Not sure if it's 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 (and I'm sure the players won't be either) but the team is

Gillespie
Devlin
Guthrie
Wilson
Leahy
Chambers
Edwards
Morris
Oztumer
Ismail
Roberts


Ismail must have impressed against West Brom under 12's then? Whitter's losing patience with Baky?



No Jackson. Not even on the bench. Is he injured or been caught offside in the car park ?


Would imagine he's on his way out on loan...Forrest Green anyone? Although kick and rush footy is not his bag is it?

Me too, looks a little 'trial and error' lightweight up front, however, you never know, lets hope your prediction IS right after all, it's already 2 minutes after 3 and we aye losin!!!!

25 minutes gone and Oxford have 78% possession!!!!!!! Morris hits a shot that goes high and wide, now that's unusual!
Is there anybody out there? Or has everyone written off the season and gone out shopping with the missus?

I'm watching and there's no way Oxford have had 78% possession. Morris's shot was on target and nearly went under the keeper and got spilt wide of the post.

Oxford actually look like the away side

0-1 Oztumer

We look up for this, Oxford don't seem to be much of a threat. Good chance for the away win on what I've seen so far.

Morris also hit the post.

Good first half looking at the stats. Oxford had 2 shots in the first 7 mins but haven't mustered an attempt since.

could be 3-0 according to WM...lets hope we don't rue those missed chances. At least we are creating good opportunities so lets hope we can continue to play well.

I wouldn't read too much into those stats, Oxford have improved a bit but we still look in control.

Kinsella and Baky, and we thought we could hold on for a win. :?

Don't let Kinsella take a throw in!!!

Is it law that Rothrum have to win 5-1 at home?

Perhaps someone's fingertip brushed the elbow on an on-rushing forward.

Harsh, but you can't touch in the box. :!:
