Away Match Build Up 25/11/2023 L1: Cheltenham Town v OUFC

[BristolOx]

Thought i’d start the build-up thread as we’re a week away from Des’ first game in charge.
Excited to see how we line up. I would expect we’ll pick one of our 3 starting formations - 4231, 3421 or the hybrid/both where we defend with 4 at the back and attack with 3 at the back.

I’ll post more stats later, but it’s second vs second bottom.





COYY!

Hopefully the start of a new manager 'bounce' for us and the end of theirs. Potential banana skin, no room for complacency.

Only conceded 4 goals in the first half all season, and 2 of those were in the opening day defeat at Cambridge.

Worst home team vs best away team

From the Cheltenham forum…..

They’ve just appointed Des Buckingham as new first team coach. Currently boss of Mumbai City, but he’s Oxford born and and Oxford fan.

Cracking timing for our game against them in a couple of weeks with an enthusiastic, sold out away following backing their home coming new manager. Joy.

Exactly the type of game we would usually do our best to lose then... Hopefully Des changes that!

Do we know for sure whether Moore is suspended for this one? Some sources, including the FA, have him on 5 yellows now. I have nightmares that we end up playing him and have points deducted, as the club hasn't mentioned it at all.

Surely the FA should be informing the club?

An away win. 1-4 Brannagan x2 Rodrigues, and Bodin.

Top of the league Saturday night after Pompey drop points vs Blackpool.

One would hope so - it's just my paranoid nightmares!

I'm sure they have. The fault lies with the club for not letting us know

I suspect the club have the wherewithal to be on top of this........but I've just looked on T'Internet and he does seem to have picked up 5 yellows in league games. Another part ot T'Internet shows the following so he may not play on Saturday:

I wonder if Greg Leigh gets a rest considering he will have playing a couple of games for Jamaica and the travel time.

moist….

Fans in stitches at 'most pointless pitch inspection EVER' at Jamaica vs Canada

JAMAICA’S Nations League clash with Canada was called off last night due to a torrential downpour in Kingston. The Reggae Boyz had been due to host the Canadians in a Concacaf Nations League …

They sent a fax.
