Think Jake Wright left back, Evans in front is a good shout. Think we need Wright in the team and think Evans could do well given a bit of license.

It looks like we could end up in the playoffs and hopefully Appleton has one eye on that scenario and he will rest some key players over the next 4 games so we will be as fresh as possible.

Off to bed shortly. Hate midweek games - 2.45 am kick-off is impossible. I just wish that OUFC give me a non-despairing breakfast 6-1 win would do it.

Off shortly to pick up the others. Have to say, even though we are a few players down, I feel very confident about tonight. Had the same feeling going down to Crawley. If we can't beat bloody Newport who have such a dreadful home record, then we have not come that far..have we?

Aha! Squeaky bum time! If we win the next two games, the worst that can happen, will be that we are in the play-offs. If we lose or draw the next two, we'll be in the play-offs. Confused? Well, at least my prediction for Newport should help clear things up. I reckon: Newport won't and Oxford will. 2-1 to us, with us getting two own goals. The att: 4034 with 1090 Yellows fans and 34 sheep. But its not just the on-pitch action that has got my attention. Here's my take on things: Skarz, fresh from his penis operation, will be in the dressing room for moral support, before the game. MacDonald will accuse him of crashing his drone into his brand new car and will aim a punch into Skarz's groin. Dunkley will go to head butt him, but miss and accidently nut Roofe in the clavicle. Roofe will still play, but look like the hunchback of Notre Dame - with a lisp. At this point, things will start to get weird. The referee, Mr. A. Hitler (no relation) will announce his resignation just before kick-off and be replaced by Mr. Frank N. Stein (again, no relation). He will book eleven players - all from Oxford. After 34 minutes, a sheep will run onto the pitch. Ten minutes later, Roofe will go to take a free kick, but be upset when he realises that we haven't actually got one. We will have 14 corners - all in the first 5 minutes. A Newport fan will bring in a Welsh choir, but they will forget to bring the song sheets, so they'll have to hum their songs throughout the game. A skein (ok, Mr Cannell?) of geese will fly over the pitch after 48 minutes. One of them will drop down dead and land on Dunkley, breaking his coccyx. He will go to head butt the poor bird - miss, and accidently head the ball into his own net. Poor Chey will be carted off to the local nut-house. Just as they leave the stadium, the sheep (still lurking at the back of the stadium), will run in front of the ambulance and force the driver to change his religion. Back on the pitch, things will go from bad to the ridiculous for the Yellows. Slocombe, freshly installed as our trusted goalie, will have to be replaced, after suffering from an unfortunate bout of Diarrhea. Oxford fans will be accused of letting off a smoke bomb, until they realise it was methane from Slocombe's rear end. As he comes out to replace him, Buchel will trip over his boot laces and run off, crying uncontrollably. Roofe, complete with knackered clavicle, will take over in goal. Oxford will get a very dubious penalty, which Sercombe will blast into Newport Town centre. The ref will go on to admit he only gave us the penalty, because he wanted a laugh. One of the floodlights and the scoreboard will explode. That just about does it for me. I do enjoy 'Cuddy's ramblings' greatly.

They also stopped our unbeaten run last year. Their pitch is like a farmyard Anybody who gets a result thei does very well - even a draw which I think is most likely.

We should win comfortably. Can't believe that will be our fourteenth away win in the league if we do it. So so need this one

Couldn't waste the ticket so travelled in the end. Spoons full of Oxford. Hoping that beer and food will resolve the stomach bug!
On a side note I'm always suprised that pubs don't put more bar staff on when Oxford are in town. You'd think by now they would know we are a drinking club with a footballing problem!!
