Lose this and il be having my monthly meltdown

Fixed for you

 

[SwanLane]

I doubt that Kitching and Binks will play together. Not saying it definitely couldn’t work but there’s very few successful pairings of 2 left footed CBs working in the pro-game.

Discuss the Coventry City - Oxford United match, tactics and predictions

Cheers for turning up late!

 

[fatso]

They’re on a high and doing well. We are stuttering. Wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t win TBH.

We should win this with the SBA in full voice.

I'd prefer to see EMC replace Allen, he could be a great option in midfield.
If not EMC then Palmer.

 

[Gibbo]

According to their forum they havnt sold many tickets. Talking of less than 2k at the moment and no ticket sales on the night.
excuses of Friday night, work, poor transport links etc. pretty disappointing if thats the case from them

..well I will be driving up from near Oxford. It is a pain in the evenings, you either have to set off way to early or come at the last minute as one way or the other you catch the traffic. And nobody ever said that finding parking online was easy and intuitive for the first time visitor.

 

[Gibbo]

...and one for those who have seen both games so far. What is the best central defence combo. Thomas and ?

 

[Potbellypig]

Still full of hope and optimism despite the result against Stoke.

I see loads of tickets available in the FZ.

Remember the outrage about Doug implementing strict rules?

Did they not all sell out as season tickets or did they keep some back for walk ups?

 

[procdoc]

We should be winning this if we have promotion aspirations

i could see him starting Palmer tbh

Game 2 asking for a 4-4-2

Unfortunately Thomas has been pretty poor in both games. He is a near mirror image of himself this time last year. Lets hope he can get himself up a couple of notches sharpish.

 

[rexo87]

Dovin

Lati Thomas Binks

MVE Rudi Eccles Saka

EMC Simms Wright

That's the formation that gets our better players on the pitch together

I’d be tempted if we played that to have Kitching in the center and Thomas at RCB and dropping Lati to the bench

Like the idea of the 3-4-3. Though wonder if we have the experience in the back line required to organise.

Yeah would probably be a shambles if we just threw it in. But defo something they should work on imo

 

[Mr Panda]

Kitching was really good against Bristol. I'd be tempted to try him & Binks together.
I think it will be Allen, Eccles & Rudoni in the middle.

You can play two right footers together but you can't play two left footers together, that's the rules

Holiday I suppose

 

[Paxman II]

I expect a cricket score to set the season up. Oxford will be relegated.
Up the old five is very likely for those of you older ones on here.

 

[CV22SBA]

Need to be more respectful of Oxford, I think they’ve improved since we spanked them in the cup. Need to be working at full steam to take the 3 points and move on, too much expectation here will ruin the atmosphere

They also rested 7 players in the cup whereas we fielded the first team.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Oxford on a high with 2 wins so far but they were both at home. Scored 4 goals.

If we don’t beat Oxford at home in a night game at the CBS then forget this team has any chance of being a serious promotion contender.

This should be a 3-0 at least.

Robins won’t play 4-4-2 as he will want Rudoni in that team. Suspect it will be:

Dovin
MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Torp Eccles
Tatsu Rudoni Wright
Simms

Ridiculous post

Highly unlikely, I'd say - considering both club's start to the season.

An early goal may help us, but can see this being a nervy affair in front of an expectant and potentially irritable crowd.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

They also rested 7 players in the cup whereas we fielded the first team.

We made 9 changes?

 

[fernandopartridge]

If Kitching is available I'd bring him in for Binks. Eccles, Torp and Rudoni in midfield.
Saka, Simms and Wright as the forward three.

 

[WestEndAgro]

It's a do not lose, rather than a must win, we need to build a long unbeaten run at the CBS, make it a cauldron of noise, and a place sides don't want to visit.
PS Hope we win, before I get jumped on by a pack of

 

[Bugsy]

I wouldn't be against giving BTA a go on the right side of the three instead of Saka

Oxford have won their first two games so will be confident of getting something. Probably shut up shop as they lost 5-2 in the Cup back in Jan at our place .

 

[Ross Dublin]

I think if we are going to go for it...at home against Oxford we should pick an attacking team who are comfortable on the ball and passing/playing out. Not the team I'd always pick, but what I think should be most effective v oxford with personal available.

Fully sold out. People are already reselling tickets.

And 8pm kick off.
