Ben woodburn scored 33 goals and 17 assists in one season for me in fm 18 i am officially worried lol

Hope watford loss hasnt harmed the unbeaten mentality. Tough game for sure today

Interesting that Robin's has shown loyalty to Westbrooke and Hiwula despite their recent performances. From a wanting to win perspective also worrying.
If they have done their homework and stop Kelly having time on the ball, like Gillinham last week, we will struggle as Westbrooke can't get hold of a game and is a "play it safe player" rather than having any real creativity.
Hiwula (granted I wasn't at Watford!) has been poor for last few games.
Would rather Robin's have used the defeat at Watford as a chance to change the starting 11 from league games.
Worry about today... please prove me wrong CCFC!!

Max back on the bench, must have made up with Robins. Either that or supposed falling out was all a load of bollocks.

Fair enough keeping an unbeaten team as consistent as possible. Shipley and Westbrooke haven’t warranted dropping IMO so I’m OK with O’Hare coming on against a tired defence. Good to see Max on the bench.

Strong bench with the exception of Baka who is progressively getting worse, needs to sharpen up his act

Getting worse? He hasn't had a chance since Godden came in!

Just get behind him, he works his socks off, a good replacement for Godden coming off the bench though.

The latter indeed, just made up bollocks....

Literally talking about our top scorer and our top assister.

Westbrooke very average player. Assists from set pieces and vs Exeter! Hiwula scored 2 against a weakened Exeter side.
Both been poor and we need more if we want to win games like today. Would love to be proved wrong!!

Not sure that bench is a strong as people are making out. Unless they are talking literally because of the combined weight on it. Baka has done nothing this season. Kastaneer and Biamou have looked off the pace. McFadz and Watson will only be used if there's an injury or someone is having an absolute stinker and that leaves O'Hare.

You accidentally gave Oxford a goal in your prediction.

McFazden dropped for hyam or carrying an injury?

Very surprised that O’Hare isn’t starting.

I'm absolutely shocked by that.

He was injured not long ago.
Edit: out of the squad against Gillingham with injury, sub at Watford, sub again today.

Think I'm a lot less knee-jerk that many posters! But now I've said it, Kastaneer will probably come on and score with his first touch and Baka will have his Charlton 5 mins for the season.

 

[Nick]

Not sure why he hasn't started O'Hare, unless he's tired and struggling from in the week.

You had a pre-10am beer yet mate??

 

[woody11462]

Reported they are missing Brannigan and Taylor today though. Hoping that weakens them considerably.

Brannigan starting after all, must have been putting false info out about him being injured.

 

[Adge]

Jeez! Can anyone smell horse crap?!

Jeez! Can anyone smell horse crap?!

Is Tim Fisher there?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Clive thinks we're still playing Watford

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How many city in the home end

 

[Johhny Blue]

Going to Oxford today.

Unfortunately it's for a two day break to celebrate our wedding anniversary and not watch the football.

Enjoy SBA. Going for a 3-1 win to us.

Get to the game. Use make up sex as motivation

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Scrappy stuff so far but Shipley spraying it around nicely

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Hiwula will score.

He was told to sit on the bench so he did

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I really hope not

 

[Nick]

Not really much going on yet. Knocking out around nicely but no real threat yet

 

[CanadianCCFC]

LOL

 

[Nick]

Mackie really should have scored for them then. Unmarked on the pen spot and spoons it wide

 

[robbiekeane]

Sitter for Mackey. Dabo left him completely unmarked.

 

[LastGarrison]

Sounds like Oxford missed a good chance?
