I've never been to the ground but did visit Oxford for that friendly in 2003, ended up staying on the piss in the city centre

Think I went to that game, very hot day and had a couple of pints in the bar at the stadium if I remember.
Didn’t it kick off in the city centre that day too?

Yeah it did kick off

Went to the friendly at the Manor Ground. I think we won 1-0 thanks to a goal from David Smith. Not sure what year it was.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

As it's not on ifollow, anyone know if it's on CWR?

Had a look the game is on BBC radio Oxford, you might be able to get it online. Usually there is copyright and it cuts off 3pm but it shouldn’t be issue for pre season?

Had a look at the Oxford website.

In their "Live Match Centre", it's showing the option to buy a video pass for the game.

Good spot, cheers

Can’t imagine it kicking off in Oxford city centre. Unless someone did a disrespectful chant about Wittgenstein or something.

We're in the George, was packed here for the league game a couple of years ago, but we're the only ones here today, so wouldn't bother.

It's two places though Oxford isn't it? Idyllic university city and a rough industrial town

The city centre is most definitely the former!

Be in the second half team with Doyle, Sheaf, etc I’d assume?

No Sheaf either

Nah I think that’s all we’ve got

 

[shmmeee]

Wonder if that’s a flat 3 in the middle. If so we’ve done 3421, 3412, 352, 433, 4222, and 424 this preseason. Guess robins is taking the plan B thing seriously

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Jodi Jones is on the bench for Oxford

 

[steve101]

To me this looks like Wilson is now regarded as first choice.

Then Robins has lost the plot

Just done the same but now got no option to watch it anywhere that I can see. Will it magically appear before KO, or am I once again going to have to kick the cat at 3pm?!

O'Hare is the key player to Robins' 'box' formation. Without him I'd think he'd have to look at alternatives.

Why? Because he's starting in a meaningless friendly? Must mean we only see O'Hare as second choice to Allen too?

Absolutely no chance. Pre Season is the only time Wilson may be guaranteed some minutes, or the dead rubbers that he played in at the end of last season. Moore is clearly number 1 and rightly so. Although I think Wilson is a more than adequate back up.

Is Brannagan capable of stepping up to the Championship do you think? Hopefully he has a decent game today to catch Robins’ eye if he hasn’t already

Doyle isnt training with us until next week.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He was in the training pictures this week, I think they’re giving him a bit of extra time before thrusting him into games as he was away with England

 

[steve101]

Because he ended the season as first choice and has started most of the friendlies. This to me looks like a starting lineup as season kicks off, with O'Hare most likely elsewhere

I agree that Moore is the better keeper. Just not sure Robins does, or there is another reason Moore is playing second fiddle. There was a rumour previously by one of the ITKs that he may be leaving.

Maybe it will go live approx 15 mins beforehand. Hadn't been back on since, but I'll have a look now and report back !

Edit: yes, see what you mean, you click on link and it goes to match centre, yet no usual 'watch' option. No panic yet, but if nothing there at 2.50pm will storm the barricades!
