Oxford boss Karl Robinson believes Town are the best team in League One, playing incredible football.

The Blues visit the Kassam Stadium this afternoon looking for their first ever away league victory against the U’s having defeated the 3-0 at Portman Road on Boxing Day.

“We’re looking forward to it, they’ve got some good players,” Robinson told the Oxford Mail.

“Probably one of our biggest tonkings of the season was there, we got outran in a lot of areas.

“There was certain fundamental parts of the game where we fell short, we were under no illusions with how aggressive we were with each other after the game in the dressing room.

“From my point of view, we’re looking forward to the challenge — it’s always a good game when they come round to our place.

“They are, I think, the best team in the league — some of the football they play is quite incredible and they’re a very difficult team to prepare for.”

churchmans added 08:59 - Jan 21 I have read a lot of managers say that and also read a lot of managers say 'whoever finishes above ipswich will go up'

terryf added 09:05 - Jan 21 We do play some great football but it's points that win prizes and at the moment we are sharing too many of them. We must take more of the chances we create. At the moment we are not ruthless enough!

pennblue added 09:09 - Jan 21 Not buying into this any more. I am sure this is just mind games now. The table does not lie. If we are the best team in the league we need to start proving it by being more ruthless

Kickingblock added 10:38 - Jan 21 Psychology at work here? Destabilise the opposition by bigging them up? I hope that the men in blue just go about their business and do the business. 🤞

blueboy1981 added 11:29 - Jan 21 Third Best maybe ? - but even that will go some way to being proved in May. Make NO mistake - we should be one of the Best, if not the BEST !! NO excuse for anything less, at this level.

Marcus added 12:01 - Jan 21 We probably are. Just had a dip in form. Also new signings still need to show how they will improve things.

Ipswichbusiness added 12:33 - Jan 21 Best team in the League? The table says otherwise.

jas0999 added 12:34 - Jan 21 Nope. Plymouth are, then Sheffield Wednesday. In recent weeks they have won more games. Drawing and throwing away leads doesn't make you the best team.

SickParrot added 12:40 - Jan 21 At our best we are probably the best football in the league but this is against teams that also try to play attacking football and consequently leave spaces for us to attack them. Obviously we can't be at our best all the time but we always seem to struggle against teams that deny us time and space, and we also cannot defend high balls into our box. Unless these problems are solved we will never be the best team in the league. Over our last six games we are only the ninth best team.

Nobbysnuts added 12:46 - Jan 21 Judging by our league position I would say we are most definitely not.

bluesince76 added 13:28 - Jan 21 The table doesn't lie we are third best but maybe our new signings can make us the best.

johnwarksshorts added 13:58 - Jan 21 Kidology at its best. We won't be taken in by this, put it aside and go there with belief and just concentrate on what we do. COYB.
