Away Match Day Thread +++ 3/11/2018 Scunthorpe United v OUFC +++

[makv]

Not sure how we’ve got to 1pm without one of these, but here goes…

OUFC to continue our unbeaten run with a … 2-0 win.

700 hardy supporters freeze their nuts off, and see goals from Whyte and Mackie, with a 5 minute sub appearance from young Aaron Heap.

KR can’t but help saying “I told you so”.

 

[Gary Baldi]

It saved me from doing it again. My record of away draws needs a change...

 

[Berliner]

Goals, bags of goals, our cup runneth over with goals. And on top of goals, even more goals!
4-2 to us.

 

[Sarge]

2-1 away win....3000th league goal and 3points

 

[Pompeyyellows]

this is a must keep the un-beaten streak going game. heart says 3 points with a very professional if uninspiring 1:0 win. Head says a backs against the walls point against a very dogged Scunny team with a point to prove after there thrashing by Plymouth last week. Onward and upwards COYY

 

[Pete Burrett]

My third live game of the season! Combination of our improved form and Scunthorpe's desperately bad form: Scunthorpe 0 Oxford2.

 

[Davox]

I think we’ll lose this despite all the wonderful optimism on here. I’m afraid I still think we have a poor team and Scunthorpe will out fight us as Northern teams always seem to! Hope I eat my words. Scunthorpe 2 Oxford 1

 

[TailsWeWin]

I’ll split the difference: both teams happy with a 1-1 draw.

We have a poor team?
So have we been lucky drawing at Southend and Charlton and easily beating Plymouth and Shrewsbury?

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Interesting game this one.

Scunthorpe have a similarly talented squad to us on paper I believe, but are also badly underperforming.

Start well and I think we can nick it.

I agree that starting well is key.
They will be down on confidence and their manager seems to be suggesting that they may try and keep things tight.
We need to defend as well as we have been doing and then we do have players who can open up poor defences.

Could very easily lose this, if the players and/or management relax and think we've got it cracked.
I'd take a draw at this stage

Eastwood
McMahon Dickie Nelson Ruffels
Brannagan Mous Henry
Whyte Mackie Holmes

0-1, Brannagan.

 

[Upthecowboys]

They’ve conceded a lot of goals, and we’ve been defending well recently. If we make no silly mistakes at the back then I reckon we’ll win this.

Feeling strangely confident about this one.

 

[Peterdev]

Think we will win this 2-0. Fluky goal and then a thunderbolt from Gavin Whyte

 

[Scotchegg]

2 nil, Brannagan and a late second from Sam Smith!

 

[Paul Cannell]

It saved me from doing it again. My record of away draws needs a change...

There's a 'be careful what you wish for' moment threatening....

But I'm hopeful of points, too. COYY.

 

[greatunclekip]

1 nil win. Mackie.

3-0 to Scunny.

Kip is trying to f**k with the football Gods and I won't have it.

Still got Corporate Clive of India to come.
One "Away defeat" and all will be right with the world.
