Watford v Oxford (3 Viewers)

[Adge]

Off to both of these but it looks like the Watford end on Tuesday night.
So what do we realistically want? The cup win or the 3 points on Saturday?
3 points for me every time and I think a few may be “rested”

[Exit Stage Left]

Why do we need to aim for only one or the other? Let's try for a cup win AND three points in the same week!

 

[ccfcmad1]

If given the choice got to be three points at Oxford keep the leauge form flowing but like exit says fuck it let's win them both....

 

[cv3]

Robin's said the only way he can bring anyone else in is if they have a good cup run or st Andrew's attendances increase. 3pts for me but would like a cup run too please

 

[mark_ccfc]

3 points please. Too many fixtures, we will end up with too many injuries, would rather we dropped out of cup competitions and concentrated on the league.

Id get slapped 10-0 Tuesday if it meant we could get a 1-0 win at Oxford

Watford - 3294 of 3350 allocation. Oxford - 1260 of 1796 allocation


Sold so far, fantastic effort for both matches I have no doubt Oxford will sell out PUSB

Alternate scenario:

Win Watford, get Man City away next round, use the cash to fund promotion push second half of the season.

Would like to beat Watford, but it’s unlikely. There’s no reason why we can’t go and play well in both these these games.

I wouldn’t mind a draw at Oxford.

Jobello just posted he’s in Paris on Instagram so I think he’s being rested

Wow! She's fallen a long way as far as celebrity partners is concerned.

Alternate scenario. Beat Watford, get Villa at home in the next round, Villa sell out the away stand, remaining 3 stands end up packed with Sky Blue and Blue Noses. We beat the villa THEN a nice away day to Man City.

I'm away on holiday for the 3rd round so I'm fully expecting us to progress on Tuesday and draw United/City/Liverpool/Everton away.

OK, yours is better

3 points against Oxford and a Replay against Watford at the Mighty St Andrews ground (we need the Moolah to help cover the stay aways!)

no further than a player being in Newcastle on a Bank Holiday is it!

 

[pusbccfc]

Need to go for both.

Robins' track record in the cups is pretty poor.

Imagine a third round game against Spurs or United. TV coverage, massive crowds and huge away followings would be very beneficial.

No replays is there?

Straight to pens after 90 mins I think?

Yeah. Smart too, less football for the players, helps fans get home earlier than after extra time.

If it’s at St Andrews won’t they stay away anyway if there was a replay?

oh balls! forgot about that

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Just read that Matt Taylor and Cameron Brannagan picked up groin injuries for Oxford against B Rovers. A big plus for us, assuming they are both out. Hopefully Woodbury and one or two more get crocked tonight against Millwall. Back from hols for the Oxford game. Can't wait!

Don’t care. Play the U23s and just take the cash.

Why would you want a load of Birmingham fans at our game?

I wouldn't, but if we pulled Villa at home, it would happen whether we liked it or not. Anyway, if we dont sell out (because the boycotters are actually for real and wont turn up (doubtful)) then the extra money for our purse from blues fans come january will be good.

What about the second half?

It'd be even more demoralising as they'd almost certainly play a much weakened team and even with their reserves and kids playing we'd take a battering.

Both games now sold out

Yeah, sounds good. Better than getting Man City at home as we'd only get 5000 or so...

Yes, I saw that. Grabbed tickets to both games as soon as they were released to STHs, they sell out really quick nowadays, hardly any get to general sale.
