Sticking my neck out here but I think if we score more goals than them we will win, thats only a guess though because we might score some own goals and indeed they may also

Glad to see Gary Neville is signed up on here!

I fancy a clean sheet today no idea why, 2-0, Hiwula and Chaplin

He sits more on the fence than that

I'm going for 5-0, Thomas, Bakayoko, Jones, Biamou, Ponticelli

Feeling a goal fest today by usual standards at the Ricoh.
3-3 draw I’m thinking.

No idea which way he will go on team selection, guessing it is down to if Doyle is fit or Ogogo to what he decides.

2-1 City

According to Oxford fans, at last week's game Southend were wasting time right from the first whistle. Could be a frustrating afternoon.

We need to score early then.

Or have a strong ref

Booking for time wasting in the first ten minutes to set the tone would be nice

Could you imagine? Ref rarely books in the first 10 mins unless there’s a physical attack. Do you remember wise making a tackle in the first 5 second once and not getting booked

It would soon stop it all though wouldn't it? Id love for it to be the same no matter what minute it is.

Was telling my lad who wants to ref when he’s old enough that he gets to decide what his pitch rules are. We were told in training that persistent infringement of the laws would be three fouls but you rarely see that. Much like the 6 second rule for keepers. To be fair one of the things that stopped me cautioning many players was the thought of having to complete triplicate reports for caution and sending off. If you ref 3 games at the weekend that’s a lot of paperwork

Has the 6 second rule ever been upheld?

 

[covcity4life]

Is Thomas out? If so I'll go 1-1

But just hope to see us press hard again and play it on ground

Your wife says you do all time!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Looking for the same intensity from the start as Boxing Day. It was great to see effort and desire a long with some slick passing.

Ther rule has changed over the years.

Interesting that refs don’t follow the law as written

6 second rule.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Current rule

http://www.thefa.com/football-rules.../football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct

controls the ball with the hands for more than six seconds before releasing

Current rule

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct

I have counted 15-20 some games.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

How much would it be to take a five year old today does anybody know

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I and a bit of an idiot. I was so wound up that the red allowed the kick off even though the second player touched the Allen before the ball had travelled its circumference

The Law is there, why don’t they use it? It might stop the keeper of the team who is leading falling over and lying on the ball every time he makes a catch. Drives me up the wall.

You'll have a job. Ponticelli is in Tesco with his foot in a cast.

£13 on the gate or you can go to the ticket office and sign them up for the JSBs, think that's £25, and then they get free entry.

assume he is going central with Bayliss on the right.

Will be interesting to see how Westbrooke does.

 

[sw88]

Sam McCallum. Where’d he come from? Has he even appeared in Checkatrade?

 

[Nick]

McCallum, Doyle and Andreu on the bench too.

Brown not in the squad.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Where’s Allassani

Yeah, came on against Cheltenham. Looked quite good. Left Back!

Came on and went into a crunching tackle, seemed good going forward too.
