Away Match Build Up 5/12/2023 Funny name cup: Forest Green Rovers v OUFC

[Malc]

the Bristol Street Motors Trophy. Do we care about this game?
Guess we don't want to lose. But no sleep lost if we do.

 

[Sarge]

wonder if there'll be a Costa franchise at the new lawn tomorrow night? ....

Get there early enough and there’s plenty of street parking in Nortonwood, five minute walk from the ground.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Presumably there’s a match ticket with the food?

I’m sure the management want a day out at Wembley.

7th April 2024
will be forever known as ‘ The Murphy Final’..

Yes of course they do................followed by 25 to 30,000 laughin' disciples.

COYY'S

I'd go with something like (assuming they're all fit):

Eastwood
Stevens Negru Thornily Bennett
Gorrin McEachran
Goodrham Henry Perkins
GOD

Yes, it would be nice to win, but it's more important for a) Des to get a look at some of our fringe players in action, b) Said fringe players to get a proper run-out in a competitive match and c) As many of our first teamers as possible to get a rest before Peterborough. If it's close going into the last twenty, you can bring some of the big hitters on.

I would rather get Stevens a rest as well, but I don't think we really have anyone else to play RB until Sam Long is fit enough to start. And he's young and didn't play that much at the beginning of the season, so should be able to handle two games a week.........

It is going to be wet and very cold on that open away terrace.
You would hope that they would give one of the covered ends behind the goal to the away fans tomorrow.

What away fans? No one’s going to go to that!

I'll be going. Planning to sit in a covered stand though

Presumably there’s a match ticket with the food?

No, just veggies.

I wasn’t going to go, but if that’s what they’ve got on offer…..

Amuses me the way the carnivores get so frothy over vegans. Apart from very specific occasions (and at FGR - to which very very few of us will be going tomorrow anyway!) it doesn't impinge on you at all! And no, I am not vegan.

I like this as a tactic, not caring too much about this cup and just using it as a way for des to get a better look, but I would put in perhaps one more regular first team player. Right now it's so far from who we normally are it could end up a bit sloppy.

I actually went to a Vegan festival this year, but only to see Bob Vylan and Romesh!
Didn't eat while I was there, just drank lager coz there was no ale.
I would go to FRG with my Aldi sausage rolls like last season but unfortunately laid low with covid at the moment.

Do I watch on ifollow or listen to RadOx whilst watching the lionesses try to hit 5 past the sweatys

 

[Steve Gilbert]

McEachran, Gorrin
Tyler, Henry, Murphy
GOD

Subs: Beadle, Stevens, Brown, Rodders, Perkins, Mills, Snowdon​

Know it also depends on what sort of team the tree huggers put out but that starting 11 would have likely played us miles away from ‘Murphy’s Final’ before half-time.

 

[tonto]

Is Smyth not around I would like to see what he can do.

....and Johnson...
