Away Match Build Up 15/08/23 - L1: Derby County v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

On to Derby now!

 

[Cass63]

Batter um.

 

[werthersoriginal]

I’ll take a draw, Bodin in the 87th minute. I concede we’ll lose to big-boned Barnsley but then we’ll beat Charlton.

 

[Tenbury Yellow]

I'm strangely confident. Looking forward to a win!

Keep between the white lines and don't park in a disabled space if not entitled.

 

[Essexyellows]

Any advice on parking please?

Don`t park anywhere near the ground on the industrial estates etc..... saw nothing but queues trying to get out.

Take the train and a nice riverside walk.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Lancashire official Ben Toner is the referee tomorrow night.

 

[mooro]

0-0

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Unfortunately can see anything other than an home win .IMO the performance is more important than the result. Defeatist i know but thats how i feel.

 

[Ox in the Box]

Will be our first league game up against a team who will want to be on the ball just as much as us. May play into our hands, however the individual talent in their squad could be too much. I think we may get a 1-1 draw.

 

[Sarge]

Id absolutely love an away win tomorrow night, realistically I think we'll do well a bring a point home come full time, - that said, albeit it wasn't pretty to watch, a win on Saturday may have provided a bit of confidence after back to back defeats, sowho knows?. Its a funny old game someone used to say

 

[Mojofilter]

Scrappy 1-1 will do me

Derby are a strong and very deep side - they were able to bring Kane Wilson & Callum Elder off the bench on the weekend. How we would love to have those two!

Buuuuut, they've had a very mixed start to the year like us. Reckon it'll be a tight one.

Can McEachran play?
Hope so because I thought, after the first 20 minutes or so, that our midfield was really good at the weekend. Consistently worked the ball into dangerous positions (only for our forwards to fail to do anything with it until Harris' late intervention).

I'd like to see Goodrham start in place of Browne as well. May not be able to leave his man in the dust as often as Browne does, but massively more end product.

Easiest game of the season for me. Bus into town and walk to Pride Park.

Derby will have got some confidence from their win at the weekend but the home fans are likely to be expectant though talking to their fans/reading forums suggests they do take us seriously as a potential contender in the league this season.

Need to stop their midfield getting a stranglehold of the game.

Agree that McEachran is pretty key.
Hopefully he can play 2 more games this week.

Can weirdly see this being the kind of game we do ok in this season. Press high against a side that will want to have possession of the ball at home, get Harris in behind their high line. That said, Derby are my pick for the league this year, on paper they look very good so do think this will be too much for us too early in the season. 2-0 away loss again imo.

Yup. 2-0 defeat, sadly.

 

[Eaststanding]

Local journalist says that Derby should have no problem against Oxford and it could be another big win for them.
Team talk done eh?

 

[Symp59]

If we score it will be a bonus ,sadly 3-0 loss another tough day at the office.ì

I'll be very pleased indeed if we can deny Derby, and then Barnsley, three points.
