Really has to be six points, doesn't it? 15:30 - Nov 27 with 2490 viewsitfc_bucks

All due respect to Oxford and the fact they're a very hard-working and honest side, led by a very good manager, they're where they are in the league and are the sort of team that a promotion chasing side has to be putting away.

Then Blackburn - their sense of injustice must be pretty big. We need to make it worse.

Never take anything for granted in this league.

Oxford aren't whipping boys, even though their league position would suggest they are. They're underperforming against their stats which would put them in 15th (and us second behind Southampton - Coventry outperforming theirs massively sit in 3rd).

Over the course of a season I expect these teams to level out somewhat and end up closer to their statistical values and Oxford will undoubtedly pick up points at home to a fair few teams. It's a tough place to go.

Interestingly (perhaps), many people i've spoken to thought Wrexham were the worst team at PR this season and their stats put them rock bottom of the league, hadn't realised.

1 game at a time.

Get the win at Oxford and then think about Blackburn.

Expecting Philogene & Walle-Egeli to both start tonight and Akpom back in the 10. Just on the basis they didn’t on Tuesday. Taylor next to Azor in the middle. I think Ivan starts up front.

I wouldn't take 4 points if offered today, no sir, but there are few pushovers in this league. Oxford have lost 3 of their 8 home games so far (draws with Cov, Boro and Leicester). Blackburn will play Tuesday with a fury behind them.

Team might think you're a bit nuts pinning something from itfc_bucks on the wall! Lol


Especially as I don't think there's much that I said you could disagree with.

A club with realistic aspirations of automatic promotion ought to beat teams struggling at the wrong end of the table.

Surely?

are you ruling out coventry (drew with norwich, drew with oxford) from having realistic aspirations of auto promotion then? that's a relief to me!

we'll aim for 6 points and we may well get them, but we don't HAVE to get them, to be in for a shout at autos

81 always has a nice ring to it.
