Away Match Build Up 9/11/22 L1: Shrewsbury Town v OUFC

[Oxford1996]

A chance to pull away from the bottom group of teams for now.

Eastwood
Long Moore Findlay Brown
Henry McGuane Brannagan
Joseph O’Donkor Browne

Subs: McGinty, Anderson, Gorrin, Bate, Bodin, Goodrham, Taylor​

Really need Long fit for this one. The team was horribly imbalanced against Fleetwood and we need that back 5 to be as resilient as possible the way Shrews play.

Mad that if we win, we’ll be in the top half 5 points off the playoffs and 8 from relegation. I didn’t have any faith in this thin and unbalanced squad after the transfer window to still provide a platform for a strong second half of the season. A win would be a really good step towards that.

 

[Trevor L]

If (huge huge if) we manage 2 wins this week we would be mid table - by definition really, as a team that will have won as many matches as it's lost.

That's either a measure of how poor results have been, or a mildly encouraging thought looking forward.

Hmm...

 

[Sarge]

fancy a 1-3 away win

 

[captainox]

Seddon suspended.
Brannagan, Browne and Findlay one away from suspension.

Was a suggestion last week that Murphy was being lined up for this one.

 

[Patch1262]

Is Murphy available?

No Long according to KR today. It's a shambles when 1 injury throws the whole defense. Shame you can't get an emergency full back like you can a goalie

Is Murphy available?

Yes he is. The bad news is that it's Matt Murphy.

Any decent manager would actually sign enough players for each position I wouldn't even trust KR to sign an emergency fullback on loan he'd probably sign a winger

I’d play James Golding if Long is out.

Difficult for him to come in after a month without playing football (unless we've had a behind closed doors game).
But given the comments on Anderson, don't think there's any one else without playing another player out of position or a change of shape

If he is it won't be for long

Seddon it is then. Not sure I can watch that again.

Seddon is suspended so more creative solution to be found

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

I think Anderson could do a job at right back.

Not entirely sure how you can be more creative than a footballer with no right foot playing right back.

 

[Peterdev]

Bring in McGinty and shift Eastwood to right back. Problem solved

Do we have any players with no legs? Actually how is Sam Baldock these days?

The thin line between creative and stupid

I just listened and watched the KR interview on Shrewsbury preview. No discussion about the game. Really a waste of my time. What is happening
