Best put my record on the line again in a more difficult home fixture than last time.
I was p*ssed off with our performance in the away game. It was in our hands and we were cruising, until they put a big lump up front in Ollie Palmer and proceeded to batter us for the rest of the game. They earned that point whereas we did nothing to counter it. It was a poor day for MApp. That said, Ian Hendon has since been sacked from Orient and we face a different outfit headed by Kevin Nolan. Can we expect aerial bombardment again?
Tough fixture this and with the sideshow of the 10th anniversary of our relegation with Orient having something to do with it (and their last promotion being that day too) it does have a bit more spice than normal.
A win could be really big here. Ignore the York result at home last time out. It’s sides like Leyton Orient that we need to be beating at home in order to obtain the ‘P’ word.

Lets not underestimate Orient. They have some very good players for L2 and are probably punching below their weight. They should make the play offs really. Any kind of a win will do for me!

Hmmmm gonna go for an Orient win, 2-1. Hope not though, if they are as bad as they were in the reverse fixture they will be crushed.

Nolan has bags of experience and he can still score a few even now. Let's remember he was in west hams squad when they beat Arsenal away at the start of the season.

I'll go for 2-1 Yellows. Nolan is still a good player, but an inexperienced manager, he can't do it all.

Never confident at home this season, especially not against top 10 teams. I just hope we can turn our home form around fur the run in starting tomorrow. I'd love to stuff them to avenge 2006. Won't be easy though.

Think we will win this one, lads playing well under pressure this season and with the history and our league position I think this will help not hinder the boys. Gunna say 3-1 with goals from Bowery, hylton and sercombe.

For crying out loud - these games are getting harder to predict! For what its worth; Oxford Utd 2 (Skarz and Sercombe penalty) Orient 1 Att: 8989 and 1545 away fans. Its what happens off the pitch, what puzzles me. I can see Skarz getting sent off, the ref booking nine players and Sercombe and Roofe fighting each other, with Roofe ending up with a broken coccyx. An Orient fan will bring an oboe into the ground and play it during the game. An Oxford fan, fed up with away fans bringing dopey instruments into the ground, will bring his violin, and after the game will form a duet with the Orient fan. The now-defunct scoreboard will magically come back to life, after someone realises that the only reason it stopped working in the first place, was because some git had pulled the plug out accidently. The hot dog vans will be shut down, due to health and safety issues. Ticket number 134254 will win the 50/50 prize. A red-faced Mr Rhodes-Brown will refuse to collect it, as its his ticket. An Oxford fan called Mr. Leighton and an Orient fan called Miss Oxford will fall in love after the game. An Orient fan, having read my predictions for the last few weeks, will bring a Great Dane into the ground - and it will escape from his master and run onto the pitch. Oxford fans will sing: Cuddy! Cuddy! A great time will be had by all. An Orient fan will let off a massive firework. One of the Orient coaches will crash into the Bowlplex and the whole building will collapse. That just about does it for me.

Bang-bang chicken buffet in the Blackbird; briefly. Be bold: batter the brisbaneroaders.
I'll take a win, 3-1 would be super. We can do this. COYY!

It's match day ☺️ In on the bus today so can have a couple of beers and see Oxford get the first 3 of 15 points before our 'day out'. Personally think it will be a very tough game today but we really should have enough about us to win. No score predictions and no cuddyesque ones either from me, just a win, I don't care how we do it but a win!

I reckon 2-1. I watched the away fixture and we battered them first half until their two subs came on second half. We have a chance to spoil their season and make ours look really good. Another Lndon team to beat on Tuesday. Personally I think Tuesday will be tough too, as they will be absolutely fighting for their lives

Once again I'm going to miss the pleasures of listening to Yello ayer be cause of social commitments. Off to a concert (the Dutch Eagles, have a google if you like the Eagles).
But we will win 3-2 after a nervous last 10 minutes.
COYY
p.s. Just call me plastic.

Really bad feeling about today. The 4 away games since Nolan has been their manager they've won 2-0 at Wycombe, 1-0 at Pompey, 1-0 at Notts Co and 2-2 at Carlisle. So they're obviously doing something right away from home. They have some players who are way above league 2 level in their side too. Hopefully Skarz will be fit as McAnuff would skin Evans with ease imo. We finally have players on the bench who can come on and make a big difference to a game. A win would be massive. As I think Pompey and Bristol Rovers will both win comfortably today

2-1 win for us, McGuire free kick near the end to clinch it.
They are getting hyped up on here like every team does, but they are a bunch of over paid ponces, got relegated last year and then have followed it up by having to really battle to get a playoff spot despite having a huge wage bill. Attitude matters in sport and there players seem to have shit ones. Plus I wouldn't swap our players going up in their careers for theirs going down, remember Kitson? We are above them because we are better than them.
