Couple of definite plus points

[sufcintheprem]

1) With Lincoln now six points behind and Macc five, we can all but write them out of the automatics (shotgun not famous last words). This leaves just the top four to compete with and...

Although we may have lost top spot today, our position with regards to securing automatics marginally improved due to Eastwood's goal

2) Oxford's total attendance today was 5900. To take 1900 and almost a third of the stadium is a terrific effort and it's only a shame that they had to see the unsavoury stuff they did.

So, it's not all bad. The important thing is to get ourselves goign again for the Yeovil game and learn from the game. Defeat wasn't a disaster today and we did play some good football. By all accounts, Yeovil are playing some pretty good stuff so we're going to need the crowd to give us the cliched twelfth man.

COME ON THE SHRIMPERS!

(WISH I COULD GO TO THE YEOVIL GAME!)

We can't rely upon the results of other teams though to get promotion and possibly win the title

 

[sufcintheprem]

On recent form, I don't know why not

With Swansea losing surely arent we in a better position with regards promotion than we were at 3 oclock Saturday ie. the gap between us and 4 th spot is still the same ( goal diiff has even got better than Swans ) and they now have only 2 games instead of 3 to catch up ?? Also if our game is level on Saturday and Swans are behind both us and Yeovil would be promoted which could make for a wierd situation whereby we could see a draw being settled on with all supporters ( including Yeovil,s ) nervously awaiting the final whistle at the Swansea game to start the party at Roots Hall , unlikely i know but very possible !!

Yeah, that was the point I clumsily tried to make! One game closer to the finish and we're better off at the end of the day than the start. Who knows how Swansea will react to the defeat.

amazing to think that yeovil have the second highest goals against tally in the division !!!!!!!!! think were see plenty of goals on sat !!!

We'll beat Yeovil on sat as we always play well against "footballing" teams. Oxford and the like who have a majority of neanderthal 7' tall and 19 stone defenders always seem to undo us.
Win next week, and all the hullabaloo of this weekend will disappear and we'll be off to Cleethorpes with a spring in our step to win the title!

I see no reason why we can't win our last 2 games, IMHO we are the best side in this division and with Yeovil on current poor form we have nothing to fear. If we can go into the last day in top spot I'm extremely confident it'll be a day to remember in Cleethorpes....
