Exactly, and we stayed up… just. They’ve only got to take one look at Rotherham last year, once the league starts getting on top of you.

Freak seasons like Ipswich aside, the first season up is invariably always a hard fought battle to stay in the division. If Oxford play as described today, then with our current weaknesses it’s a good plan.Exactly, and we stayed up… just.
Optimism shouldn’t be confused with assumption.Had to have a nose on their forum, and it seems like their win against Norwich has lulled them into a false sense of security. Although, it shows their mentality that they’re still hyped to have beaten a L1 team mid week. They think their team is a lot better than it is. The Championship is one of the hardest leagues and is relentless. I’d imagine if we give it another 6-8 weeks when teams settle and they start getting relentlessly eaten alive every 3 days their opinion of the league might change.
Tbf what you describe in regards to Peterborough was actually how I felt in the cup game against you last season. I remember you beating us, and finishing above us, many times while we were in the lower leagues. It was a reminder of quickly we’ve risen.Optimism shouldn’t be confused with assumption.
We know we are favourites to get relegated and just happy to be back. We would bite your hand off for 21st place right now
Saturday was a pleasant surprise but we know we caught Norwich at the right time.
beating Peterborough is enjoyable as they’re an excellent league one outfit who we’ve been battling with for a few seasons and to see our reserves dominate them was an unusual experience
Decent side , might've played DaSilva against theseProbably pointless now after that shit Twitter page

Huh?Wonder how long it’s going to take him to cotton on to this system not suiting the players available-took until PNE away last time.
Hmmm, just based on what we seem to be trying in games compared to what we saw in the second half of last season. Looks pretty similar so far.Huh?
We've won one and lost one
Unless you've seen the performance data from the training ground
Plucky little Dasilva against plucky little Oxford?Decent side , might've played DaSilva against these
Thought he played well TuesdayPlucky little Dasilva against plucky little Oxford?
He did TBF. I do feel he offers more attacking link-up play than Bidwell does (though the av. position and assists stats probably contradict that).Thought he played well Tuesday
I grew up quite happily on Park St just off the Foleshill Road and around the corner from the General Wolfe. Great times and community.Tbf the streets surrounding Foleshill road are even worse
I haven't put the team on here though, I haven't done that for months

Hi there folks. Oxford fan here.
Our toughest test tomorrow and certainly memories of how you utterly dismantled us last season, and you compounding a very bad run that we were already on. You looked excellent that day and showed us the standard to aspire to. Needless to say we are all very surprised 8 months later to be playing you in the same league. But after 25 years absence, plunging down to the conference, we are pretty happy just to be back and making up the numbers. You are clearly favourites tomorrow and many of you have perhaps rightly predicted a home victory.
There’s a little bit of harshness on this forum though about our away support for tomorrow. The permanent non student population of Oxford is 120,000. By contrast Coventry-Bedworth is three times that at 450,000. The average home support that you get is about three times more than us.
Our home support is 9000 so to bring nearly 1600 (20% of our home support) to you isn’t terrible on a Friday night sky tv game. it would be the equivalent of you taking about 5,000 to an away game.
A little additional context …in September 2018 you came to our place for a sky game and brought 774 fans (3% of current home support).
1 shot on target each.2-2. That’s two goals to Coventry and two goals to Oxford, both 2 goals.
Thomas has been poor in both games tbf.Lati I really do see as a weak link whatever team is played. Given an opportunity tonight, prove me wrong.
Sorry I'm not getting it2-2. That’s two goals to Coventry and two goals to Oxford, both 2 goals.
Sorry I'm not getting it
