Good day all round.

[genome]

Yup, good results.

[Sutekh]

Yup, good results.

Even better, Reading didn’t lose either.

[Hound]

Almost perfect. And Sunderland need wins rather than draws

Again as last week, a home win in midweek would be absolutely massive for us. Not that I’ve any confidence in t happening

[Rea Ding]

This is why we will survive, the teams below us are terrible and cant see 4 of them going past us

[alfie9]

We are so lucky that the league is oxf*rd shite this season. Still 18th

Karacan started for Bolton today ( Alf came on as sub).

How many weeks / rounds of games have we been 'stuck' at 18th now?

I think we are looking at a lower points average than normal this year, 45 points could easily be enough.

If onlycircumstances were so easy to dismiss. I admire your optimism, even though I fear it is completely misplaced. When reality sets in to a club, they usually come out fighting, and there's usually a team or two that slug it out and gain results that give them a fighting chance. Sadly, despite soundbites to the contrary, I don't believe the reality of a relegation battle has hit us yet. If I was to put my money somewhere, Sunderland are at least showing a little bit of bottle if their results against Bristol City and Middlesbrough are anything to go by. Birmingham have got rid of Cotterill and look like they're going to appoint Gary Monk who's been in this situation before with Swansea, and Hull are beginning to battle and get results. And then there's Bolton who also lack quality but we if anyone's going to know about the tenacity of their manager it's us. Burton look doomed, Barnsley have sold all of their quality, and we are severely lacking on the touchline and on the pitch at the moment. In fact, if you look at the last 14 games my feeling is we've shown genuine spirit in just one of those matches (Derby).

I don't think we'll finish bottom, but let there be absolutely no doubt, we're in genuine trouble, particularly if it goes down to the last day's visit to Cardiff...

What a mess Chinese owners who never attend the games, have thrown millions of pounds away on crap signings. Disgruntled fans Players low on confidence no style of play, attendances going down. Thank god we are nothing like that.

Good day all round.

It appears that whatever we do - win / lose / draw / not play due to weather or an FA cup clash, we stay 4 points clear of the relegation zone!

Football must be infuriating for up and coming young managers in the lower leagues.

No matter what happens all the jobs at the “big clubs” that are struggling go to other managers that have recently failed at premier league / championship clubs. These managers are often still receiving pay-offs from more than one club where they have failed.
