Championship 2025/26 Season

[Number 6]

Would very much like this to be a draw. But other results will mean nothing unless we do the job we're given today.

[st albans fox]

This Oxford team are in decent form. 
they can’t cope with Portsmouth’s intensity 

 

doesn’t bode well for when we go there because we’ll have to win 

[FrankieADZ]

looking like the 6 points we lost because of the gross mismanagement might actually relegate us again then....

 

and some of our fans STILL support the owners 

[TJB-fox]

And suddenly four points adrift. I feel so much anger towards King Power and Top.

[winteriscoming]

Portsmouth down to 10 men.

Awful decision 

[st albans fox]

could be argued a deserved red on the basis of what could have happened to the player but the reality was it’s a yellow 

lino gave it 

[whoareyaaa]

never a red  

[Enyoueffsea]

Don’t understand how there is any debate there, he jumps in with a scissor action, absolutely nowhere near the ball.

 

Could’ve easily broke a leg or did ligaments as a result of that, just a really bewildering challenge.

 

Based on the definition of serious foul play:

 

a tackle or challenge for the ball that uses excessive force or brutality, endangering an opponent's safety

 

Think it describes the challenge perfectly, tbh.

 

Edit - should point out that view is based on modern day football as opposed to what would usually have been given.

I think var would struggle to overturn it because of the high bar involved - jumps in with excessive force and out of control on the follow through 

more likely that an appeal tomorrow will be positive for them 

[Stevosevic]

A draw is the best result and after that it’s an Oxford win. 
 

Hopefully the 10 men counts.

Agree. 

 

I just don’t understand what he thought he was possibly trying to do there, braindead.

[foxfanazer]

I've got this on my both teams to score bet so was 100% a red for me

It does however we’ve been so appalling over the majority of the season, the 6pts should never have been an issue.

I blame Rudkin for the state of the squad. 

 

[Sunbury Fox]

Oxford's whole game plan is to play a low block and hit on the break. Not sure they're the sort of team who will be good against a 10 man team sitting deep.

Portsmouth v Oxford 

 

Whats the best result for us with portsmouth having a game in hand.

 

Definitely not a Portsmouth win though.

What have Plymouth got to do with anything?

 

 

Anyway. A Pompey win wouldn’t be very good at all, because they have a game in hand.. win those two and they’re taking it out of our hands. 
 

Best result is a draw, or satisfactory would be an Oxford win.

They don’t have a game in hand either.

 

Stockport do though, if that factors into anything.

😆 I live in plymouth.

[filbertway]

Millwall's tactic of not participating in the first half of games for this run in is an interesting one.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

One all Oxford 

[JimJams]

There we go.

[JonnyZeroFox]

Get in Oxford
