Happy Birthday Kip…

 

[Coffin dodger]

No way is Kip younger than me! No way!
Happy birthday in any case!

I had him down as at least 65

Hope your birthday is full of fun joy and positivity @greatunclekip

That team looks horrible! Where are the goals coming from? (cue 3-0 win)

The goals will be coming from the same players that they have all season.

We’re still struggling for fully fit numbers but hoping we can get a result anyway.

Bristol Rovers 0 - Oxford United 1.

No win today and we’ll drop out of the playoffs.

McEachran ahead McGuane & Smyth.

Rodrigues not central. Wasted out wide.

No Burey. Would’ve preferred him in a game like this (battle) than Goodrham.

Think we’ll lose this one today.

Gas 3-1 Ox

I'll be keeping checking for updates whilst enjoying 40th Birthday beers in Sheffield. Feeling every second that old. Come on lads, do this for me!

I honestly would have put you down as mid-sixties. Happy birthday by the way, try and enjoy yourself - 40 ain’t that old!

Smyth can definitely count himself unlucky. McGuane needs a rest so can understand him on the bench but would have liked to see Smyth instead of JM. In saying that can see why they have gone for experience.

McGuane needs a rest.

McGuane has been struggling of late - makes sense to give him a breather; would also probably have gone with Smyth but now McEachran gets a chance to show what he's about.

Was not expecting Negru to come straight back into the side, but I guess our lack of wingers is stopping us reverting to four at the back, and Long's concussion opened up a spot. Fingers crossed he'll be right back to playing at the level he started the season.

 

[brassmonkey]

McGuane needs a rest.

Hes been dropped based on his past 2 months performances and rightfully so

"There is a popular adage that suggests, “Life begins at 40”. This seemingly mysterious statement appears to contradict the natural progression of age, but as we delve into it, we find it brimming with profound wisdom. In essence, it encapsulates a belief that people often experience a new zest for life, a renaissance of freedom, confidence, and enjoyment as they enter their fourth decade."

Why They Say 'Life Begins at 40'

By the time we reach our 40s, these experiences have taught us resilience and granted us a richer perspective.

Sorry to be a pedant, but it's the fifth decade (1st is 0-9)

 

[Yellowecky]

Happy birthday Kip.

 

[oufc1991]

Happy birthday @greatunclekip I would have never of guessed you were only 40

That team doesn't fill me with confidence unfortunately

Old age: why 60 is the new 40

Today’s seniors say they feel younger than ever – thanks to their hobbies of puzzle-solving, videogames and, er, kitesurfing

[Jster]

We still have the following injured:
- Long
- Bennett
- Edwards
- Browne
- Bodin
- Murphy
- Goodwin

Really need to get through today without adding to the list...

Happy birthday @greatunclekip !

Will be watching Conteh for Rovers closely today, thought he was just what we needed.

Record signing and straight into the starting 11, of our signings, 1 starts in goal, 1 is on the bench and 2 are injured. Frustrating.
