Home Match Day Thread +++ 31/08/2019 L1: OUFC vs Coventry City +++

[OUFCwaffle]

This is a tough one to predict. Coventry have had a strong start to the season winning three and drawing two.

Hopefully the win on Tuesday will have spurred the players on and we will see a bit more energy on the pitch than the previous few games.

Going for 1-0, Woodburn.

James Henry wants more goals:

 

[Basham Wonderland]

A point would just be really nice.

 

[Oldham]

A sneaky 2-1 to the mighty yellows, Mackie to get the winner In injury time

Last League encounter at Grenoble Rd:

[AbbeyOx]

never get predictions right so it's going be 2-0 to them with both own goals from Saddiqi making his home debut in front of the lowest ever turnout of just 34 people and that's including the geezer on here trying to buy a ticket in the home end

 

[Sarge]

Coventry's unbeaten start to this season has got to end at some point

we are overdue a league win .... I reckon 2-1 home win , Mackie and Woodburn

 

[Dolly]

I'm hoping the midweek game gives us a boost, so I'm going for a solid home win, 2-0.

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Mous Ruffels
Brannagan Gorrin Baptiste
Henry Fosu
Mackie

SUBS: Forde, Woodburn, Hanson, Sykes, Long, Thorne, Stevens
​

Would like to see Baptiste get another 60mins under his belt, but realistically, he'll probably start on the bench, in which case, swap him with Sykes.

Really not convinced yet by Moore, at fault for both goals on Tuesday, looks pretty immobile, so would prefer Mous for now, although feel it might be time to give Jones a chance at some point.

Gonna be a tough game, and given our recent form, I'd take a draw, but hopefully Tuesday's result has lifted everyone, and we can get things clicking again, and if so, then I fancy us to get the win.

COYY

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Tickets seem to be selling well, there were quite a few less available online from this morning to now

Gorrin and Branagan both doubtful with injuries so midfield could be weak tomorrow hopefully who ever plays makes the most of the chance and gives the manager real selection problems for the right reason.
will be a close game we need to take our chances and cut out the errors at the back.

Have predicted the last two league game scores correctly, so going to go for the hatrick.

2 nil to Coventry.

Be careful Kip you’ll get the usual ‘I’m better than you’ posters (and we know who they are) challenging your support and negativity.

You cannot have real beliefs or thoughts!

 

[uptheus]

My team based on availability;

Eastwood
Cadden, Dickie, Moore, Ruffels
Forde, Mousinho, Skyes, Fosu
Mackie, Woodburn

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Is Woodburn available? I thought he was on international duty with Wales, or is that later

Might aswell @ me pal. How is negativity support out of interest?

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Baptiste Hanson Henry
Forde Woodburn Fosu

Obviously if Brannagan is fit he walks

1-0 Cadden

Not having Gorrin AND Brannagan would sting a bit!

If thats the case:

Eastwood
Long Dickie Mous Ruffels
Cadden Hanson Baptiste
Henry Fosu
Mackie

SUBS: Forde, Woodburn, Sykes, Thorne, Moore, Hall, Stevens
​

I think he's available tomorrow, but will miss Tuesday (Norwich, Micky mouse trophy game) and next Saturday in the league (Fleetwood)

If Gorrin and Brannagan are both out then I agree with you that it’s sensible to bring Long back in at full back to shore up our leaky defence and push Cadden forward, that’s what team I would start with if that’s the case.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

If none of Gorrin, Brannigan or Taylor are fit and Agyei isn’t ready yet it becomes a bit more interesting...

Eastwood
Cadden Dickie Moore Ruffels
Mousinho
Henry Forde
Woodburn Mackie Fosu
​

I think that could work, especially as both Henry and Forde seem to lack a bit of pace to play our wide, but are talented players...

Last League encounter at Grenoble Rd:

One of our worst home performances of the season if I recall

If that’s the line up I’ll give you £20

Great Uncle from the Skip strikes again ?

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Correctly predicted last week’s score unfortunately.

This week feeling a little more confident (don’t know why) so going for 2-1 Oxford.
