yarddog73 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Should be putting these away today, I've watched them and they are notoriously slow starters, even when they beat Boreham Wood and Hartlepool they should have been well behind in both games, got to take our chances early on and be at it from the off because these will let us have the ball, could have some joy on set pieces today and their keeper looks weak as piss. Ex Oldham player Josh Parker is their danger man, will carry the ball forward and look for pockets between defence and midfield, loves a pop from distance as well so you'd probably favour Hudson over Norman, no reason at all why we can't cause these some problems today and I expect us to win if we can play on the front foot. Fancy us to score 3 or 4 today.

Nuttall and Norwood up top for me, other than that spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Looks to me like Oxford City are finding their feet now in this league and Latics are now looking to find their own with a new [albeit maybe temporary] manager's style of play. With Unsworth at the helm, I would have no confidence whatsoever of a win and Thompson at least gives us that fighting chance, with some entertaining football thrown in. He will probably stick with the winning line-up from midweek, Lundstrum hopefully is on the bench and gets some match time, Norwood comes on at some point to scare the shit out of them and Nuttall, Willoughby and Reid have a say in it too.

I think Lundstrum could start today for a couple of reasons, this Oxford team grow in to games so we need to be at them from minute one with our best eleven, there may not be opportunity to bring him on late on today, also our pitch now is a carpet and you would have no hesitation bringing a player back on that pitch, I know he'll only get 45 to 60 minutes but he's going to come in at some stage so why not start him?, it will create a buzz around the ground pre match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC Blues Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Going off ST's pre match, he said the players have been told to earn the shirt and that Lundstrum is ready but not as ready as he thinks. To me that says it will be the same lineup as Tuesday but with Reid instead of Willoughby. Lundstrum and Norwood on the bench to make early second half appearances.

Willoughby for Norwood would harsh but understandable. Willoughby for Reid would be harsh, unfair and daft AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He worked his bollocks off and made the effort that lead to the first goal but didn't score himself. I think Norwood for Willoughby would be more unfair than Reid.

Can Neil Redfearn Do It Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Norwood surely has to start and Willoughby is the obvious one to make way. I thought for all Willoughby's endeavour on Tuesday he was light on quality and our weakest link on the day. I'm sure he's got more in his locker and look forward to seeing him progress - but not with Norwood sat on the bench! Otherwise same team as Tuesday.
