Wilson, Lati, KKH, Brau, Sheaf, Sakamoto, Simms, Eccles, Hughes

Lati still isn't fit and is behind Eccles (who is playing in the u21s today)

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

Just watched the press conference gotta love BTA's enthusiasim and passion for the club

 

[procdoc]

I'll be glad to get to Monday night so i don't have to keep opening this thread

Forget Gus, never happening.

Been really keen to see us go for Boving but too much interest from elsewhere so not holding out any hope on this now.

Got this niggling feeling very little will happen and there will be an awful lot of disappointed people by 7pm on Monday.

Wrong thread mate

Wrong thread mate

Just realised, anyway......3-1 win

 

[Macca1987]

I'd take a nervy 3-2 win with a missed penalty like last year if it means 3 points

Yeah, but only scoring 3????

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

2-1 Rudoni and Simms

 

[lifeskyblue]

A win by any score line will cement excellent start to the season. These won’t be a pushover after their mid week drubbing. 2-1 City

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Don't think they're particularly confident

@Nick reckon we could get something like this for match threads?

 

[Nick]

Sure. I assume it's just a poll?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Sure. I assume it's just a poll?

Looks to be a feature where people type in numbers to a box for each side representing goals, but probably just a poll still yeah

 

[Tealeaf]

Oh No - to many wanna be comedians would want to get in on the act, and say something stupid thinking it's funny.

I’ve just watched the Brighton Oxford highlights. They had a fair few chances and the Brighton keeper (who was obviously rated higher than Rushworth) made some great saves, so it’s not going to be easy.

 

[JSL]

Or felt his injury again?

 

[Gint11]

15% have selected 0-9

 

[Gint11]

I think if we score an early goal, it will be another mauling on the cards. They are low on confidence and fragile and got pumped 6-0 in the week. If we turn up, it’s a comfortable win.

Que 1-0 defeat!

 

[wingy]

That would rule out the 'fairly accurate' part of my post

Other websites are available and preferable may I say and the football authorities should be ashamed for using such a tool and our club or any club for that matter.

 

[Hobo]

HT seems like pre arranged management tbf

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Long shot and don’t normally ask, but I don’t suppose anyone has a spare ticket for this? Would appreciate if anyone happens to, to let me know. Couldn’t make it originally but I can now Thanks!

 

[JohnWH]

Turns out I've been scheduled to go visit my mom midday tomorrow, followed by dinner with my brother and wife at the steakhouse (my wife sets my social calendar then tells me afterward).
Safe travels to all going, enjoy yourselves. If you need a reason to pre game a second, third, fourth pint, feel free to do it in honor of those like me who will be missing out. Maybe get a chance to watch the replay on Sunday I hope.

Looking forward to an 8-0 win. More realistically, with the right starting line up methinks a comfortable 2-0 win. Rudoni for at least one, maybe Wright the other.

 

[robbiekeane]

4-0 city tomorrow i reckon, dominance

 

[Lamps]

4-0 city tomorrow i reckon, dominance

I'm sorry but you're just wrong. All the facts are there right in front of you.

We play today

 

[CrawleySkyBlue]

Anyone got any idea of best places to park near the ground?

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

Feeling positive today, 4 nil away win.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Last Saturday against Birmingham they played with a low block and basically “parked the bus”. I’m wondering if they’ll do that in a home match?
I’m confident of a city win, but think it might be more difficult than we expect.
Hopefully, we get a couple of first half goals that force them to shift tactics

This will be a big test.
Playing against a low block away from home with a 4 at the back was,a bit of an achilles heel last season
This game should tell us more about our seasons prospects than hammering QPR last week.

 

[Jamesimus]

Can’t see past a 17-17 draw, with all of Oxfords 17 goals coming completely against the run of play and with plenty of help from the ref.

If we get 2 ahead it's done, the longer Oxford are at least within 1 goal will be nervy as they are basically a set piece team and we've seen how we've dealt with that recently.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Reckon we’ll nick this 2-1 too much arrogance round here for me, Oxford are a decent side and know how to snatch a game especially with Rowet in charge. Just got to stay focussed and fight for the win, Wright and Torp to score with them to score a set piece goal last 10 minutes to create the most dramatic end to the game where we look like the struggling side after dominating most of the game

 

[procdoc]

This will be much tougher than people expect. Those predicting we win 4-0 etc will be in for a rude awakening

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

4-2 City, Simms to come off the bench to put the game to bed in injury time and give everyone something to talk about over the international break.

 

[JSL]

With all the hype on the transfer window thread, this thread must be one if the smallest match threads for a while
