Wow, almost word for word the same as your prediction for Gillingham ...spooky!

"Its another must win but I think we will suffer a narrow loss having dominated the play and created (but not taken) the best chances."
Amazing how a last minute win against a relegation threatened team hasn't made my opinion of our current form change from the pessimism instilled by a prolonged dip in our form that has taken us from top of the league to hanging on for the last spot in the playoffs. My thoughts will change once our form has improved to the extent we are playing well and beating teams consistently. The events of the last few months have killed the highs of earlier in the season where we looked great.

I'd say everyone's the same tbh.

We will massacre them. Broady HT, Ross x 2 + 1 other. 1-6.
This is the day we get the goals to match our approach play. Just one of them days where it all goes to plan.
Doddle.
Unfortunately, and I hope I am wrong, I think all the top teams will all get wins this weekend.

Cheers RTB for yet another superb thread and ace write up.
 
Woke up too late for my 5am train, as I thought I might, so have a spare ticket if anyone needs it.

I can cancel the hotel up until 11am unless someone wants it for £55 :emoticon-0100-smile

Our current form? What no losses in 7? And you predict losses twice in a row. Yep. Form is shocking!

weplayed well in 4 of the last 6. The 2 we’ve played poorly in we won comfortably. The 2 probable best performances ended up as draws too.

I think we’re in a good place and look confident at the minute

Oxford's form is poor, they've not won for a month and haven't scored more than one goal during that time.

As they're not able to to sit back, needing three points, I'm sure we'll score.

Our defence is looking decent and I can't imagine they'll score more than once.

Stewart is due goals and I'm going for two, including a penalty to win it.
 
Big day today. I am in confident mood. I think we can see Oxford off and get one foot in the play offs. I am going for a 2-0 win with Ross to break his mini drought (open play) and The Pritch to score one early. Defence will be solid and we will see more of Dan Neil today dictating possession.
