U’s v Bristol R

[West Oxon U’s]

Rovers are beaming live coverage of the big game to their supporters’ club this Saturday
after completely selling out their ticket allocation. Not sure how they’ve managed
to do this logistically but still.

£7 a pop for adults with sudsidised beer and food.

Good job they didn't mention Van Kessel, he can take them by surprise

Does the journo have insider knowledge? Or should gasheads keep a close eye on injured wes Thomas sat in the stands?...maybe gas will man to man Mark him? That's give us a 1 man advantage

Sercombe not expecting a great reception.

He'll get applause from me. Although if rumours are true, he acted a bit of a fool last season he still did well for us and he was important in our L2 promotion season.

I haven't a clue if something happened at the away game although I have no doubt a few gave him grief for being an ex-Oxford player.

A bit of banter was exchanged; no more or less than you’d expect.

Do we know if Brannagan is due to be fit for this one? Would be a good game to make your debut

Hope Ledson puts in a crunching tackle on Sercombe early on. Get him taken off the pitch from it. Otherwise he'll inevitably end up scoring.

I think similar was said before away game. But he didn’t.

 

[Mack Jidson]

Honestly, even with whatever happened last season (and I guess we won't know the full details anyhow) it'll be disappointing if Sercombe doesn't get a good reception. As far as fans can be concerned, 17 goals in the promotion season from midfield (Carlisle away!), goal against Swindon and scored at Wembley. If that doesn't deserve a good reception, I don't know what does.

 

[OxfordBoy]

Got a good reception at the away game

I really liked Sercombe when he was here. Shame we sold him. One of those players you don't like to see wearing someone else's strip.

Even though we kept him quiet at the away fixture, he will come back to haunt us one day, he's too good not to. Not surprised to hear the Gas describe him as one of their finest signings.

 

[OxfordBoy]

He didn't

Did before the game, then less do during, nothing nasty though

Sounds like Faz is getting quite frustrated with the defensive errors and confirmed Dickie will come in and get his chance in 1 of these next 3. One of Mehmeti or Thomas should be starting aswell.

Also seemed to suggest Napa might start, or at least be fairly sure of using him off the bench.

Definitely deserves one been superb everytime he plays. I know he's just signed a contract until end of next season but that needs a further extension as he is going places.
Sounds like Faz has respect and players are enjoying training, Rothwell and Napa both mentioned how enjoyable training has been this week. Makes me wonder was Pep going to easy on the players?

 

[tonyw]

Feels like a bit of a saddle game to me......

Win well, and I think we can put any lingering fears of relegation to bed, and maybe just maybe dream of a great run and sneaking into that #6 spot.
Lose badly, and it'll be back to looking over the shoulder nervously for a few more weeks.

Course either way, there's still a 95% chance that we're going to finish the season squarely midtable. But where did rationality ever get us when supporting OUFC?

I don't blame him. It has been our problem all season. Even against Charlton the goals conceded were very poor.
Interesting to hear Mousinho suggest that Faz has coached the defensive part of the game most of the season although the players may now do a little bit more defensive work.
If we can that part out...

He may well have been against Charlton but I have seen him a couple of times and he most certainly has not been 'superb'. Decent yes but no better than that. Hopefully Charlton has kick stated his career.

When i say superb i mean, He's been performing above the level i expected. So his performance has been superb for someone whose a 1st year pro.

Thought he had a poor game at their place, hopefully it won't bite us on the ass come Saturday. I hope he gets a good reception, there was some banter at the away game which he looked a bit shocked by. I really liked him when he played for us and his goals in the promotion season were one of the reasons we got promoted

2 sold out away ends in a row, Plymouth have just sold out theirs. Even more incentive for anyone who has 0 ticket tomorrow to get one. Back the lads who pull on that yellow shirt and help them across the line. The away end will be noisy with the gas signing about some women called Irene, even more reason for us to have a load and proud rendition of Yellow Submarine.

Us fans could be the difference to whether this feel good factor is back for a week or back for 10 weeks. Booing is not an option puts players on edge, clap every tackle won and every shot taken show them that we back them and we believe they are good enough to play for us.

Gas heads also have a song about their gangly ginger target man Gaffney.... which is along the lines of them wanting to have his babies! .... strange habits that go back to their days as seafaring pirates perhaps?

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Henry in for Ruffels tomorrow for me. Mowatt drop deeper alongside Ledson where he was brilliant against Walsall and Charlton (Checkatrade). IBR Left, Rothwell free role & Henry on the right hand side. Wes hopefully fit up top, if not give Mehemti a go.
