Club highlights​

 

[SSO]

4-2 Oxford after coming back from 0-1 and
1-2 in the first half. Burnley end with 9 men after none of them can catch Dembele without fouling him.

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

Really think we have 3 difficult games coming up and will settle for 3 points at the end of them. Burnley are going strong and Luton have turned things around
These two games against the two Premier relegated sides were always going to be really hard
Trouble is I can’t see us getting anything today or Tuesday especially with Cam and Mc Eachran out
Which leaves getting 3 points at Pompey
Hope I’m wrong and we get something today

 

[Robin Shater]

Fear no-one. COYY.

 

[Sarge]

the sun is shining on this chilly autumn morning, feeling confident for a hard fought home win , 3-1, Harris, RR and TG sharing the glory

 

[Symp59]

Tough game alot of premier league players with good quality. Would take a draw now first 0-0 of the season.

 

[TheDukeOfBanburyshire]

Feels like this one could go any way. We'll have to be on our game today to avoid a confidence-sapping loss though.

If we're not on it we could well be torn a new one.

 

[Nadi-]

Battling effort, but brought down to earth today.
Thought the same, while away for the play off final. Hopefully a repeat this time as well.

I agree Luton are improving, but did you see last night's match? Away from home, admittedly but gives cause for a bit more optimism, in my opinion.

On the flip side, it's disappointing to see how lively Plymouth look now under Rooney.

They no longer look like a side that we can be confident will be one of the three that finish below us come May.

 

[Toe knee]

Tough game, nothing to fear
Keep the good home form going.
Nice to have a 3 pm kick off.
Don't have to rush about so much.
So I can relax & enjoy it more ..

Luton had three injuries to some decent players last night

 

[unification]

Mentally preparing myself for disappointment but context is everything here. We’re the newbies at this level whilst Burnley have only just down from the PL and are awash with money. Their squad could be sold for an amount that could build our new stadium.

We’ve proven we can be competitive and should do our best to make our home advantage count. Let’s get their fans bemoaning that they should be beating #teamslikeOxford.

Best of luck, Yellows.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Most difficult game of the season. Think us fans and the players need to approach it like a cup game where it's possible we can cause an upset.

Hoping for crackling atmosphere and hopefully a point.

Hopefully they'll still be injured later in the week

 

[NottsYellow]

I think every club has injuries to best players, long term injuries.
Perhaps we are not as unlucky with injuries as we think.
This is where a good squad is required.

 

[Bodminyellow]

On the train up just crossing the Tamar won’t be long until I crack open my breakfast beer. It’s not going to be easy especially with all the injuries - very disappointing news about Phillips but I’m still hopeful.

 

[oufc1991]

Every home game I’ve been to this season apart from Peterborough I’ve expected defeat,my 10 year old son tells me off he says if you can’t be positive then what’s the point well in my defence it’s worked e we’ve won every home game sooo today I’m expecting defeat 1-2

see you in the 'bird pre match?

 

[Berliner]

It's Burnley, not Real F*cking Madrid!
Home win.

 

[Sarge]

Home win.

exactly

 

[Malc]

I think we would give Real Madrid a shock too.

 

[WarwickOx]

This will win me 80 quid

See you both in the ‘bird’ pre match

You didn't see last nights result against Wayne Rooney's Plymouth?

 

[Manorlounger]

Hardest part today? Getting to and away again from the ground! Absolute numptys at Highways causing mayhem with A34 closure northbound. Traffic looks to be queuing already. Going to leave earlier than usual and have the satnav ready!

 

[Village-Yellow]

This is going to be a Confidence Boosting victory of epic proportions!!.

3 points today and a further 6 from the following two games .

COYY's
