Roller Blades

Post by Mooro »

One point each (unless otherwise stated):

1) With 7 subs available in the FA cup…will Wilder have a specialist keeper on the bench? (1pt) – Bonus point if say yes AND name them correctly.
2) Will any of the 7 Oxford subs named not have appeared for the first team already this season?
3) The leading goalscorer chart for Sheff Utd currently has Matt Phillips on 6 and three players (Ched Evans, Richard Cresswell &amp Chris Porter) on 5…. name one player from those four who will be top or joint top by the end of Saturday…..if you name Phillips you get 1pt if he remains the sole leader, else 0 pts. If you name any of the other three you get 2pts if they are joint leaders and 3pts if they are sole leader,
4) Which will be the first team to score – Ox Utd, Ox City, Sheffield Utd or Redbridge? (If two have same time, then both get the point)
5) How many former United first team players will feature for City (excl non-playing subs)?
6) Which Oxford side will get the better result (determined by goal difference, then goals scored – ie 2-0 beats 3-2, but 3-2 beats 2-1) – City / United / identical result

TB – difference between the attendances at the two Oxford games…

Ok, so the challenge was made slightly easier with a report on the club site plastering Max Crocombe's name all over the place, posted up just after I'd set the boot and then complicated further by Mr Phillips returning to Blackpool, btu even so.........

Answers:
1 Yes (Crocombe)
2 Yes (Crocombe &amp Marsh)
3 Evans scored twice to go into sole lead so 3pts
4 Sheff Utd only ones to score
5 Four former U's (BAsham, Steele, JAmes Clarke, Declan Benjamin)
6 Better result = City
TB 7526

Winner = a full house for Parklife with 8
7's for Hog and myself (jsut thought I'd name check the FA youth cup keeper instead of our Max)
Special mention to Joe who was one of the many on 5, despite only answering some of the questions....

BTW - the question I meant to have in there but forgot was my obligatory youth team question which would have been the number of former Utd youth teamers who featured for City, which would have been 3 (Clarke, Benjamin &amp young Marvin Martin)
