Match Day Thread Close Encounters Part 1 Ewe's v Chairboys 8th Oct 22

The Chairboys take the short journey to Oxon to take on the Ewe's at the 3 sided stadium with both sides desperate for a win both on 11points just above the drop zone and we have to go back nearly 4 weeks since our last win.
Gaz will hope to have some players back from injury for this game as we have been down to our bare bones for weeks now and we need our best players back.
Although this is closer than AP for me I won't be attending as I am away and won't be back in time also there is a train strike plus tickets are £26 which is about one day's energy usage these days

 

It is key that we have Taff, Scowen, GMac and Mehmeti in the line up

 

Sadly i read that Scowen may be out for at least 6 weeks.

Maybe a 5-1-3-1 formation. If we get an early goal I think we might win. If however we go behind then I can’t seeing making a come back

 

Oh dear. That doesn't look great. No Taff, no Scowen and JJ at LB = holes in defence = 2-0 to Oxford

If only the owners had declared that this was a team building year with a simple ambition to do as well as we can, avoid relegation and hope to be challenging for promotion next year. Instead, they gave a strong impression that promotion was expected this season. Not happening

 

Max saves the penalty that he gave away.

 

Could easily have been 1-1 after 4 mins

 

There is a medical incidernt in the home stand and the players have been taken off,let's hope it's nothing too serious.

 

The game will resuyme at 3-50 PM.

 

Been put back to 4PM,no word on the fan who was being treated in the home stand.

 

Greeny will be impressed with the time this game will finish

 

Another injury as Gape is replaced by Freeman.

 

Oh no, that’s not good.

 

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL Forino 1-0.

 

0-1 Forino

 

YEEEEEEEESSSS we finally win a game. F/T 1-0

 

Well done boys, points on the board.
