We are taking on Slough Town with only 6 players??? Bet KR still picks 3 wingers.

Only 60% of the team will be wingers? He’s at least moving in the right direction if so.

But Eastwood will be playing as a right back.

But Eastwood will be playing as a right back.

..and rightly so. Using rush keepers can only help our attacking dynamic.

Apologies...... fat fingers.......... XI (11 wingers).

Won’t Eastwood be helping his wife to lug loads of furniture up the M1 in July, as usual?

 

[OX14]

I'm guessing this is away at Slough Town?

Nope, already sold on Facebook.

We have history of getting out of League One after playing a friendly away to Slough, although unfortunately out of the wrong end of the table. I was there in August 2000, think that was the first time I saw Ian McGuckin in a yellow shirt.

Heady days, we finished bottom of the league and very narrowly missing staying up by a tiny 24 points, conceded 100 goals in the league, and had doubles done over us by Swindon, Reading, and Wycombe.

Rumours that this seasons friendlies are entirely inspired by the 'crap towns' thread are as yet unconfirmed.

Heard a rumour we may be playing Coventry on 16 th July, not sure home or away
This from my friend who is a Cov Season Ticket holder who said someone saw it through a leaked diary message

If so, not exciting but probably the right sort of team to test ourselves against for the season ahead.

Do we think these games will be on Sky?

Having played Rangers with the Stevie G connection, What date is Villa ?

Or Birmingham with Bowyer, Or AFC Wimbledon with Jackson.

Exactly the sort of game we want, teams from the Championship so we can see where we need to be.
I don’t want excitement I want a hard test against teams we are striving to be like.Next best thing is to play teams that have just gone down or who didn’t quite make it eg Wimbledon or Northampton that should give us a test against the teams we are likely to face most weeks
