What's the chance that Bugbrooke could do us a favour against Oadby? Maybe..... 8-)

with bugrookes current form it should be a regulation victory for oadby I would expect

Depends if Oadby are feeling the strain of so many games in quick succession. I will be surprised if they don't drop points in their remaining matches.

I think Oadby will come unstuck at some point next week when they play away on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.

They have a hours trip there and the same back for both Monday and Wednesday, that will inevitably mean problems getting off work two days out of three for some.

Monday night finish at 9.30, home by 11.00 at the earliest, a full day at work on Tuesday and then a full day before travelling on Wednesday.

That's going to be tough physically and mentally, can they get in football mode straight away?

I don't think Bugbrooke are a difficult team to beat, and now they have realised they have nothing to play for, the team has pretty much given up the season. Oadby should manage to beat them tonight and as mentioned on here, they will find it tougher next week with games in quick succession.
However, you never know.

I's agree with Footyman regards Bugbrooke, they have slipped alarmingly since we played them at the D&D.

However, if they get a result then that's puts extra pressure on for when Oadby go to a difficult to beat at home Harrowby and a BPW on the up.

I also thought the interview with the Oadby chairman was a bit too m uch of 'the lady do protesth too much'

They are going to feel it in their heads as much as their legs.

It's worth noting that the referee for the game is scheduled to be Carl Henry, who refereed our game against Bugbrooke a few weeks ago. Those that were there will remember that the first half lasted for close on 3 weeks, so hopefully he will have the same timepiece with him tonight and there will be some very tired legs. :lol:

Oadby will drop further points as already has been mentioned, whether that will be tonight is another matter. Don't write off Bugbrooke as they scored 6 against Rothwell last Saturday which is more than Oadby or us have managed against the Corithinans

I'll be keeping abreast of the Oadby score via twitter but definitely more in hope than expectation.

It will be interesting to see how many are at tonight's game at Oadby as Leicester City are at home tonight.
