Great write-up as usual Alias. That's the Oxford line-up I would have expected as well, but on their forum, most of them are going with a striker called Taylor instead of Mackie. I don't know who he is, I'll check on their website.

It's Matty Taylor, on loan from Bristol City.

Thank you Steve, appreciate the kind words.

Indeed, Taylor and Mackie have been trading the #9 position in recent weeks so I went with Mackie as he started last week and has more appearances, but Taylor could indeed play. As far as I'm aware Mackie is fit to play - Woodburn is out as are midfielders Anthony Forde and Jamie Hanson.

Good write up RA.

If you're right about the starting line up, the outfield numbers would be:

2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Nearest we've got to a No9
10
Coppinger.

I bet we haven't got that close to 2-11 for a while.

Almost back to the "olden" days 1-11

Too young to remember the 1-22 days (away GK had 22 on I think)
