weve struggled against lower teams all season, even when we were 'good'
im expecting 2 points only , rochdale were unlucky not beat us earlier this season, blackpool came back and stung us too, ans shrewsbury fighting for their lives
weve won 3 in 16, and are bottom 4 in the form guide, hold onto your hats boys, this team has shot its bolt, we may not finish in the top half after witnessing the last 2 games
i think its rude of us to suggest we may even beat one of these scrappers, especially as our main problem has been nil fight all season
Thing is, Oxford are 2nd. Don't wish to piss on your chips, but......A mate at work is an Oxford fan. 2 weeks ago they were 4th with the teams below having games in hand that would have put at least two of them above Oxford should they win them. He was panicking as we are now.
2 weeks later Oxford have had 3 wins on the bounce, moved up to 2nd while the teams below have all dropped points and can no longer go above by winning their games in hand.
There is still a long way to go, and we do have the ability.
I'm trying to keep the faith!
Do you know what the score was? Got a feeling I went to that game.We've NEVER beaten Rochdale in the league.
We've only ever beaten Rochdale once in our history, in the Rumbelows league cup 1991
so, with that in mind:
City 3-1 Rochdale.
On current form we are one of the worst teams in the league.Thing is, Oxford are 2nd. Don't wish to piss on your chips, but......
Form table for the last 6 matches, they are 3rd.
Form table for the last 10 matches, they are 3rd.
City are 6th.
Form table for the last 6 matches, we are 21st.
From table for the last 10 matches, we are 20th.
So much easier to win 3 on the bounce when your form over the last 10 games has been really good.

Well as long as they are cup finals and not Charity Shields we'll be fine.As has been said, one game at a time...they are all cup finals.
PUSB
Have you just been let out for the day or have you got the whole weekend offI think we will win the next 3.

Well yep, I'm trying to as well. Getting increasingly difficult though.I'll have to take your word on that one, I'm just pointing out that things 'can' change...and sometimes quickly.
Like I said....'Trying to keep the faith'

First two, yep, fine. Third point? Anyone can beat anyone in this league, so that is an irrelevance unfortunately.Fortunes turn around all the time especially in football matches. It's just a matter of belief based on what you know.
I know we probably have the best manager in this league. I know we have one of the strongest squads in this league. I know we are capable of beating anyone in this league. I know things will turn around and form will inevitably improve. I know there are strong feelings within the club about the recent form being sub standard. I know that at home on Saturday players and management alike know they must perform. I know TM will not want any egg on his face. I know as do the players a good chance of promotion, higher wages, better career prospects lie ahead. I know that it's within the clubs own hands.
That's why I believe we could win the next 3.

How can you know things will turn round? It's a ridiculous thing to say pax. If you know things will turn round you should gather all your savings and take out a loan and put a massive hefty bet on it.
None of us know things will turn round. It's just guesswork and wishful thinking.
I can't help but also pick up on all the I know's, which are then followed by we COULD win the next 3.
We could, but form says very unlikely.
I think we will win the odd one here and there. Nothing to suggest though that we can win 3 in a row.If form says very unlikely then the outcome is relegation from here then O? Even your pessimism you might agree that conventional wisdom suggest, bearing in mind as you say "the first two" are relevant, that things will inevitably turn around.
I don't have a crystal ball O, so as "I know" all those things then the likely hood is we could win all 3. We could lose all 3 but that too is very unlikely right?
