I watched in in The Cellar in Wantage. Wasn't that the game which caused Appleton put one of our bald fullbacks out to pasture?

Yep, that was David Newey.

Edit - or was it Tom Hunt?

 

[holdsteady]

This is true. I remember watching on a dodgy stream with those quick succession goals thinking the stream was playing up and being gobsmacked at being 3-0 down or whatever it was.

Looked at the record and they a s**t record here and we have a s**t record at theirs, the home team has been pretty dominant in fixtures between the two sides. However they took the dominance a bit far that day.

Alan Dale as 4th official - always wondered what happened to him after he left Neighbours.

Tell me about it, always having to correct the (ironically) uneducated ones who ask me if this is a derby.

The first person referring to or calling this a "derby" should be put in stocks outside the East Stand and pelted with rotten fruit and veg...... for a week.

Solid 2-1 home win as #hmspisstheleague leaves the docks.

Tom Newey's last game for us was that thraping at Cambridge. David Hunt's last game was a few weeks earlier against Exeter

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

We couldn't go three in a row could we?!

By all accounts Cambridge are a better side than MK and Burton so we'll need our best home performance of the season. Play like the first hslf against MK and the first 70 against Burton and we may find this one very difficult.

 

[Symp59]

Yes more needed from the midfielders Cam hasn't really got going yet ,lets hope he ups his game and scores one of his worldies. Just don't lose keep plodding along and let's get more of the players back fit .COYYs

@Orkney Islands Yellow caught up in “predicting a difficult afternoon in L1” shock.

 

[holdsteady]

We would all take a draw wouldn't we?

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I would prefer a draw to a defeat.

Toughest opponents we've faced so far.

 

[Yellowecky]

(Is this a whoosh?)

No. We’re playing well and learning from AR as we go, so I’m hoping for another win.

You’ll have to wait until 5.00pm on Saturday to have a laugh at my expense.

 

[Foley]

Toughest opponents we've faced so far.

We will see.
They have done incredibly well but have won games the stats suggest they were very much second best in.
I reckon MK will finish above Cambridge ( it is incredibly early yet).
Cambridge have drawn with Burton and Bromley.

Maybe you are right and Cambridge will be this season's Stevenage.

We really have to be looking to beat Cambridge at home if we want to get in/ close to the play offs?

I would like to think that nobody would take a draw at home to Cambridge after back to back wins and us being 5th in the league, so yes its a whoosh. All home games are winnable this season, I expect us to go out looking for wins in every game considering the players we have at this level. Which is nice to say as my a**e was going over the summer with what was going on.

 

[Newbury yellow mk 2]

Same starting eleven,swap lynch and snowden on the bench.

 

[Essexyellows]

Winning breeds confidence and a winning mentality and I think AR is getting that into the players, a lot more self belief and confidence than I`ve seen for a while.

2-0 home win.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

Think we've got this by 2 lengths all because we have better Cox.

 

[Newbury yellow mk 2]

Is Keith back?

 

[carefreeoufc]

No one ever takes a draw in a top-of-the-table derby match like this. We need to go for a win!!

 

[samstudd]

We will comfortably beat them. We are romping this league, get on board.

 

[GreenMachine]

This will be a tough game tougher than we think I am hoping our recent form and mentality will pull us through I guess similar to the Burton game tight at half time maybe 1-1, then we will run out 3-1 winners as our tenacity and quality pays towards the end of the game.

Come on you yellows how nice would a long winning run be..

Unfortunately after this is that massive international break so we won't have a game until the 6th of October hopefully that doesn't stall our momentum.

When Jin woo and rooksen are back with Emakhu we are going to have a very good team. Not sure what the situation is with Leigh. Feel bad for the guy great servant.

 

[Jason]

2-1 COYY!!

 

[Peterdev]

We would all take a draw wouldn't we?

There are grounds to be optimistic.
Big crowd right behind the yellows. What chance GOD to score again? Brannagan penalty due soon.
I’m just wondering when Jamie Cumming will be deemed ready to start. Eastwood like all the Oxford players have been improved so much under Ramsey. Long may it continue. I’m expecting a 2-0 win after the 4-0 and 3-0 wins recently.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

Eastwood has to stay in even if JC is ready. We seem more assured from crosses and corners.
