Perhaps it's my cautious nature, but I'm quite worried about this game. Lincoln are still a form side, and will want to get back to winning ways after their first defeat in ages. Meanwhile there seems to be an expectation that we simply have to turn up and we'll score loads of goals. Football is...

Knee-jerk hypocrisy is fine, but to barrack one's own player like that during a match is something I'd hope is just true of a small minority. I wouldn't have dreamt of doing it (even to the likes of Jamie Hanson!)

It still took me to 4-0 to think we were safe!

I hope these people are all penning him a letter of apology as we speak. I'd rather our crowds were slightly lower than such people attended games.

Josh Murphy, Josh Murphy All that pace is something to be scared of (to the tune of Prince Charming)

Worth putting in a word for James Henry. Forced off injured today, and could possibly be his last appearance in an Oxford shirt. Legend.

Imagine how good he could be if he hadn't downed tools!

Blimey, the bookies seem convinced we're making the top 6 now! https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-1/english-league-one/top-6-finish I'm tempted to put a fiver on each of Lincoln and Blackpool, just to hedge! :)

Hmm, is there a lesson in there for us then?

We can beat em as long as it's foggy. (I think in truth we were the last side to beat them last season.)

Add St Etienne and The Auteurs.

I think sometimes players are put in a boot just as a precautionary measure.

The total required for top 6 isn't something we have complete control over anyway. We could end on 79 points and still lose out if the 3 dropped points were against Lincoln.

Interesting point about Harris is that he doesn't take pens. A lot of these 20 goal a season striker types do. (Matty of course didn't either.)

This. One of my very favourite Oxford players since our return to the league. Hated seeing him get slagged off by some on here, as though he were a disposable wipe who'd served his purpose and could now be chucked. Great to see him have a last hurrah of sorts.

Yeah I think perhaps we spend too much time these days worrying how much of our budget a player is using up. I don't remember it even coming up back in the day. He's great to watch, therefore I'll be pleased if I get to watch him play for us next season. I'll let the club worry about whether...

Not so much getting ahead of ourselves as hoping Barnsley can get dragged into it in case we say lose to Lincoln.

Negru surely. Need a right footed player.

What are we hoping for from the Stevenage Barnsley game in midweek then?
