Oxford away next week for us. They reached the quarter finals last season. Lol imagine if we played all our want away stars who most likely won’t play in the league matches!
Good idea. Roll up and cast your eye for our early season/end of line Oxford sale. Prices reduced on all marked sale items. Buy one get one half price specials. Roll up ...
If we were to win this tie, we’d then be away to Cambridge or Newport in the next round. We could be on a Varsity tour here!
Quality away day such a shame there’s no fans allowed. I wouldn’t mind it if we were in the premier league and there were no fans allowed because the away days are awful.
Morse then Grantchester! The Camera,Sheldonian,The Eagle and Child and that's just the Oxford midfield!
Seems more than likely we’ll be using anyone who doesn’t play in the league game before or likely to start in the league game after. So a second string each round. Still hopeful we make it through these two rounds as each game gives more match fitness to players we may end up using. If we happen to get through say 3 rounds could then take it more seriously and see if we could do something miraculous and win our first major trophy!
Typical we got some decent ties when we aren't allowed to visit. Knowing our luck we'll be allowed back when we draw city away, oh well.
Good tie. Interesting which side will turn up. Should be capable of getting through but a bit like Woking in the FA Cup two years ago, it's never a given. Oxford will certainly be happy to entertain an ex-prem side and see us as quite the scalp even if it's our second string.
Our second team will be made up of 17 year old academy players. Our first team is mostly our second string team from last year!
Is it? Just had a look on Google maps as I can be at Oxford station 45 minutes from my from my front door. The stadium looks like it is by a roundabout on the outskirts of Cowley by the sewage works, with no pubs, and no transport? Is everyone remembering the 90s?
Haha excellent idea. A game we are content to lose so lets make these work shy babies play and watch their petulant body language.
Haha we could become the first club to pick a stronger starting eleven in this competition than in the league lol
