    True about us selling out every game if back in PL

    "U's boss Chris Wilder told BBC Oxford:

    "It's a fantastic fixture for us and one we are all looking forward to.

    "It is an opportunity for us to go and play on a great stage in front of a decent crowd. It is a huge club, an unbelievably massive club.

    "Their fans are very fanatical and they will be looking to have a right good go at it this year.

    "I would say they are the biggest club outside of the Premier League. If they got back in the Premier League they'd sell out Elland Road every game.

    "So we will go there and enjoy it, but we want to play well and put on a good show and run them hard all night."

    If we're not careful & Warnock plays too many kids, there is a real danger of Oxford turning us over. Let's hope not. Let's also hope that Warnock gives the more experienced squad players a decent run out, whilst at the same time resting one or two of our normal starting line up.

    There not coming to make the numbers up. Can see us slipping up on this one! Its midweek, we have a skeleton squad & there bang up for it, even though they have a few injurys. This is there cup final.

    As long as we get through it without any injurys and dont draw the bloody game I wont be to fussed although a big tie next round at home might be just what we need so we can afford a signing!

    Indeed they're not Bucks. We should have enough in the locker, even if Becchio and/or Ross have to come off the bench to get a late winning goal. With Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, I doubt Neil will start with his strongest squad. So it could be an agonising evening.

    Oxford can play, and they work very hard, so it will be a good test for Leeds. We can't switch off against this lot at all, be interesting to see who plays. Would expect Peltier, Becchio and maybe Norris to rest, but not wholesale changes as FL have ordered League clubs to field their strongest teams.

    Yeah, after three league games and one cup tie the poor mites must be knackered. They need a well earned rest <ok>

    Agreed Billy - They will be up for it alright. Smaller clubs love a leeds scalp.

    LOL LiE....makes you wonder about the Prem softies!! Peltier we know is carrying a knock, and others with fitness issues will probably rest. However, interesting that FL tell League clubs they have to field their strongest sides but Prem clubs exempt. I want a win, and a money spinning draw against a Prem team that will field it's Reserves so we can make some cash, cause an upset and get to next round.
