[Archived] Oxford Away Fa Cup 4Th Round

[RevidgeBlue]

I expect an absolute tonking now, morale will be on the floor in the wake of Rhodes' ill timed departure.

[davulsukur]

------------Steele

---Henley--Ward--Hanley--Spurr

Marshall--Lenihan--Evans--Conway

----------Watt---Jackson

[AggyBlue]

Early start again. See y'all down there as life without Rhodes begins.

[Mike Graham]

6 degrees and sunny in Oxford this afternoon.

Heavy rain, high winds and depressing in Blackburn this morning.

[philipl]

No Rhodes seriously increases the chances of this tie going horribly wrong for us.

Need a blinder from at least one of the debutants.

[Bundesburn]

Where's everyone going to be drinking beforehand?

[OJRovers]

I really don't know why lambert hasn't brought in any midfielders, the quality to choose from is poor. We really struggled on the bobbly pitch at Newport and I think it will be same today. Surely someone needs to take the chance to stake a place in the team and put a good performance in.

[Leonard Venkhater]

Very poor form from the club despite him being terrible in his 60 odd days with us:

A million miles from Bill Fox and Don Mackay's joint press conference!

No surprise, though. We all knew that a family club had been hijacked. I was soooo embarrassed for Rovers...and not for the first time, since 2010......

Shebby Singh as global adviser was too awful to watch....like Gary Glitter becoming Pope!

[BlueMonday]

Well, the team sheet will be interesting. Hope we see an improved performance and our name in the cap for the next round.

A tricky tie all the same.

Safe and fruitful trip to all the hardy Rovers making the journey.

[riverside returns]

not the first time in our history a goal scorer has been sold neither the last. Perhaps PL has a better idea of building a team without him

[Bundesburn]

Guys, I've set off.. Where is good to drink?!

[A cup of beans]

Until a couple of hours ago I found the bookies' odds for tomorrow's game slightly out of kilter and couldn't understand - despite our poor form and Oxford's decent run - why they were making a fourth division team such strong favourites to beat a second division team. They obviously had a whiff of the Rhodes situation!

Strangely our odds have shortened slightly (3.10 on bet365, when I got 3.40. Last night).

Do we know If Watt is eligible?

Oh,and I've got a feeling Garner 's last Rovers goal was at Oxford.

[Stuart]

ABBEY mode ON:

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST SCORE THIS AFTERNOON

[Mike Graham]

MAYBE WE NEED TO SCORE 2 OR MORE.

CAPS LOCK DAY

Indeed it was

[chor808]

Still plenty of free parking if you are on your way. Sunny and cold just right fit the cup.

[oldjamfan1]

Safe travels all you Rovers, and I hope you have as memorable a day as the last time we played at Oxford in the FA Cup COYB!!!

Jimmy Quinn!!

[Mercer]

Looks even more difficult now.

Think things will also get worse before they get better.

Patience and nerve needed - the darkest hour is just before the dawn !

[bazza]

Jimmy Quinn!!

Jimmy Quinn is one of only two Rovers players whose surname began with Q.

Without resorting to Google, who was the other?

[Claytons Left Boot]

Eddie Quigley!

Correct CLB. I thought it wouldn't take too long.

[chaddyrovers]

Steele, Marshall, Ward, Hanley ©, Spurr, Bennett, Lenihan, Evans, Conway, Jackson, Watt.

Subs: Raya (GK), Henley, Kilgallon, Lawrence, Taylor, Duffy.

[G Somerset Rover]

Have we only travelled with 6 subs again? I know Rhodes got pulled but can't have been tough to have learnt from experience and taken a youngster along.
