We now have identical home and away records

Well, we do start the game with a point. (Clothead wisdom)Anyone confident of any sort of result away at Bradford, based on recent performances?
I'm just counting today's point as another in the limp to the 50 that we need.
I un CLOT my nose at an away point snatched from the jaws of victory , late on, ....especially against a side the U's have already beaten twice this seasonDepressing thread. You should never sniff at an away point.
I can’t remember the poster who said it but if we don’t get relegated this season, we’d be candidates for it next season.
Pep has obliterated what MApp built here in a matter of months. Get used to these sort of disappointing results - I think we’ll have a lot more of them this season.
well quite so!!Leeds, Middlesbrough, Bury and Luton ?
I am, as I'm sure are the vast majority of supporters, becoming increasingly disillusioned with this Oxford United team, not least because the incredible feel-good factor that surrounded the club for the last couple of years has almost entirely evaporated. But I am also very sceptical of modern football's short patience with managers and fans' violently knee-jerk reactions to bad results. Looking at the big picture, I have some sympathy for Pep. If you look at the team that started at Oldham on the opening day, Johnson was sold on deadline day, with no real time to get in a replacement, Ribeiro has retired, and Nelson and Hall are both out for months. Our current bad run of form has kind of coincided with losing the last two, which isn't really surprising - any team will struggle if you take out its best attacking outlet and its best defender (and footballer, to be honest). There's a lot to criticise Pep about - tactical inflexibility, the situation with Ledson and frustratingly copy-paste post match interviews - but he has been dealt a pretty bad hand in many ways, and we are still in a reasonably promising position in the league. I'm willing to retain the faith, at least until after this transfer window.
Also, can we stop with the 'fockooss' jokes. They're just the next iteration of the 'hotdog and pint' comments on literally any thread about Eales from the summer, which were very boring, and a pretty lazy way of mocking the fact that English is not our manager's first language.
