Reading need to let us win; Dave Windridge hit the crossbar 3 minutes from the end of their 1-0 win in 1985 that started their consecutive win run, AND how could they want Oxford to go up?

I live down south and I am tempted, but I haven’t seen us win away for ages…I am really worried it would be my fault if we didn’t get the result! And I went to Walsall and Lincoln….

You NEVER give the away team and end to attack….halfway line works if you keep them in until home fans depart.

Credit to the people that have put us in with at least a chance, including the coaching team and fans that believe. Can we do it? Will we sneak in thanks to the ineptitude of others? Frankly, I will take it.

I saw this and thought of the 1989-90 cup run. We were a bang-average team that deservedly got relegated but those cup ties and the QPR replays were among the few bright spots.

I have tried to forget Walsall as that was just…urghhh…whereas Wrexham in 1997 was comparable to this season….a late run and a smidgeon of hope, only to be dashed. Those +ive outcomes were strange; I actually felt confident for all 3.

I cannot forget Cardiff and Orient conspiring to do us. I went to York, hoping for a Posh miracle at Oxford. I went to Sincil Bank, thinking Mansfield would slip up and that a draw with in-form Lincoln would suffice. When we went ahead at Old Trafford, I thought 'yes, we can do this'. Each...

Thank you, ghf; I at the end of the day, it goes without saying that in this day and age, it is better to have your glass half full rather than half empty...and that is Mr Sadler's view on NC. D'you see what I did there?

I will put my hand up and say that I didn’t think we had a chance of promotion but yet, here we are. We are playing the fiddle while Rome burns and if that means that we have a seat in the play-offs when the music stops, I will take that. It appears the morbidly obese woman has not yet...

We have messed it up in times when it looked like we were seemingly home and hosed; it’d be nice to do it the unlikeliest way of all.

Weird, we take 4 pts off the champions but throw them away in games against other teams we might ordinarily be expected to beat.

Don’t you love wallowing in nostalgia? Tonight is taking me back nearly 30 years to the last time we were hoping Oxford would screw up… And we all know what happened then.

As you can see from my avatar, on the left, Billy means more to me than I can say in words.

Like a Sherpa Van 2-legged Northern Area Final? A tale of 2 penalties, perhaps?

I think he is one of the few players in our team that would be a genuine target for other clubs to pay a decent fee....

Every credit to those that will travel; I really hope the team rewards that loyalty. I've been to BP a few times and it's usually a close game with a good atmosphere. NC's tactics do not deserve the level of support that our fans provide away from home.

Team spirit is something that is hard to build and you cannot always buy it. To me, we have a collection of players rather than a cohesive group of men that would do battle for their teammates. The team captain should be leading the club from the dressing room and onto the pitch. Away from...

Good spot, 20togo; is he sending SS a subtle message? Or is he telling us that it all downhill from here….

I think he found out that you can be financially successful - through compensatory pay-offs for being unsuccessful - that he didn’t really need to try that hard any more…. Either that, or he was just in the right place at the right time, the first time around.

The longer he stays, the more damage he does to the potential success of the club. I’d love to be proved wrong, but to me he is now a toxic and malign presence.
