Usually do well against them. I dread this game as this will be the most difficult game of the season. Weakened team and nearly beaten at home by lowly Wombles on Tuesday, Can see a 0-3 defeat

Weakened team and nearly beaten at home by lowly Wombles on Tuesday, Can see a 0-3 defeat "Usually do well against them" From top of my head, we never do well against them, especially in recent times. They won their first awaygame in 18 months at our place 2 seasons ago 1-0. We drew 0-0 at theres. Last season we lost 2-1 against their 9 men!! and drew 0-0 at ours late on in the season. The season we got relegated we played them away in the league cup. We lost 1-0 when Matt Jarvis scored! And we lost to them our first season at the Kassam in the league cup. And also remember Manny Omoyimni ripping us apart and scoring a blinder against us for them at the Manor. We aint beat them for many games! I'm not hopeful at all today. They'll bring over 1,000 so they'll create an atmosphere and can seem them beating us 2-0 or 2-1 unfortunately. Edit: Just looking up our record against them, We aint beat them since Sept 24th 1986! In a 6-0 win in the league cup. Since then we've drawn 3 (2 away 1 home) and lost 6 (3 home 3 away!) Our record in all time against them at home is won 4 drawn 8 and lost 7!! Oh dear!

Not hopeful at all for this match or the next one to be absolutely honest. Damage limitation exercise seems the most likely scenario.

we are so far and away the underdogs for this fixture that I have a sneaky feeling we might get a 2-1 win out of this. Now THAT would go a long way towards erasing the memory of the last few weeks!

I'm worried too about what might happen today, but I have a small bit of positivity in that the confidence of winning on Tuesday, after going behind to a team scrapping for points, might just continue on into this game.

However our record against them is truely shocking, but on the brightside, I think that today may well be the first time I have ever seen them play against us (certainly at the Kassam), family and work commitments have always conspired against me in the past, so maybe I can bring a change of fortune.......

A sunny day, with the league leaders coming to town? Sounds like the perfect reason to go and watch the football today.
On our day, we can beat anyone. Come On You Yellows!!

records were broken with us and we all know who against, we just have to treat this as a cup tie against a higher division side, 6-4 favs with most bookies Gillingham, so pressure on them, draw not the end of the world 2-1 win to yellows Foster Caskey, Beano. our scorers.

Usually do well against them. Really? We haven't beaten them since 1986! I wasn't even born the last time we beat Gillingham. 7 wins against their 19 proves that they, and Exeter and Swindon (although less so recently ), are our ultimate bogey sides. www.rageonline.co.uk/mainpage.php?type=opponent&opponent_id=23I can't see a win for us today, I'm afraid. I'd be delighted with a draw.

I think a draw would be massive and 4 points from 2 games after our recent bad run against top of the table would be excellent, and the stats favour a draw. so 2-2 potter, Beano our goals.

How can a win today erase the 7 defeats out of 8? Heart says a 2-1 win head says it could be a long afternoon and a 3-0 defeat hope im wrong!

Why does everyone keep going on about historical records against them? It has absolutely no impact on today's game at all.

Half full again. 2-0 for the lads in yellow. Okay both breakaways but the defence withstands the storm. COYY

I think/hope we will draw today, which will be a half decent result given recent form!

clarke, batt, mullins, wright, obrien, chappers, heslop, JFC, potter, rigg, smalley
i agree with the team apart from heslop why cant either leven or worley go in there?!?!

Post by Hamworthy Yellow on Oct 6, 2012 13:14:53 GMT
Worley and Leven obviously not 100% fit - both on the bench

Post by Deleted on Oct 6, 2012 13:15:25 GMT
so they could both play a half then.

so they could both play a half then. Possibly, but why risk them in the first half against top of the league? Mullins, by all reports is an excellent signing & Heslop was hugely improved on Tuesday and made a big difference when he came on.

Still no start for Constable How about playing him midfield instead of Heslop, at least he'll be able to control the ball and maybe the restart of his career at Oxford which has really gone down the drain since the scummers tried to sign him
