Oxford v Coventry 0-1 already
They are on a bad run, could Oxford be dragged in?
They've still got an 8 point gap but you never know.Quote:

Maybe fans aren't always right?
Oxford getting pulled back into it again. No wins in their last 8 games.
Great result for City, a win in the game in hand will put another team below us, which is the only thing that matters at this point in the season
They feel a team to me who will stay up this year somehow but go down easily next season.Quote:

BBC said 9 changes from the team that beat Wednesday a week ago yesterday.Quote:

Oxford lost
Derby losing
Luton winning
Stoke drawing
Mixed bag so far
Portsmouth just missed a sitter to equalise against Luton, we could do with it being a draw
Noticed McGuinness on the bench for Luton.
He was injured in their game against Plymouth and missed their game against Watford. Brought on at 70 minutes today.Quote:

And only three points.Quote:

Maybe I'm the only one who isn't really bothered with how the other teams around us do. It has no bearing on whether we stay up or not. We either get enough points or we don't.
Doesn’t how the teams around us do determine what’s enough points to stay up though?Quote:
