3-0 loss im afraid cant remember last time we won there.  no doubt someone will get sent off. If anyone gets sent off its a close call between Jones and Thompson. As for last winning there, we have never won at the Kassam ever we have lost our last 5 games at Oxford the last win being in 2001 a 2-0 with Turbo Robinson scoring both goals on his debut. That was our only win at the Pox in 9 meetings with us losing every other game. |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

It's not that bad....just the last 4. Of course, that may change today. We're unsuited to the muck and nettles needed for derby matches, and if we try to do it will get players sent off. Better to treat it like any other game. |

Feeling optimistic for a draw as defence is looking good still can`t work out who is going to score goals this season - is Yasser playing? 1-1

Yeah that was a typo my bad I meant to put 4 there in a row and 5 defeats in a row vs them (after effects of yesterdays anaesthetic is my excuse!), still 1 win and 8 defeats in the last 9 matches there does not make good reading. |

It's not great, but there are plenty of other clubs in this league where we've a similar terrible record or even worse. Take the Pikeys, we've 1 win in 38 league games at Priestfield. |

The day after Boxing Day in 86, that was my first visit to the shithole of Priestfield. Although we have drawn there 4 times in the last 7 meetings there that is a poor record. |

Pox 0-1 Town

Unbelievable Jeff!

It's very difficult to explain such a poor record at a ground, but undoubtedly there is something about the long trip east to the Medway towns, and the shithole that is Priestfield, that has a negative effect on our heroes. Our overall record at the Manor was OK 6 defeats in 24 league games, 2 out of 3 wins in cups. It's a bit early to say the soulless shithole that is the Kassam has some sort of negative impact on our young chaps....but it's almost like the negative effect is felt by the Oxford players for the rest of the season, but the game v Town lifts the burden off their shoulders. |

Hope we win, think we'll draw, fear we might lose.
Have always thought that these games seem to mean more to them (fans and players) than it does to us, I guess because they have mostly been inferior.

Have to say that 2 pages of pre match thread at 1.30 is piss poor for this game.
Hopefully a good result will rekindle some interest.
On board no 5 bus after a very nice large Belvedere vodka for the road.
Lets do this .
Disappointment is not an option today.

I can imagine a lot of people are heading to, or otherwise preparing for the game. Hoping for a win, 1 - 3. Although I had a crazy dream we won it 2 - 8 the other night. |
