Away Match Day Thread 22/04/2023 L1: Barnsley v OUFC

[Carpy]

They've scored 13 goals so far in April, will snatch your hand off for a 0-0 draw.

Take a draw any day with Barnsley

 

[bicesterox]

One day we will get our second ever win at Oakwell, no reason it cannot be today, defend like we did at Peterborough and get another delivery like Tuesday on to Longs head, anything is possible.

Got to fight for every ball but not give silly free kicks away around our own box.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Southampton had no chance at Arsenal and almost took three points. We can spring a surprise here if we stay committed like on Tuesday and get a bit of overdue luck.

 

[Berliner]

23° here today, spring is finally here.
The last time we won was light snow showers and -1°
A win would be nice, draw about the best we can expect.
No injuries please, all hands on deck for the last three games.
COYY

 

[Yellow River]

Manning has got us organised and competitive, the issue is we don’t score enough goals and we’ve forgotten how to win.

A 1-1 draw is probably the best result we can realistically expect.

In truth though I can’t see us getting anything from this game, but you never know!

COYY.

 

[Cotswolds Cowboy]

Right!
I just had a small bet on us to win at 7/2
A triumph of hope over experience perhaps but our luck has to turn sometime

 

[Sarge]

1-3 away win UTM

Lucky for you in the wonderful city of Oxford the temperature is currently 1 it's foggy let's hope that's a good sign because last time we played and it was foggy we won

 

[TailsWeWin]

Fine and dry here oop north (currently!)

 

[Essexyellows]

1 nil away win.

Lady luck rides to the rescue as a speculative shot ricochets in off someone`s shin.

This will happen in the 3rd minute and the next 90+ will be torture as the Tykes lay siege to the OUFC goal.

 

[yellowbow]

Hopefully we’ll get a point or three today

Having said that, if things don’t go our way and the game gets away from us I think LM needs to be sensible and pragmatic and use as many subs as possible. Especially players who he won’t call on so much in the last three games. We’ve got three more winnable games coming up and we need to keep important players as fresh as possible for those.

But please please please, do the best you can today boys! You are good enough to get the points, go out and do the business!!

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Another performance like Tuesday would be welcomed. Just need to work the keeper more.

 

[Malc]

Important games today:

Barnsley v OUFC
Charlton v Morecambe
Cheltenham v FGR
Fleetwood v MK Dons
Plymouth v Cambridge
Portsmouth v Accrington
Port Vale v Bristol Rovers

Hope that Charlton, Plymouth, and Portsmouth win today. Also a win for Fleetwood would also be welcome.
And if we can steal at point a Barnsley that would make for a perfect day.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Last minute change to work means I shall now be making the 2 hour drive from North Wales to cheer the lads on! Hopefully we get a first win under Manning but I’d take a point to be honest.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

REF WATCH

Cleveland based Ross Joyce is today’s man in the middle for the clash with Barnsley at Oakwell.
Joyce is in his eighth season in the EFL and so far this season has taken charge of 26 matches and has issued 102 yellow cards and five reds.

His last U’s match was the 4-3 away win at Rochdale in January 2021. That same season Joyce refereed the U’s 4-1 win at Accrington.
Joyce’s last Tykes fixture was the 4-2 home victory over Sheffield Wednesday last month. He also was in charge when Barnsley defeated Cambridge 2–0
at Oakwell in February.

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Can't make the 300 mile round trip today but shall be cheering on the lads/ignoring my phone/jetwashing the patio/making jam/sorting tax returms.
Is there a game on today?
Any points will do.

 

[Eaststanding]

We might not get many, but take our chances when they do come and it could be a joyful trip back down the M1.

 

[Symp59]
