Hope we can bounce back after 2 draws in a row with a win against Port Vale on Friday night and hopefully have a number of injured players back.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Mk dons away. Fancy us to nick this one actually.
Odd goal in five.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Need to bounce back after that pathetic display, and with some tough fixtures to come.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Robbed at Pride Park yet again incoming

 

[kieran_vale]

Suppose the break we’ve had this weekend with being out the cup should work quite well for us (depends if you count the pizza trophy as a legit game - I definitely do not). Be nice if we could get one over one of the top six rather than just being in close games. Plymouth should win you’d think especially with their home record but they’re surely going to lose one at some point so you never know.

 

[codaplenty]

Ipswich away, toughest game so far and I can't see us getting anything. We are coming into a run in of difficult games which could see us dragged into a dog fight at the bottom. Sooner or later one of the current bottom four will pick up and break out. Of course I know nothing about football.......

 

[valefan16]

Bit of a pressure free game for us this one as in a solid position and no one will expect us to get anything so may as well give it a good go.

It’s the kind of game we’ve tended to do well in since DC came in especially away from home ending FGR home run and Exeters at the end of last season and the result at Derby this so you never know. We do seem a bit of a bogey side for Argyle and have actually won our last three visits there.

See how it goes, no massive expectations but wouldn’t shock me if we did pull a result off with some DC tactical randomness. As long as we put in 100% and give it a real go then that’s the non negotiables and if we lose doing that fair enough.

 

[Laker]

Forest Green away for us. We’re in terrible form but so are they. We could really do with not losing as I don’t want to invite them on to us. But looking from their side, I reckon this is a must win game.

 

[Luke Imp]

Didn't realise Shrewsbury were in so bad a form at the minute, although looking at it they've had a November like we did October in terms of some of their opposition. They're very similar to us in terms of goals scored and conceded so I can't see it being a high scoring game.

Our 10 day break will hopefully have given us time to get two or three players back. Hopper returned a couple of weeks ago and Bishop, Mandroiu, Jackson and Garrick shouldn't be too far behind.

 

[Super_horns]

Typically after loads of games were moved England aren’t playing at 3 on Saturday now.

Wonder how crowds will be affected by the changes in kick offs times .

Won't really affect us at Derby.

Week after could be the issue, especially if longer away trips which may affect followings.

Sheffield Wednesday have already sold out their allocation on that day. We will still have a full house

 

[Boletus Edulis]

our end is sold out, I imagine Vale will bring half or fewer than they would have for a Saturday match. think they have sold 3-400.

316 i believe as off yesterday so anticipate 400 or so which is decent enough for a Friday night in December i guess.

Indeed, which supports the point I was making. Barrie said the day change would have no effect for them, but it will have a bit of an impact for us. It is difficult to get big away followings down here, so barriers like this make it harder. A big away following always adds positively to the atmosphere.

 

[PlymouthCasual]

Hoping we have a bit too much at our place for Vale tomorrow. Need to keep our home form at its best if we want to tey and get to January in the top 2.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Not today Vlad.

 

[GeneralLee]

With a win this weekend we could find ourselves in touching distance of the play-offs. Which would be a joke given how awful we are.

That being said, it's a pointless hypothetical as in typical KR/Oxford form we'll fail to win and perform atrociously.

Anyway, on to Accrington!

[Si Robin]

I'm not going to Charlton tonight, so it'll be an Ifollow jobby. I'm actually going to be part of a livestream watchalong on our pod.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Barton said the majority of our squad have been hit by a bug thats gone around, meaning even if some have recovered, they havent properly trained.
Not looking good for tonight, think it will be a hard watch for us on ifollow and god knows what the team line-up will be

That is what happened to the England cricket team, and looked at how it affected them yesterday! 506 runs in 75 overs.

 

[valefan16]

Elllis Harrison is still out. Served his ban and not involved in the Pizza Trophy but seems his niggle is more serious.

 

[Bobbin']

Well Garner has obviously had enough now and just trying to get himself sacked.

Wish I’d seen that line-up before leaving my house to go out in the freezing cold.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Strange line up from us, no Jevani Brown and 4 centre halves playing. No idea how we will line up

 

[kieran_vale]

Rather an open game early on. Plymouth with a couple of dangerous attacks. Can see they've done their homework on our weakness against long range shots by having a couple of pops already. We've come into it more though, Butterworth forced a great save from their keeper.

 

[valefan16]

Decent half that, 20 minutes or so we were camped in their half and their keeper made a couple of good saves.

Then Stevens slips and gifts them a tap in which they hit straight at him and since then it’s been more of a see-saw game. Wilson at one on one with the defender would usually be scoring there.

Could easily be 3-0 up but they’ve missed a couple of good opportunities just before half time so could of gone in trailing.

Could go any way this but more than matching them so far.

 

[kieran_vale]

Fun game even if it's still scoreless. I doubt it ends that way though. Plymouth look very impressive how they move the ball but we've given some back to them too and not just standing off them.

Think Danny Butterworth for us is having himself a really good game, carrying on where he left off against Charlton.
