[OUFCwaffle]

If we play like we did 2nd half Wednesday then we'll thump them. They will no doubt go for sh*thouse time wasting tactics as always though so it will be a very different test to Man City.

Going for 2-1 Taylor and Sykes.

 

[TailsWeWin]

0-0. Tiredness shows. Wycombe happy to sit back and throw long balls into our penalty area. Crowd a bit flat. I’m always wrong so that’s what won’t happen.

 

[McVicar]

Just hope it's not a case of ATLMS.

Can see it being a draw though, and a bit of a damp squib (quite literally). Hope I'm wrong though.

1-1 (Henry)

 

[oxfordfan1]

3-1 oxford taylor, brannagan, fosu and the beast getting a consolation goal for wycscum.

 

[BotleyOx]

I'm hoping for a win, but even if we draw, it won't be for the want of trying.
Judging by Wednesday nights performance, they will be fired up.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Archer
Cadden Dickie Mousinho Ruffels
Gorrin
Henry Brannigan
Sykes Taylor Fosu​

I’d say that’s probably our best team, depending on Henry’s fitness. I’d happily see Agyei start wide right again but Sykes did well when he came on to be fair. I also wouldn’t mind if Mackie starts to soften up their defence for 60 mins, but if so it’s vital Matty Taylor gets at least half an hour to do his thing. If that team did start then a bench of:

Stevens, Moore, Long, Baptiste, Hall, Agyei, Mackie

Is nice and strong and shows our strength in depth is returning.

 

[McVicar]

Also just hope Cam doesn't run out of steam, he's played pretty much 2 complete games after a long lay off so must be feeling it a bit.

 

[Sarge]

not expecting a football feast ... nonetheless i do expect the U's style of play to overcome the oppositions ani-football, home win 2-1 , Henry and Ruffels

 

[werthersoriginal]

Away win 0-2

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Played for both includes Jordan Archer, John Mousinho, Dean Morgan, Paul McCarthy, Sam Stockley, Jason Seacole,
Michael Duberry and Tommy Mooney.

No false optimism from me after Wednesday, but I really hope we kick their sorry arses!

I have a bad feeling about the game so if I predict a loss I could get a pleasant surprise

 

[Berliner]

Well, after the Telegraph article it's clear we'll have researched them and how they play, so they shouldn't pose too many surprises.
Gorrin and Brannigan are absolutely key tomorrow. If they play well we should (SHOULD) win.
Got a nasty feeling about crosses being pinged in at Archer though, it's clear the endorphines start shooting through him quite quickly.
They aren't top for nothing, so I'll go for 1-1.

 

[AbbeyOx]

runs like that are there to be beaten, it’s happened to us, so 2-0. Fosu and another late Ruffels goal.
just hope we don’t have a repeat of last xmas

 

[Essexyellows]

4-1.

 

[Londonroader1]

Noisy little neighbours Lets send them packing back down the M40 with their tales between their legs.

It will be a very different game!
They won't let us play good football. They will be strong, spoiling and nasty. If they go a goal up they'll waste time. This is where KR has to have more than 'pure' football at the ready.

What happened on Wednesday means precisely nothing should we not get a result tomorrow.

Not that Karl and the team need me to tell them this.

 

[Foley]

We really dont want to concede first ( more so than most games)
A really tough game. They have only conceded 14 in 20 games. So if they do score first I could see it being a horrible game from that time on.
Cadden. Henry coming back in should give us more pace and guile..
I have no idea which way it will go but they are due a defeat.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

This Anti-football tag really has to go. They are top of the league and to do that they must have something about them. Whatever they have, they are no mugs. They are certainly not going to come here and try to go toe to toe, because we will rip them a new one. I expect them to be very tough to break down and quite inventive getting forward. We have the class to win it but we will need to bring the A game. We do that, and there is only one winner.

Same. They’re on a good run and despite the heroics of Wednesday we’ve been a little flat for a while now. Wouldn’t mind a draw, still a lot of the season to play, this is hardly promotion-deciding.

 

[gingerox]

Archer
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Brannagan Gorrin Baptiste
Henry Mackie Fosu

1-0, Henry

What are you going to do about your avatar when we play Lincoln on Boxing Day?

 

[Mad Dog]

Unfortunately the Christmas madness has forced me into working again tomorrow, probably the first time in a decade that I’ve missed two home league games in a season, but I’ll be forced to listen on the radio.

My team would be:

Archer
Cadden Dickie Mous Ruffels
Brannagan Gorrin Baptiste
Henry Taylor Fosu​

That’s basically our strongest lineup, if Henry’s fit, he plays. A bit risky playing Brannagan and Baptiste again after both of them have played so much so soon after injuries in the space of a few days, but we’ve dropped a few points in the league recently, and need to get back to winning ways, so needs must.

Gonna be a really tough game, but if we play as well as we did on Wednesday, I’m confident we’ll get the win.

COYY

I think we will see a repeat of the Shrewsbury game just hope the ref is strong and puts a atop to their time wasting

agreed, it’s cringe hearing it all the time. They are well clear at the top ffs, you don’t get there by being ‘anti-football’ [emoji849]
