That I am writing this and not driving up the M40 is indicative of the fact that I'm not attending. As I miss my first league game of the season, will I also be missing a famous first win in League One for the boys in yellow?

This is the only game on tonight, probably, and as it features two of the 'bigger names' outside of the Premiership I expect lots of excited chatter from neutrals.

Does anyone know anything about Fleetwood? Sam Long, our deputy RB, serves a suspension for a red card at the weekend. Fleetwood seem like the best sort of team to be playing without a RB as they don't sound particularly good.

3-0 Oxes.

Would have had this down as an away win pre-Rosler. I think he's a fantastic appointment for Fleetwood.

1-1.

We were very poor last year and attempting to rebuild under Rosler.

Had a steady start without being anything special but we have loaned a couple in who are meant to be upgrades in attack and midfield so we are hoping they will make a difference.

We didnt win many at home last season so its hardly a fortress so from that point of view it would be seen as a winnable game for Oxford and of course an opportunity for us to get first win.

No idea what result we will get tonight but hoping its a positive one. Fleetwood had been talked down by a lot of people but have started alright to be fair.

Welch-Hayes couldn't get any game time at Banbury United last season. We will concede a few tonight, it will be a matter of whether we can score enough to get any sort of result.

If Welch-Hayes is in the first team squad then we have to be able to plug him in when our two RBs are out. I have no problem with him getting a start.

Still, sounds like we are a bit under the cosh.

Even enough first half but we got on top after the break, dominating possession and sharper in attack, culminating in two clinical finishes.

Oxford popped it about well enough at times without really threatening, no final ball on the night.

Fair play to the fans that travelled up here midweek.

Good win for Fleetwood and pretty comfortable. Oxford's best spell was after they went 1 down but good sub by Rosler to bring on Hunter who quickly scored to put the game ( almost ) out of reach of the visitors.

The good thing about Fleetwood at the moment is we are scoring goals, 2 against Leeds/Scunny and now tonight. A breath of fresh air which augurs well for the season, never forgetting this is one hell of a tough league

Worry not. I cashed out when QPR went 2-1 up for £133.08

Well if we didn't sound particularly good before the game then after watching you boys for 90 mins you're awful, your new lad Hemmings was dreadful. We did alright and could have scored more than 2, but I think on that performance you might concede a few more against a firing Peterborough team at the weekend.

So are you saying that my analysis of a team I've never seen play went poorly?

He's starting for us mate, looks quite promising actually!
In all seriousness, why would you think that a winless team sitting in the relegation zone could do with its two most bankable assets back?

A decent win which sets us nicely against Bolton on Saturday
