    That's the Point mate.

    Bowyer said he watched loads of us for the interview and like me he has seen that Payne hasn't played well since December.

    A rather strange reply @Fordy117@Fordy117 , you quote "would you rest your best player, behave mate he's been dropped" so Bowyer comes into the club and drops our best player in your opinion, that sounds a great way of getting results/points.

    We are now rapidly running out of games before we will shortly find ourselves in the last chance L1 saloon.

    Wrestling at least 15pts from our remaining nine games when we haven't achieved that level of return all season seems a tall order and particularly for our current crop of under achievers.

    Ideally though we must at least get a point tomorrow at Oxford and particularly with the game being against one of our main rivals for the drop.

    Assuming at least a point tomorrow, then we somehow need to find a win and further draw from our four remaining away games.

    Then it's all down to whether we can end our home campaign with a burst of ten points from our four remaining games.

    I'll stick my neck out to say we should beat fellow strugglers Gillingham and Wimbledon at VP. Frankly if we can't then we really don't deserve to stay up. Then it all boils down to whether we can pull out all the stops and somehow find a way past either one of promotion hopefuls Blackpool or Doncaster and draw the other.

    We're not quite done yet and at this point l'd definitely take the final game v Wimbledon at VP to decide our fate.

    It's certainly a big challenge but with added twists and turns amongst our relegation rivals it's not mission impossible.

    I don't think he is our best player.

    Let's all try to guess what Karl Robinson says if we win.

    I'm going for:

    "After 15 minutes it should have been 3-0, we were that good"

    and

    "We just didn't take our opportunities, but we were the much better side"

    I know, I'm re-hashing the comments from when we beat them 2-0 at their ground last year, but we could genuinely see a repeat.

    "I'm not under any pressure" would be nice, followed by his sacking.

    Morning all safe trip down to a very wet and windy Oxfordshire for all who travel. Right the game well it's pretty simple you score you win,our inept idiot of a manager persists with 1 up front every effing week doesn't believe in 442 has an exusee for everything typical scousers it's never his fault. We are awful we have a very good squad just a shame that fat Twit can't manage them. Could be a very hostile environment for Robtoday should things not go our way,fans have had enough and protests are planned against the ownership and the worst manager we've had in years,he makes David Kemp look good. Safe travels away win

    Perhaps so, dropped/rested is the same thing I guess when you’re on the bench. Knowing you had two games when at least one that’s against top of the league, you know need to play a little tighter, would it be that crazy to suggest he was rested to ensure he was fit to go for a huge game against a relegation rival?

    Either way, it means sod all as the only fact was he wasn’t playing. Today will tell us if hen starts or not.

    OR ......... He comes off the Bench with more than just a minute left. ;)
    I personally expected Payne to come into play around the hour mark, against Luton. A big shame he didn't come on at all.

    I'd expect around 6500, plus both teams, officials and all the hangers on. :D

    If you score first today and we start shite he's gonna get it,should've been sacked after the Luton defeat months ago,his record is abysmal and his interviews are worse!! Genuinely believe you'll beat us today, think both clubs had different ideas for this season!!!

    Don’t think we had any idea for the season, we definitely didn’t have a clue

    If you score first then you will more than likely win.

    It's been a bad season for you guys but if you win today then I feel you will get out of it. You need to back your manager now.

    As far us we were certain to go down under Hopkin but we have a fighting chance but we must and I say must beat you all today or it's curtains!
