Will Savage take calls on 606 immediately after winning 2-1? 

Think he's still employed on the radio?

Not looking forward to this one tbh, feels so easy to predict.

Two home games, come up, need to win both

Correct. back-to-back wins, are now a must.

[FoxesWalk]

Absolutely batter them 1-1, get 5 times the xG, miss 4+ big chances, and then hand them a goal on a platter passing it around at the back

The big chances won’t be a problem this game, BDCR won’t be playing.

Savage is talking about the Leicester game.

[Pita]

More pit- pat kick it back football

Last game of the season against Cambridge will probably come too soon for Chaplin

You can drop the 3pm from that and we’ve lost all 7 of our Saturday kick offs in 2026.

 

Oxford have scored double the amount of Saturday goals at the KP this year as we have.

Truly is one of the worst periods a club will ever go through. Just permanently rubbish no matter what the level.

[Dan]

As it stands the next time they can get to 2 points a game is to win the next 5. So no pressure.

 

Lose this and the next time we can get to the tabled 2 points a game for their magic 90 points is to win the 7 games after it, taking us all the way up to the end of November, which would leave us on 30 points from 15 games.

 

I don't think you can really oversell how appalling a start this has been. We're so used to losing that merely being average is treated as if it's OK.

We get the worst case scenario in basically every eventuality so I think we'll scrape an undeserved win this weekend that will buy him another month or so, and give the Facebook brigade a chance to say "we told you so" as we sit 11th in the third tier.

[majaco]

I have become an entitled fan in that I expect us to win.   And am regularly shocked when we lose to the might of ordinary League 1 teams.

 

When do we hit rock bottom and start to improve?

Complete waste of space so far, him and Burns. I'd rather have had Hutchinson and Carr in the squad and save the money.

This league is abysmal though. No one will get 100 points and run away with it. Look how tight it is. There will be little separating most teams. 

[Ric Flair]

After how much the Barnsley game effected the rest of my weekend I think i'll swerve this one. The last few weeks have been much calmer and i'm embarrassed that this football club still has the ability to control my happiness.

 

Respect those that still have the stomach for this.

That's another mark against this football club though. The lowly points total this season compared to others and yet we're way off it. Only consolation is we could make a change and it not be too later for someone else to utilise the biggest budget and squad of players in the division.

 

I'd still probably let him have a few more games to see if we are the work in progress he's so assured about and part of me wants him to own the responsibility of our worst season in our history by seeing it out, it would be fitting.

0-2

Savage fist bumping the away end at the final whistle

He can fist bump the home fans too for that

Bodes well for the season …….

I said in the summer we'd have a rocky start then click into gear in October.

 

Phase 1 complete.

 

Not confident for Phase 2, but fingers crossed...
