Match Thread Coventry City v Oxford United - FA CUP 3RD ROUND - 6th January 12:30 (11 Viewers)

The Tavares-mania of 2022 was undoubtedly hilarious for all involved, something for everyone there.

Don't think there was any mania but this targeting of young players is unfair. Same with Norton-Cuffy.

Well he is definitely going for it

Why ffs?

For people who want to try avoid getting ill?

Good to see Kai Andrews on the bench, standout player when I watched the FAYC game.

I’ve heard there’s gonna be a minutes applause if he touches the ball

 

[stevefloyd]

Come on Simms your chance is here show what you're made of

 

[Sick Boy]

He has been injured for a year.

If he was as good as you think he is, he’d have featured a lot more before getting injured. I trust Robins on this one.

 

[steve101]

Exciting team selection. Hopefully get out of sight and then be able to freshen up after the hour mark.
Great opportunity for Simms. Will be interesting to see Latibeudiere at CB in a 4.

Is there a time tunnel that leads to 2019 outside the ground too?

 

[TomRad85]

Stronger team than he'd usually put out. Maybe listened to King about wanting a cup run.

Happy to see us going strong and not taking the piss like last year.

Hopefully Wright is only out of the squad as a precaution.

It’s only Oxford though don’t forget

Apparently he was available for selection, if so it seems that's the case.

 

[steve101]

We will be lacking aerial ability in defence but Thomas is deserving of a rest. Opportunity for Binks to try and keep the shirt with Kitching available next match.

I have little idea how good he is as I have hardly seen him play. I just don't get the targeting young players. And Robins wouldn't have extended his contract if he didn't rate him.

Hopefully we score a few early on and give Andrews some minutes.

 

[Tommo1993]

Don’t want to belittle opponents but I fully expect a convincing win.

Goals are goals whoever we're playing...but I get your point

It’s the JSB activity tent isn’t it ? colouring books and plasticine, not vaccinations !

Should steamroll them by rights with that side. Have Oxford made any changes?

Robins has seen him a lot than any of us and clearly doesn’t think he’s up to it. It’s hardly targeting him, I’d be delighted to see Andrews get some minutes today.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It’s a joke because of the tent…

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Good team good weather and hopefully a good game.

 

[shmmeee]

Surprised at Eccles and Sheaf in the middle TBH. Eccles has played a lot of minutes. Wonder if this means Kelly is on his way out and maybe a CM in soon?

 

[procdoc]

Stronger lineup than all of us anticipated

 

[shmmeee]

Also think people are seriously underestimating Oxford. What would we have thought of some of these comments about us when we were in L1?

Shouldn’t have said that, he’ll be in there eating the crayons.

Too late, Baldys triggered, ESB1 in 5,4,3,2,1...

why not? you found the one to 1974

Just read through what hackneyfox posting when there was a chance we’d play them

It’s a fair point. But we’ve just done some real business on Sunderland and Middlesbrough. We’re certainly capable of thumping them, wouldn’t say it’s an unfair expectation.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Took my 4 year old Granddaughter to her 1st ever match back in 2014...

Worcester City at home in the cup, hoping she'd get a taste for the great game
Needless to say, she never expressed an interest to develop her passion for the Sky Blues after that thriller

Took my daughter to Newport away…

Good to see that it appears Robins isn't though. Yes I suspect they will be a strong team and it shouldn't be easy by any means. Pleased to see we are taking this seriously but resting Thomas and Wright who have both played a lot recently.

 

[clint van damme]

Hope she had arm bands on!

 

[no_loyalty]

Quite a few Oxford fans are suggesting Rodrigues shouldn’t be playing due to suspension.

 

[MalcSB]

It’s quiet in the concourse. The magic of the FA cup!

I think on a net basis there was pretty much no targeting of Tavares. Relative to his actual output he might be one of the most popular young players we’ve ever had.
