Match Thread Coventry City v Oxford United - FA CUP 3RD ROUND - 6th January 12:30 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Evo1883
- Start date
I did this, less admin to deal with (until I inevitably forget my wallet and have to fork out 2 x £5 for a replacement ticket!).
I've done the same, fingers crossed it works as won't be turning up more than 5 minutes before kick off.
Where is that nice guy from Oxford that helped us count the dots to guage the Checkatrade Trophy Final attendance!?
No chance Saka will start or even feature unless we are chasing the game ...too important for us in the league and he deserves a rest to keep him fresh
Not sure if Tavares is fit enough to start, has he played any 21s games since returning from injury?
I guess he'll have to, and should be able to get through 60 mins or so and bring on Saka or O'Hare for the last half hour (or a youth teamer).

strongest 11, good win breed more confidence and then hope for a home tie against a struggling prem team
No reason not to go strong tbh. 5 days rest since Middlesbrough and a week before Leicester. Can’t be arsed for us to get embarrassed again at home by a lower league side.
Robins really doesn’t like the cup does he? Sounds like he’s saying fans don’t either cos they’d don’t turn up?
“
We want to try and have a cup run, Doug wants a cup run and that was one of the things he said, and I think that is certainly something our supporters like as we know they love a cup run.
“Everybody talks about FA Cup and how interested they are and I just want to see the numbers of the crowd tomorrow and see if the people come along and watch it.”

Actually, it is a bit cheeky from him.
You cannot really blame people for not turning up given that In the last few years our cup runs have been awful. Robins has to own that.
If were going all out then give Robert Jarni his debut too
Dint relise we had sent him on loan. Good to see the teams part of the clubs website is updated
Yeah so hopefully he will put a strong side out.
Nothing worse than fans making the effort and him not being arsed, same as the League Cup when we tracked to Burton and he put out an awful lineup.
Can't moan about fans not being bothered and turning up when he doesn't
I thought he completed his loan and is back now, it was only a month. Unless we have sent him back out again this week and I missed it.
Edit. He comes back on Monday.

Why? He's just come back from injury. If he doesn't get any game time, I don't think that means it's the end. If MR does want to take it seriously this year, then you'd expect he'd have Wright, Simms and Sakamoto starting and Tavares on the bench.
I think there's more recent reasons as well. I know it's cheap but people have paid for aways to Leeds, Sunderland and Boro; more casual fans will probably choose between this and Leicester as well.
You're right though, success brings the crowds in as we've seen and I'd say that's competition dependant. Hardly given us reason in recent years (obviously not all his fault).
