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

[makv]

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

Now that would be nice!

 

[Navegante]

1-0 Oxford, debut goal from Ranger to silence the boo-boys. COYY!

 

[OUFC OX3]

I think it will be a case of our poor attack vs their poor defence. I'd take another point tbh - I don't like when we face teams on a losing streak.

1-1

Agree x 3

 

[Dubai Yellow]

I think we will win today. 2-1 Mackie and Holmes

 

[Oufcrealist]

You cant concede 4 at home to Plymouth and not park the bus. Lost their last 5, confidence low and similar needed to us, 5 games ago. Despite their best, we nick it with a single goal. Browne of course with Granger watching from the stands, promising to be a good boy, and licking his lips.

Who's this Granger fellow? Not another triallist?

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Win today and we move up to a point a game on average...

No changes from last week except Raglan on the bench then?

 

[Gary Baldi]

Carruthers out injured - out between 6 - 12 weeks.

 

[Oufcrealist]

Carruthers out injured - out between 6 - 12 weeks.

Not surprised. Another injury was quite likely given his recent record.

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Carruthers out injured - out between 6 - 12 weeks.

f**k sake.

 

[Ox5OUFC]

Another 3-0 to Oxford

 

[werthersoriginal]

f**k sake.

Hope he goes back at Christmas, waste of time

Another knee injury. I think old Chippy knew what he was doing when he loaned him to us.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

To be fair he looked both fully fit and very good in pre-season. We maybe played him a bit too much then, but had he not been injured he would have been one of our most in-form players

 

[mooro]

So, those 18 (+Mitchell) are our only fit senior players, (possibly why long, Raglan & Garbutt are all on the bench) - after that it is U23s and L/T injured (Hall, Obika, Baptiste, Carruthers). It's a good job we have so many versatile players (eg Ruffels)!

 

[Johnox37en]

Afternoon all. Be nice to get the win but a draw will do to keep the unbeaten run going and keep us moving up the League. Another clean sheet please lads and see if we can nick one up front.

COME ON YOU YELLOWS

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Over the years, it has become really obvious how much of a gamble signing (or loaning in) injured players is. At best they take a while to get fit and then get up to match pace (which, especially if they are signed as key players means an almost inevitable slow start to their time at the club), at worst it turns out the the injury is recurrent, getting worse or even career ending.

 

[forevayella]

2-1 win. Haven’t felt this confident about an away game for a while. COYY!!!

 

[Gary Baldi]

Carruthers had an unfortunate injury - nothing you can do about that. Just a fact of life in sports in general.
