    Good unbeaten run away from home. And we're still in the hat. Happy days.

    If we beat Oxford in the replay we’re rewarded with a home match v Sutton.

    At least it's at home, although I'm more confident with our away form at the moment.

    Our away form is good at the mo. If we sort it out at the Mem we'll start moving rapidly up the table and also into the next round of the Cup.

    But that's still a big "if". Plus Mr Barton has some upcoming court cases to contend with soon - I hope he keeps his eye on the ball and doesn't squander our recent upturn in form.

    Saunders has torn his ankle ligaments out until the new year

    Definitely. I would have taken a replay before kick off for sure. I would have taken it when 2-1 down too. So it is a very good result. And I agree, you have to stay in the game to give yourself a chance. I think I would give more credit if we stayed in the game due to rock solid defending and keeping them out but we didn't. We only stayed in the game because of Oxfords inability to take their chances. They could have easily scored 4 in a 15-20 minute spell in that 2nd half. Teams do need luck at times in games. I just hope we haven't used up all our luck in 1 game as we will need more luck to survive games because we just concede too many goals, allowing too many chances and a lot of the time it's our own fault with individual cock ups.

    It's certainly going to be interesting how it will work because he won't be at the training ground while sat in court.

    When we lose the replay against Oxford we will be able to concentrate on staying in league 2 because we will be out of all the cup competitions

    3 - 0 think I will play FM

    They got 4 in 24 minutes in the league match they have 13 minutes to beat that

    I know we don't have a strong side out but did we not learn from the first 25 minutes in the league fixture that Exeter comes out all out attack from kick off? 3-0 down so quick is pathetic. Not slating the youngsters but seems like no preparation has been put into this game.
