Bringing all my blue nose in-laws with me to this one.

Hope we turn up.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

The unbeaten run continues, the Great Escape gathers momentum!

Bring the noise, the lads need us!

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Scrappy 1-0 win would be immense

 

[BTCW]

3pm Saturday home game. No excuse for the Kassam to be quiet like it normally is. Should be rocking.

 

[Cartman]

Will be watching from the USA! If we want to stay up, will need to win games like this against tough opposition. Make sure the Kassam is loud and the boys know we are behind them! I think we can get the three 3 points and if other results go our way, could be a fantastic weekend indeed!

COYY.

It feels like today could really be a turning point for our season. A win today and MB's start looks really impressive.

A couple more additions and we'll have competition for places all across the park with some added bite and quality in areas we've needed it.

Brum are shakey away from home and are there for the taking today. No reason this shouldn't be the best atmosphere of the season so far to give us that extra edge.

COYY LFG

 

[Berliner]

There's going to be a mood dampener at some time in the next few weeks, you don't change a team on the slide to go on an unbeaten run overnight.

But I hope that's not today. We are no longer the point supplier for teams in crisis and I fully expect us to be right at it today.

2-1 to us! Let's get at them from the off.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

Think our line up will be surprising today

 

[Toe knee]

Another must win, we can't afford to slip back to a draw or loss. Get up & at them again & keep the pressure & momentum going to the sides around us .
COME ON YOU YELLOWS

Think our line up will be surprising today

Not to surprising I hope

Ingram
Spencer Long Brown Davies Leigh
McDonnell
Brannagan BDK
Jinwoo Lankshear MPH

Maybe something like that

Think our line up will be surprising today

A back four of dead celebrities, a midfield made up entirely of marsupials and and attaching trio of philosophical constructs?

Cumming in goal. Obvs.

Think our line up will be surprising today

Well as we have two out injured from the Leicester game I expect it will, depending on who is injured

 

[Toe knee]

 

[Jster]

Definitely not having a go, but why is it AI pictures always seem to look so rubbish!?

It's not what it looks like so much , it's the idea.
I know what you mean though

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

Really hoping that OUFC = Danny the tunnel king who actually does escape rather than the Steve Mc Queen character the Cooler King who actually gets away but then is recaptured.
Not sure how many actually escape to freedom in the film but with us It’s the hope that kills you.

No Americans was actually involved with the escape Hero's as usual,when they wasn't even there

Danny Velinski (Charles Bronson) was played as Polish. In reality, the Tunnel King was a Canadian officer.

Ingram? What have I missed?

 

[Twiggy85]

I wonder if Long is one of the injured - hence giving Helik as long as possible to be fit.

Yes ...The American POWs was in a different compound ,only commonwealth prisoners escaped..

Think starting with 12 men might cost us the game even if we win.

 

[Sarge]

feeling quietly confident, my youngest lad is coming to his first game of this season, home win, 3-0

 

[Emilio]

Do we know for sure that Cumming is one of the 2 mystery injuries?
