Leaving fairly early for this one, depending on if Lincoln Yellow jnr can get out of bed for 9.00am......!
At 5.00pm last Saturday we were pleasantly optimistic for the coming season with not just a good performance at Oldham but also a cracking away win where most of our players were at least a 7 out of 10....... Fast forward to Tuesday night we saw a side of us that needs to be removed as soon as possible, complacency at half time with a healthy 3-1 lead turned into lack of ideas, lack of passion and in some cases lack of trying.
Playing Portsmouth either home or away is still a fixture you have half an eye on when the fixtures are released and this one will be no different, Pompey's travelling support goes without saying, they sell out wherever they go, however Saturday's game is all about us and what we can do at home under this new regime with at least half of a new squad.
Early season games are all about finding your feet and keeping in touch with the top 2 or the top 6 and after last weeks 3 points a win here would set us up nicely over the coming weeks, especially after the poor start we had at the beginning of last season...
Let's hope the yellows are in full voice for this one...
OXFORD UTD - 2 (Thomas, Nelson) Portsmouth - 2 Att - 9919 (1754 visitors)
The yellows coming back from 2-0 down......
COME ON YOU YELLOWS......

Looking forward to this as it will be a test of our ability to bounce back from a shambolic display on Tuesday. Pompey will provide stiff opposition and I think a 2-2 draw is the likely outcome.

Should be a cracking game that will be tight in my opinion, Decent atmosphere expected and expecting a good performance after Tuesday night. 2-1 Oxford after going 1-0 down early.
Ledson and Payne to score.

Can't see us scoring two. What and score 3 in the last 20 like last time for a 5-5 draw!! We signed Durnin based on that performance and Johnny Lager as he became known was a cult hero and formed a great partnership with Walsh!

No idea how it's going to go but it's the toughest game so far of the Pep era. Let's hope there's cause for optimism come 5pm tomorrow.

Their starting LB (Holmes-Dennis) is out for four months and I assume the backup is suspended given he got a straight red in their first game. So that's good.
1-1 - Thomas

So that's good. 1-1 - Thomas That would be Jamal Lowe who is a right winger and not a left back!? Certainly is not back up for Holmes Dennis. Either Brandan Haunstrap who is s left back youngster of some promise or Drew Talbot, a more seasoned pro will step in.

If Nelson and Marvin play, and their heads are right, 2-2.
Otherwise, we lose 1-3

Biggest game of the season for the Pompey yellows we even have a Pompey fan cadging a lift. Hope the SSU locals arn't to hard on him if he steps out of line.ghink it's going to be a very noisy nervous afternoon, but really hoping the mighty yellows can continue the winning start. A squeaky bum 1:0 win with Pompey giving our goal a battering for the equaliser. COYY

Now we've got this thread pinned, please can we get rid of the Cheltenhem one ASAP? Oh, and a Williamson header, 1-0.

If this was away, we'd win. But it's not, so we won't.
1-3 Portsmouth. I think they'll make playoffs.

3-1. Not sure I can predict the side let alone the scorers but think we will see a big reaction from Tuesday night.

I'll be glad when this game is over, if only to see the back of prozac. Now that will be the perfect antidepressant! f*cking tolls!

Oh, dear oh dear, oh dear! As Eve said when she first saw Adam naked: "Blimey! That's a hard one!" Oxford United 1 (Bird Beak) Portsmouth 1. Att:9899 with 1798 away fans. The Oxford fans will be unusually quiet tomorrow. Not because we're playing bad, but because no-one can pronounce our new players' names. Instead of singing, our lot will be humming, because it's easier to do. I suggest everyone brings an umbrella to the game, 'cos you need to produce a lot of phlegm, when trying to pronounce our new players' names. The sputum will be flying all over the place! Ledson will 'crack' a beauty. Not a great shot, but a massive fart, and will shit himself. The scoreboard will malfunction at some point. Xemi and Gino will get into a fight, cos Xemi can't pronounce Gino's surname correctly. Pep Clotet will accidentally leave the pup closet door open and a dog will run onto the pitch. There won't be any name-calling tomorrow, because no-one will be able to! That just about does it for me.
