1-3 Peterborough to strong for us unfortunately

 

[Sarge]

2-1 home win .....late winner from Sam Long

 

[Berliner]

We'll win 1-0 (Joseph), KR's interview will focus on the bedsheet brigade. Nobody is happy, somehow.

Didn't Ainsworth make similar claims pre-match and then started many of his "injuries".

Seems other managers are taking note of Robinsons penchant for using the media as a tool to mislead the opposition....

1-1 all, Henry for us early but we concede late one to leave everything up in the air.

4-0 Oxford. It really came together for us last weekend (like last season’s Oxford). It vindicated Robinson’s summer transfers, and showed there is enough squad balance on our day. The players will be full of confidence. It’s all positive after a bleak few weeks (and some overreaction).

Whatever. That’s us going into every game.

Incorrect. The only "injured" player Wycombe started was Gape and he went off injured after 20 minutes. Looking at today, Peterborough are rubbish away from home. Oxford buoyed by the fine Exeter win will play with more confidence and will win by a couple of goals. 3-1 Oxford. The crowd needs to get behind the team

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Think we will concede as always but I think we might just have enough
2-1 win

 

[Yellow There!]

This is key. As we saw with Brannagan after Wycombe, too much pressure from fans, even on the manager, has a negative effect. Can’t go to this one but hope those who do, support and don’t distract the team!!

COYY

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

I'd take a point and a decent performance, come on Oxford!

 

[Symp59]

Yes it's a case of 9 /10 doubts but not today. I can't see us winning but football is a funny old game head says 0-2 heart says 2-1 .

 

[Daviddidcotexile]

We do need to win today. Seems to me that KR has been beefing up the opposition and looking at little old Oxford against a physical strong Peterborough. I hope I am wrong but struggling to stay on the positive bus

 

[Foley]

If we win 1 0 many oxford fans will be happy

 

[Sarge]

Easty's 250th appearance today .....at a guess there'll be long odds ( despite it being a milestone achievement) on keeping a cleansheet?
