I don’t think we should be starting Leigh in his first game back.

I think we should start Leigh in his first game back. When he inevitably gets injured, I can then moan about Des starting Leigh in his first game back.

I've missed him so much. I want to see him play as soon as possible, even if it's only for a few minutes.

Christ he’s got a journey to make. Sussex to Carlisle.

We could divert and offer to pick him up on our team bus. He could then join in the players’ card school on the back seat and lead the banter.

According to Tyler Burey it's headphones on rather than banter. Maybe that's because he didn't learn much Danish though.

Previous encounter of note

Limbs on that terrace when the second flew in!

Ah yes, I remember that one - my first and last trip to Carlisle - in my memory Matt Elliott was only just in Cumbria when he scored, not the tap-in shown here!

Proper football, digging it out of the mud ...........

Can`t imagine todays players lasting 30 minutes on pitches like that.

One of the biggest 'limbs' I've ever been in was when Sercs scored there in the promotion season. Happy hunting ground for OUFC?

Can't believe it was 7 years ago, feels like yesterday

I see we are wearing that bloody awful kit again tomorrow!

why? its a fuckingjonah of a kit - lost every time its been worn this season

 

[McXal]

I’ve not got a ticket in advance, but my 8YO daughter has worn me down all week and convinced me a good thing to do with our Saturday is a long ass road trip to Carlisle.

I’m assuming the pay on the day tickets will be available (otherwise may have to try to hope they lovely Carlisle folk will let us purchase a ticket in the home end!)

Looking forward to us having a slightly stronger team for the first time in a while. I also wouldn’t be rushing Leigh back in. Obviously if he was fit he’d be my first name on the team sheet - but we’ve missed both his on-field attributes but also his experience BADLY. Easing him back in over a couple of weeks where he can be around the team and coming off the bench is ok with me

I think it looks sharp

Good luck and safe travels to all those making the long journey up to Carlisle tomorrow.

Feeling confident that the boys will bring 3 points back to Oxfordshire. Hopefully Harris continues his little spell of scoring goals, wouldn't mind seeing Rodrigues get one as well, and a clean sheet for Cumming on his debut (don't ask for much do I!) 2-0 Oxford

Great looking kit, hopefully we can break the losing run in it!

 

[Yellowecky]

It's a bit early to expect miracles from new and returning players, so I'm going for a draw:

Carlisle United 1 - Oxford United 1.

Anything other than a loss would be acceptable to me. Good luck to Cumming and Burey. Good luck Amy in not getting any further injuries to deal with.
