Pre-Match Thread Oxford United vs Southend United

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

This is not going to be easy. I think I read somewhere before the weekend, that Oxford had only lost 2 in 18 in all competitions, and they won on Saturday as well, so there form over the past few months is equal to ours (although I think 3 or 4 of those games are in the FA Cup).

Would do well to take a point. All 3 will be a huge bonus.

Massive game this one. A defeat will see them level on points with us. Ordinarily I'd be happy with a point but I think this is a game where 3 points is vital.

We'll win this one, cos we'll be wound up about Saturday and will be fired up!

COYB!

Our strikers couldnt score past a pitiful Millwall defence on Saturday.

So lets go Mooney upfront on his own :whistling:

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

We need Wordsworth and Timlin to turn up today, if they're selected

I think they all travelled together as a squad so hopefully Wordsworth and Timlin should have been with them. I think Phil also still pins destination labels on their tracksuits:smiles:

I think he'll swap McGl for Will.

Whether that's right or not, I'm not 100% sure, but minimal disruption of the team is the way ahead.

Personally, I'd play O'Neill for Will, but as O'Neill didn't even make the bench on Saturday, I'd be surprised if PB does the same.

The key will be to stop the supply line through Chris Maguire. A battle Lenny or Tims has to win.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Another big test. Always important to respond well after a defeat. The spirit of the squad appears as strong as it's quality. So hopeful.

Ranger is on the bench ! Very interesting :/)

 

[AndyT]

Can't see PSG causing an upset.

They were very average in the Group stages.
