Alex Jakubiak, Sercs) will feature? COYY!

I think Sam Slocombe has moved on. Possibly to Lincoln?

 

[Johnf]

Hope we can carry on from last week and get another 3 points.
2-0 to the U’S.
COYY

 

[Sarge]

I think Sam Slocombe has moved on. Possibly to Lincoln?

Sercs has been' out of form' of late, Im told?

 

[Peterdev]

Hopefully he’s not playing as he would score against us.
I’m going for 2-1

 

[Navegante]

I think Sam Slocombe has moved on. Possibly to Lincoln?

Yup. You're right: Imps on loan. Sloppy reporting from the OWS!

 

[Foley]

Eastwood
McMahon Dickie Nelson Ruffels
Baptiste Mous Henry
Whyte Mackie Browne

Harsh on Holmes, wouldn't really mind if he started over Whyte. Think Ruffels and McMahon have deserved their places at full back. 0-1, Browne.

After his performances this season there is no way in my view you can leave out Holmes. Both him and Mackie pressed high up last week and gave Plymouth a torrid time.
I suspect that Whyte will start on the bench.

 

[forevayella]

Don’t know why but I think we might sneak a 1-0 win. I have fond memories last year of Mowatt sliding in front of us when he scored the winner.

 

[Deleted member 291]

They are poor at the back and toothless up front. Not only do I expect us to win but I'm confident we will. If we don't then I don't have much faith in turning this season around.
If we can't win a game like this with the experience we have in this squad then it's relegation for me. I'm always optimistic but not deluded. I only say relegation as I don't think a loss will equal a change in management. But realistically I mean let's say we lose 3 out of the next 5, that's it isn't it?

So 3-1 Mackie, Browne and Whyte. 3 points and we can get on with climbing the table and forget how this season started.

A 1-0 win would be nice but I’ve put a couple of quid on us to win and both sides to score at decent odds, so not quite Carling... therefore, 2-1 to us with goals from Holmes and Browne.

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Us and the gas. Proper football teams with proper fans. In recent times we have done well down there. I can see that continuing tomorrow. 2:0 to the mighty yellows. James Henry brace. Onwards and upwards COYY.

 

[RCYellowRC]

Simon Eastwood from a goal kick to score the winner...

 

[bicesterox]

I need a win or it will be a miserable journey to Newquay after the game..... come on you Yellows

 

[uptheus]

Sercs has been' out of form' of late, Im told?

Bet he’s not tomorrow.
