This is going to be a tough one today - could really go anyway, but I fancy us to just sneak it. Think we’ll have to go quite defensive and try to disrupt their play (they looked good against City in the second half) in the middle, absorb their pressure and try to score from set pieces (Samuel to provide nuisance value and pick up free kicks on the edge of their box and JJ to score.) 2-1 to Wycombe roared on by a full voiced away following.
Oxford to have the consolation of getting their ‘proper’ derby back when Swindon win L2 and they stay put in L1. COYB.

Slightly surprised to see Bayo in ahead of Samuel, I'd have thought today was set up for his work rate. Still, a strong XI and strong bench. COYB!
Think that reflects well on Kashkets work rate in recent games with added goal threat. Might also suggest we go a bit narrower. Might not.
We'd be crazy to go narrow against a side that stretches it as much as Oxford. Surprised to see Bayo starting but probably benefits Scotty. Shame no Grimmer but hopefully not far off!
Pretty sure it'll be Samuel for Kashket. Shame for Scotty, but we need Samuel to come on hold the ball up and win some free kicks. This could be a long 2nd half though.
Love how everyone becomes a tactical genius when we are up against it. I had us down to lose today as it was always going to be tricky so a draw now would be a fantastic result.
Luton and Barnsley lost 6 and 7 respectively last season so we need to remain calm.
So proud of this team! That second half was tremendous, and they should all hold their heads high. It shows how great we are that at 10 men, away to a great footballing side, we had them worried for much of the half.
What a group of players! Roll on Portsmouth! There is no-one to be afraid of!
I don't like to say it, but that defeat is on Bayo. Regardless of how Mousinho has acted, moment of idiocy from our most experienced player. He should know much, much better.

The usual bits ? COYB!

Point would be great today, win is dreamland
The side looks so familiar to one we would have fielded last year. It's incredible how these players have turned it around so drastically.

This is team that went to Tranmere in the league, aside from Sido. Hopefully we can play as well!
Gape off with an injury on 9 minutes and on comes Ofoborh.
Anyone watching get a proper look at the red? Looked like their player faked a headbutt by Bayo.
ref is on a bung ....what a disgrace
Got sent off for a second yellow for an argument according to The BBC.
“Argument” is a great euphemism!
Poor from Mousinho, pushed in the chest and went down like he’d been shot.
But even worse from Bayo for getting involved when on a yellow.
His first yellow was equally silly.
Not good.
Bring on Darren Bent....

Looked like a very borderline sending off challenge from their man on Kashket. Mousinho acting the absolute cretin as usual.
Gape injured early doors, allsop with arguably only his second massive error of the season. Then bayo.
Gona be a massive recovery from this.
Looked badly setup from the off with their right players having acres.
Our Twitter has it as great saves from allsopp so maybe i have to see it again and doing him a disservice

Allsop's saves were all great. He was unlucky more than anything.
Free Freeman!
Ipswich losing 1-0 at Pompey.
worst ref I have ever seen
Can't be worse than the one at Ipswich?
It's very easy to blame the ref but 20 shots to our 6, and 81% possession to our 19% tell the general story of the game.
Not our day. It happens.
It had to happen I suppose. We lose we learn someone said once. Or twice. Only two losses going into Christmas. Not bad Is It?

7 Pts clear at top of league one at Christmas.
I’ll take that.
