6 to go. Bolton still in a play off position on goal difference 6th level on points with 7th placed derby take on another side struggling against relegation and desperate for points of their own. Oxford 2 points above the relegation zone are on a terrible run. Although unbeaten in the last 4 they haven't won a game in the last 14. Oxford have already won 3-1 at the unibol this season. First of an away double header with Burton away on Tuesday. Team news. Down to the bare bones Evatt has lost his dice and has none to roll. Injuries have dug deep. What we know. Definitely out injured. Iredale, Bodvarsson for the season, also Isgrove, Santos and Toal are still unavailable. Evatt has mentioned he has 2 other players injured. A strong rumour is mbete is one, the other Lee. Dempsey is available. We shall see tomorrow. I have some dice and came up with Trafford. Jones Mj Williams Johnston. Bradley Dempsey Morley Sheehan John. Nlundulu Charles. Kick off 3pm.

Interesting I thought was we down to 10? Counted and yes 11. That was hard work. Been told Oxford can't score and so it came to pass. No more injuries? Sorry not seen it all .

Benny had you seen it all you would have thought that you were having a nightmare. We looked good for half an hour and then we deteriorated into chaos. We couldn't keep the ball and to put it bluntly, if they had had a decent striker, they would have won the game.
They hammered us 0-1 for a full hour. We will need to be very lucky if we get into the playoffs and get to Wembley. There are two better teams above us in Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday.
However, if we do manage to get to Wembley, it's a one-off game and we can perhaps take heart from the Pizza Trophy final. We just have to get there first.

If this is our injury hit poor spell that we had last year and we're getting better results in it then I'll take the 90 minutes of hell hit.

Mbete out 4/6 weeks. Really annoyed me the Cambridge commentator saying he was feigning injury when it was obvious he had hurt himself. I really hate these ifollow home commentators. Unusual to have so many injuries in one position. 4 centre backs out.

How's Adam Senior doing? we best have a look at the B team centre backs and get the fast track moving.
Who out of them will make it first.
If none of them are worth a seat on the bench it's time to rethink the B team again.

Charles is spending today, resting with an ice pack on his knee.

Toure is next in line. Looked decent when he came on as a sub in one of the cup games earlier this season. Inexperienced though plus don't know if he gone backwards or not. Senior I don't think we can recall him. Looking at dropping full backs and midfielders into the back 3 any more injuries.

Tuesday will be here soon no reinforcements coming from the sick bay unless Lee is OK. I don't think we have heard what his injury is, let's hope it isn't serious and he will be fit to play on Tuesday.
Are there no centre-halves who are not playing for a club that we could sign?

Apparently, Evatt thinks that Senior can be recalled but he doesn't want to recall him unless matters get worse.
I'm not sure which way Evatt will go with Senior when the season ends. I seem to recall that he is happy where he is and I think there is a possibility that is where he may stay.
Watch this space.
