I’m just hoping against hope if we have to lose to them it’s in the cup not in the league. Would be gutting the other way round.

Let’s just beat them twice is it????

Very enjoyable night out up the A34..

More of the same please.

Much better than the Portsmouth shit show we saw this time last year

Well ideally yes.

That’s why I said if we HAVE to lose one I hope it’s the cup.

Good win on the road against a team battling for every point At least this team proved they have the minerals to dig deep when needed.

in Matos we trust.

Just got in from the game. We were the better side and deserved to win. Good away performance and with a couple of quality additions and a bit more confidence we’ll be a match for most in the division.
Tricky place to go, Oxford have beaten Ipswich and Southampton and drawn with Cov, Leicester and Boro and Millwall on their own patch this season.
Matos has done one hell of a job thus far, turned a complete shitshow into a cohesive team.

The ref was a rare commodity- fair and competent- wish we could roll him out every week!

Matos has the happy knack of winning tight games. I know it is captain obvious - but an unbeaten run with lots of draws gets you nowhere - but bagging 3 points really gets you upwardly mobile - even with the odd defeat.
This league is that tight!

You’re mistaking me for someone who’s ever said that.

I am aware of that Lisa but others have and your comment fed me the lines to deliver ...

Now in 6th place in the form table with 9 from 5. If we kept this up til the end of the season we’d be on 69 points. Which was play-off standard last season.

To be clear, I am not saying that we are play-off quality (not now, at any rate). But the turn-around under Matos has been impressive and I don’t think it’s as fragile as some new manager bounce-backs we’ve seen.

Apologies, I should have double checked my figures before posting that we are 6th in the form table. I'm afraid that wasn't correct. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

We are actually fourth.

Actually our points per game over the past six matches is 2. If we kept that up we'd end the season on 73.

Norwich are fifth in the form table for their last five games. I wouldn't count them out yet (as nailed on for relegation, I mean).
