Might be a bit tougher than last season, however they have started on a par with us..............

Anyone wants any local advice please ask......... before Thursday evening.

 

[Sarge]

Despite last nights dissapointing defeat we can go to Leicester and get a win, laws of average (or something) should mean that 4-5 senior, experienced ( championship at that) players won't all have consecutive and collective off days. I expect Ramsey to freshen up the starting eleven, and the squad too. It wont be an easy game, nonetheless reckon we'll grab a hard-fought, battling 1-2 win , with a late winner securing all 3points

 

[Manorman]

Any recommendations for parking?

 

[carefreeoufc]

Not that it would happen, but I’d happily see Andrews for Brannagan and Helik in for Long as a start. If either of those two players had performed at say 5/6 out of 10 instead of 2, it may well have been a different story.

Any recommendations for parking?

Industrial estates at Freemens common do Match Day parking.

If you are up for the day you can park in Highcross for a £5 all day. https://highcrossleicester.com/offers/park-all-day-for-5

Its about a 20 minute walk to the KP.

Otherwise Aylestone Road side streets that aren`t in a CPZ (Google Maps/Earth helps) and get a bus towards the City Centre and get off by Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Eastwood
Kioso, Helik, Brown, Currie

Harris over O'Donkor ? With Harris as our lone frontman I don't think there can be a more predictable team in the entire 92 as an attacking force. Harris is currently offering nothing.

I think O'Donkor gives us more of a threat off the bench.

 

[MadridYellow]

Probably start emakhu if he’s fit but not sure if he is. Throw the new boys in and see what they have about them. Missinga and Snowden off the bench. Helik back in to deal with Riis. 2-1 loss, Up the Ox

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

 

[Foley]

Is Cumming injured for a while?
Emakhu?

Apologies if it has been discussed elsewhere

 

[Nadi-]

Eastwood
Spencer Helik Brown Currie
McDonnell
Andrews Brannagan
Lynch Harris Emakhu

With Emakhu unfit Sibley instead

 

[Gordon]

Helik should start ahead of Long
Andrews in place of Goodrham
and GOD deserves a start up front

How are tickets going? Surely we'll take over 2000?

How are tickets going? Surely we'll take over 2000?

Through my work, I know we had sold around 1500 as of bank holiday weekend.

Initial allocation was 2000 and not sure if that has been opened up further yet.

 

[Essexyellows]

How are tickets going? Surely we'll take over 2000?

Reliably informed the initial allocation which is 2,038 or so has yet to sell out.

Serves them right for increasing the ticket price by 50% in a lower league fixture.

 

[OxfordNondie]

Am told 1800 tickets sold

A good following

 

[TeamOX]

Find it astonishing the amount of people who have omitted TG from the line up. Not saying he’s pulling up trees so far but he’s head and shoulders in terms of ability and potential. Southampton at home pre injury last season he ran the show.

Well that doesn’t mean he gets a free place for life. He couldn’t complain if he was dropped for a couple of games. But I hope he stays in the picture.

I think I'd play a central midfield 3 in this game:

Eastwood (or Cumming if fit)
Spencer Helik Brown Currie
Andrews McDonnell Brannagan
Lynch Harris Dembele

Arguably Go'D ahead of Harris, and Missanga ahead of Dembele, but they are good subs to bring on too.

 

[RgYellows]

If I know OUFC media language then there’s absolutely no way Cumming is fit to start today. In fact all the noise about how it’s not as bad as first feared makes me believe it’s 30% chance we have already sold him to MK Dons for a pittance in January and agreed he won’t have to play for us again.

 

[holdsteady]

After Sibley started in our last win I would bring him back as a fresh pair of legs, last chance to start up front for Harris, would tell him that, plus would prefer ODonkor to get that “first” start at home. Going to be a tough game but at least we have a little bit more on the bench, just trying to stay in the game and then nick something later on.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Predicted Foxes line-up:

Alex McCarthy expected to start in goal.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Jakub Stolarczyk will do his rehab with Ben Nelson as both recover from ACL injuries.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

I'm taking someone who can't walk too far but I forgot to book car park. Is Meynells Gorse park n ride a good shout?

I’ll go there before someone does seriously.

Has he got a pair of boots? Can play instead of Harris….

[Jster]

They've got Wes Burns? He always seems to give us trouble - very good player for league one.

Edit - I looked him up on wiki, and had forgotten he once had a loan spell with us years ago.
