The 2 games the goals were scored in the same order

Overall, we took the lead seven times against Oxford this season.

They proved difficult to shake off.

It’s because of the concourse underneath the stand. They naused it up and there is no segregation under those empty seats. Fucked like the rest of the stadium..

What about the first few rows? I presume because of past pitch invasions or something like that?

Another tough , physical test overcome & we actually reached the top 6 !
It was never going to be that easy , as they are scrapping for points & have an experienced manager to steer them clear to another season in the championship.
Well done Frank & the boys , for another great 3 points

The Rudoni Injury is worrying as he gives so much to the team. Hopefully it just needs some rehab and it's a few weeks rather than months. It had popped back in again. As he walked off he was swinging his arm which you can't do if it's still out.

It was the physio that popped it back in again that's why he was able to swing his arm for the second time.

When the players were celebrated with the fans after the game he could see that Rudoni had his arm in a sling under his coat.

We started really well and I honestly thought it would be the game we really put someone to the sword. We dropped off quite a lot post 25/30 minutes and I’m not entirely sure why - missing Rudoni’s movement? It was clear he wasn’t right.

But we battled through, showed good commitment and resilience to see it through. Again, similar the the play off season.

Big talking point is the Sheaf/Grimes dynamic. It was painful at times as they were naturally filling the same space and wanting the ball in the same positions. It is the first time they’ve played together, so some of that is expected.

Got to now hope FL finds a way to make it work, losing Rudoni doesn’t help.

Had a great night out in Oxford after the game and spent an enjoyable few hours with OUFC season ticket holders. Their faceless owner sounds a complete nightmare. Was meant to see some lovely pubs with lots of history - but just stopped in Spoons and got drunk. Hope they stay up but they need a ground solution pretty damn quickly. Its got the potential to be as messy as ours got. Thanks for helping with the tickets..@McLovin87

Yes - Kassam wants them out the end of next season.
Haven't got very far with the new stadium, still filing reports so they will be looking for a groundshare 26/27.

Rudoni injury is a massive blow,

We are one point ahead of where we were in 2023 after 35 games but three places better off!

I noticed the Sheaf/Grimes issue also with them stepping on each others toes.

When Sheaf did break into the space higher up the pitch however i thought he was really effective and played some great forward passes. Typical City luck (Rudoni getting injured) as Grimes, Sheaf and Rudoni has the potential to be an amazing midfield.
