[Archived] Oxford Away Fa Cup 4Th Round

[A cup of beans]

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

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

Should have more than enough to win with that team. Attitude and application permitting, though.

[Al]

Have we really only 6 subs? Very poor anticipation.

What an awful side that is. The only people terrified by that is us Rovers fans.

We badly need reinforcements. Bonkers to sell your best player in January.

Where's Akpan ?

Is there an echo in here ? Hanley's been our best player this season by a large margin.

Brilliant!

I thought the same. Shame Graham couldn't have played.

[Amo]

Jackson & Watt should give us enough pace up-front to stop them pinning us back in our own half.

[Lancaster Rover]

Akpan injured or not selected?

Rhodes has been in the worst form of his career and scored 11 goals.

Hanley is in the best form of his. How many clean sheets has that resulted in?

Whether you like him or not, Rhodes was Rovers' best player.

[Mercer]

Six subs is so unprofessional.

Even if Rhodes was still there, what would have happened if a player called away due to a family emergency or even fell ill overnight.

If you say so. I know who's got more chance of being a success in the Prem.

Wasting your breath pal.... You will need to grow up and stop being a buffoon 😹

And Rhodes would have made what difference ?

BTW - have you seen Ward and Watt play - I haven't, but it would appear you don't rate them

You can't get through the door at reception for envelopes full of Grant bids.

Probably can't afford the extra hotel room.

So Hanley was responsible for all the goals we concede ?

[bluebruce]

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.

Exactly my reaction. It's shocking really, that we line up with six subs. There have apparently been negotiations re: Rhodes for a few days, so we already knew this was a possibility. On top of which, we knew last night that he was NOT playing - plenty of time to tell one of the other lads they need to get down to Oxford the next day!

Apparently our third choice goalie, Eastwood, did travel, so we anticipated that much. And why isn't he on the bench? Might as well be if he's there and we've a spare slot!

[frosty]

Akpan has a sore knee according to Wheelock.

So that's our previous top scorer sold and our current joint top scorer injured

[bluebruce]

If you say so. I know who's got more chance of being a success in the Prem.

Hanley already showed himself to be crap in the Prem, and is stuck at a mid table Champs team, whereas Rhodes has attracted a ten million pound bid from a Premiership team, and is now being signed by a team that are very likely to go up. So, that'll be Rhodes then.

And Rhodes would have made what difference ?

Eh?

We wouldn't playing today if Rhodes goal hadn't made a difference

Eh?

If 'Boro do go up, and that is by no means nailed on my opinion. Let's see what he does in the Prem, if he gets selected that is.

Best team lambert could pick with what he has

Depressing.

Too right. Why on earth could someone not have travelled down this morning/last night?

Might be the best side available for selection but looks pretty dreadful to me.
