By the sounds of it we fluffed plenty of chances first half .. but another pre season win is pleasing

Do wonder if 4 at the back is forced or if we’re working on a style change.

Looks like we’re trying 4-3-3

I don't mind 4-3-3 in principle could really suit some of the team... Just not sure we quite have the forward players for it... Playing 3 out and out strikers up front will make for a very narrow front 3, making it potentially easier to defend. Will be interesting to see how Robins has it working.

He might see a role for Waghorn playing slightly deeper than the other two and being a build up link between the midfield and forwards?

Think the U23s fixture against Wolves tomorrow will involve a lot of first team too

 

[Hobo]

Could do because it is all about getting minutes into legs and building match fitness/sharpness.

Friendly or not I’m glad we beat them fuckers - hate them with a passion.

the horrific double over us in league two, then the shitty penalty shootout loss in the checkatrade.

SHFWR lol

Yep, bit of a mismatch really

REPORT: Wolves U23 1-8 Sky Blues

The Sky Blues got more minutes in the tank this afternoon when they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-23s at the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground.

Hamer straight from a corner, shame after threatening it all last season he’s finally done it in a training match.

No Doyle either? Is he not with the squad yet @Skybluebeliever ?

Said in his interview he's starting training with us next week.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Wolves have taken their better U23s on tour so I would guess this was close to an U18 side for them

Sheaf with another goal

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Great to see the immense Sheaf scoring @Earlsdon_Skyblue1

He's on fire in preseason! All jokes aside if he can really kick on to even 50% of the level you think he already is, then I will be very happy indeed! Big season for him and all the signs are good at the moment.

Waggy scored a pretty good goal. Ball over the top from COH nice touch and finish. Hopefully we get the highlights.

Yeah saw that and Sheaf's goal (really good assist from Tavares I think) from his instagram.
Haven't been able to find the other highlights though

Understandable from fans perspective but it would be a bit classless. This was a Championship first team v U18 players

You lucky people going to Oxford on Saturday will be one of the first to see their new kit

New Kit Unveiled on Saturday

Have you got the links?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

On Instagram stories which you can’t post, they’re still up though (24hrs) if you go to their profiles

 

[AOM]

Yep on Ben Sheaf's IG story. Waghorn and O'Hare posted the other goal yesterday so it might still be up!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If Oxford were smart they’d release some marketing saying that Jodi Jones is going to be involved on Saturday. Would probably sell 500 more tickets to a certain subsection of our fans. Get Biamou on trial too and they might hit 1k.
