Go for the six-pointer at home to Oxford?
We struggle with two games close, do you think we should try a weaker team to try and beat Oxford?
Concentrate everything on Preston, Stoke, and Oxford then see where they are?
It has been done in the past by some teams and Managers.
I suppose we could lose the next two, then we'd have to go for bust, but if we win them both?
No.
They lost to Oxford on Saturday and are there for the taking!
No, we really can't afford to write off any match.
NO NO YESQuote:

Yes and they were very good to be fair.Quote:

Play the reserves against Oxford, they might actually try and win a game.
maddest suggestion I've seen in a while to be fairQuote:

Given the selection changes for each game I’m not really sure who is a first team or reserve team player

Stick to knitting butt, your man Riza's taking us down :thumbup:Quote:

Now I know you're a troll.Quote:

No they didn't.
All Riza has to do is tell the squad this is a 3rd round FA cup game. 3 points are there for the taking.

I agree though, we've got six games left, we cannot write one off. We've already got a huge ask to win 3 from 6, 3 from 5 is seriously going some.
They're all doing badly enough that very few are nailed on starters.Quote:

For comedy effect we could start with Meite, AEG, Willock, and get Kanga back on emergency loan,
