OUFC say that Goodwin is being eased back. I hope that’s not code for relapse.

He's joining us in the SSU for tea & biscuits. Nice warm blanket. Do try not to disturb him, there's a good lad!

Have you bought your massage gun?

I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

Oxford United 2 - Wigan Athletic 0.

 

[Andy1505]

No Henry, McEachran, Smyth or Negru in the 18.....

Burey, Bodin, Tyler and Rodrigues is quite a bench to have in reserve, add Goodwin to that and we are looking so much stronger than before.....

Is that a euphemism for something?

 

[Oxfordpete]

Like the look of this team, when Goodwin is fitter too,……..Am glad Bodin and Rodrigues not starting
Burey also to come on later

 

[BrockBuster]

Disappointed not to see RR start, especially so given how much work he does out of possession. For me it should have been McGuane to miss out.

Assume Brannagan will push on a bit, let's hope it's proactive from him with incisive passing rather than lurking on the edge of the box having loads of potshots while slowly getting more and more wound up.

Anyone else trying to get onto iFollow, but without the "watch" and "listen" buttons appearing?

Completely agree. If for no other reason than McGuane needs a rest

Goodwin?

Three points is a MUST!! No excuses anymore.

That’s a strong line up.

This is grating. Is he really not fit enough for 10 mins if a goal down and worth throwing on the bench?

He best have got this right. This is near enough a must win so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume he simply wasn’t fit to contribute.

Fascinating XI - be really interesting to see how Matete and Dale look from the start, and how Josh Murphy gets on. Hopefully we don't break him again.

I would have rested McGuane rather than RR, but I can see the logic (probably see the reverse on Saturday against Wycombe).

And a very strong bench again......though the absence of Goodwin is a worry. It's a good thing that Sparky is like an over-excited labrador that you can just keep sending out twice a week to run around like a maniac for 90 minutes!

 

[Swaby39]

Brave selection from Des. Not against that, he’s the manager, but the sort of choices that will come under huge scrutiny with defeat and be lauded if we win. I hope it goes his way, we just need a win.

You’re right Harris’ fitness is incredible

 

[Sheik djibouti]

Looks like we're hoping to overload out wide and give their back 3 the runaround to create the space

Closed my computer, got it going again, all is well.

 

[Sarge]

UP THE MANOR!

Is Matete playing further forward than he should be?

 

[Northstandboy]

Atmosphere is as bad as the weather!

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Moore is having a shocker so far. Three errors already
