Excited about today and think we'll show what we're made of and come away with 3 points and a great performance, unfortunately I'll not be watching as I'm working until 8pm. Hope you all enjoy it though
Haway. Important that we are into these from the off. Oxford are incredibly unpredictable but have the talent so can not let them get into a groove. Pressure from the start and smash them to bits. Haway the lads.
Hoping the plan is to go all out for an early kill. Then undecided as to wether to keep tempo up for the benefit of goal difference, or ease off to conserve energy for the following game. (copied and pasted from my pre Bristol Rovers post)
4-1, early goal and we will smash them, someone is going to get a good hiding soon and think it could be Oxford.
Starting to get a little nervous but excited for today which is huge but aren't they all. I was listening to the excellent Roker Rapport Tweedcast from yesterday which was a really good interview with Nick Barnes. He was talking about how much the whole mood around the club has changed and obviously the style of football as well. The interviewer said that we are playing more forward passes now than under PP and NB said that he hasn't had it confirmed but understands that the players are rewarded in their pay packets for how many times they pass the ball forward - I bet the whole structure of how players are incentivised is quite different to many clubs now.
