Yes it's win or bust till the end of the season, if the players and management take on this mentality then you never know !!!!!

The result is, of course, very important, but even more important is the opportunity to heap constant abuse on the Fat Man in the dug out - there were some in SSL on Saturday were abusing Micky Adams modest antics as a warm up act for Tuesday night! I Suspect a draw and can just see Mullins sneaking a 89th minute equaliser 1-1.

I saw the Rotherham team bus on the Abingdon Road towards Oxford at 1.30pm today. It reminded me just how much I hate that fat cheat Steve Evans.
Got to win tomorrow night. I hope we create a special night match atmosphere.

'Ahead of the game, Steve Evans is looking to his options; "We'll make one or two changes, not because one or two played badly but because I've watched Oxford and I have to do what I think is right." he told the Advertiser.'
Well there's always a first time I suppose.

Really looking forward to this. Rotherham will try and play against us, not park the bus, same as Port Vale.
Confidence is up at the moment, fans are getting behind the players, I've got a good feeling about this one.
3-2 Smalley (2) and Raines

Riggy really has to put in a shift tonight - he's been a bit off form lately and I reckon tonight's gonna be his night.
He'll get a brace and we're gonna win 2-0, getting us closer to 7th and keeping the haters on the forum on their toes!

I don't do score predictions but I think it'll be a low crowd tonight. 5,200ish I reckon.

Post by concretebob on Mar 5, 2013 15:35:57 GMT
Thinking a low crowd of around 5,100 thanks to some Sunday League game in Manchester tonight.
1-1 draw. Smalley for us Mullins for them.

2-0 Oxford for me. We always play better in front of a vocal and supportive crowd. A combination of serial wind-up merchant fatty Evans in the opposition dug-out and playing under the lights which always adds to the occassion suggests to me that the faithful will create an electric atmosphere. COYY

Seems odd to change a winning formation that had a great game on sat. The only change for me that was needed was whing for chapman. It's like he's trying to find an extra place for duberry

Yes, but I bet that Evans is scratching his head, too! That wasn't what he was expecting.
I'm going to have to miss almost the entire first half of this game, so I hope that I miss some brilliant football and several goals from us. In that case I'll live quite happily listening to a boring 0-0 second half.

Interesting formation. Based on our opponents or playing to our current strengths?
Anyways, 2-1 to the mighty yellows. Potter and Smalley.

Fat cheat Evans would have prepared for us to go 4-4-2, and maybe Wilder has watched Rotherham, but the formation is a surprise

Post by KristapsGrebis on Mar 5, 2013 19:04:38 GMT
after getting the last two tactically spot on, I've got faith in Wilder for this one. Hopefully something's clicked and we've hit form at the right time. E i E i E i O...
