After a good game v Cov and a good 90 mins at Wrexham we definitely should be winning this. 2-0 City.
This is a good early test of where we are at I think. Oxford, whilst not weak, really should be the kind of team you want to be beating at home if you want to be above 20th. The result is clearly not be all and end all at this stage but the performance will show us what we might be expecting out of the season. I think it’ll be close but we’ll edge it.
Visions of 70/71 all over again? Fresh from beating top of the league and unbeaten at home Sheff Utd on the Tuesday in the Battle of Bramall Lane in front of a full house 40,000+, then over 39,000 at Boothferry Park on the Saturday to see us hammer Oxford with Ron Atkinson lining up at centre half for them and his brother at full back.......you know the rest, one nil Oxford. Hope it's not the case on Sunday. I'd take a home win, last minute own goal would do for me.
