Match Day Thread Oxford United FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 26th April 2025 - KO 15:00

No excuses today. Nearly our strongest starting 11 and the strongest bench we've had in months.

We shouldn't expect anything less than a convincing win if we're serious about getting promoted.

 

I think our mentality will tighten somewhat for this and QPR, I don’t want us going full guns and getting injured / bookings though

 

I don't have an issue with Watson as such, but there's not a chance he's starting in the playoffs which would result in Rigg being benched. It's simply not happening. We'll go in like this now with Cirkin, Mundle and Mayenda being the only ones who can get in that first XI.

 

People MOANING we’ve put out a decent 11 ahead of the POs in a nothing game..

RLB can’t win

 

Anyone know if it's on now TV?
Don't want to buy a pass if we're not on.

 

Why has Oxfords ground only got 3 stands?

 

Aleksic back to feeling comfortable warming that bench

 

he’s not good enough to be starting and we wanted a strong team

 

Fully aware of that, didn’t want him starting. Was just a point he’s back to what he’s used to. Looked sluggish in every start he’s had, a bit shell shocked

 

Bright start from Oxford

 

Think this will be tricky today. Oxford need a result more than us and will be up for it.

 

Have to watch with Oxford commentary as can’t get the SAFC feed on my stick

 

link anyone?

 

Same.

 

Lads haven’t started yet

 

Typical slow start?

 

Great save Patto.

 

Good save Patto. They've started well, they still need a result to be certain they're safe.

 

Great save Patto!

 

Patto lad. That’s a good save
