Tough game coming up!

 

[uptheus]

Would be great to get a win, but think this is a must not lose game from a continued belief and aspirations perspective.

Good journey all.

 

[Symp59]

They outplayed us at home ,good side but we have a good looking squad now .As the old saying goes looks good on paper but can we play on the grass. A must not loose game.

REF WATCH

London based Paul Howard is today’s man in the middle at Bloomfield Road. Howard was appointed to the EFL in the summer of 2020.
This season he has taken charge of 26 games issuing 97 yellow cards and four reds. His last U’s match was the 2-2 FA Cup home draw with Bristol Rovers
in November 2021. In his first season as a FL referee he oversaw the 2-1 win at Wigan and the 6-0 away win at Crewe.

It's going to be a tough game today Blackpool are a decent side they are also very good at home BUT with players returning we are also a decent team.

3-1 them just being abit better than us on the day

Not feeling too confident.

However all of a sudden we have several players available returning from injuries, which is encouraging. How match fit and up to speed these players are will have a bearing on the result I suspect.

Despite just two points from the last four games, I’d take a draw against a playoff rival away from home.

 

[mooro]

Would take a point....

...and some indication of a style beginning to emerge now we have a choice of players would be a bonus

 

[Dilla]

3-2 Oxford win. Harris hat-trick.

 

[uptheus]

If we lose, is the season over?

No, I never think a season’s over until it’s not mathematically possible, but just don’t think it would be good for morale, especially having not had a win in 5 games, plus losing to one of the other contenders and potentially ground on the others above us.

 

[uptheus]

They outplayed us at home ,good side but we have a good looking squad now .As the old saying goes looks good on paper but can we play on the grass. A must not loose game.

The thing is, a lot of our squad have been out with injury and not actually played together yet, so may be a bit too soon, fingers crossed it’s not though.
