Yeah we have really turned it around of late, shame the last 2 results werent better otherwise we'd be in a play-off place.We havent quite sorted out the side since Boyd left, the two players who have been tried upfront have not really made the desired impact and I cannot say it suprises me as both are basically target men and with Morison leading the line so well there's no need for someone else dominant in the air to be there.I don't know why we've brought in Mitchell Cole unless he's going to take Boyd's role as we already have two good left wingers.

I have to say I'm suprised Daggers are where they are, outside bet for the play-offs was all I said before the season but they really work hard as a team and some really talented young players.Would have been interesting had Craig Mackail-Smith gone along with Blackett to Peterborough though as they'd have had to replace both with lower league signings and they may not have worked out.

CMS still may go though from what I have heard, Sunderland rumoured to be interested and he really is a cracking player's, prior to joining Daggers himand Blackett were at a club just up the road from me Arlesey who my PE teacher played for at the same time as them.We had the chance at signing the pair of them but our old manager turned them down, worst piece of judgement from him other than releasing DJ Campbell for nothing.

Isn't Mitchell Cole related to Joe Cole.........or Joe's sister is Mitchell's other half or something (and the surname is just coincidence)

Mackail-Smith has now left Daggers

Oxford slipped up again though

@ releasing DJ Campbell

Yeah Mitchell Cole is the partner of Joe Cole's sister, proably got to know her through being at West Ham at the same time as Joe.

Mackail-Smith is meant to have been told he had to go to Peterborough because of pre-contract agreement and Daggers wanted the money in the end.Craig's dad wanted him to go somewhere else after the uncertaintity at Peterboro.

Oxford really do look a poor side at the moment, after that defeat away to Gravesend which ended their unbeaten start to the season they just seem to have plummeted, clearly nobody is really that scared of them and even when they were doing well people were saying they didnt look that great just a solid side who won mainly because of late goals/penalties which all seemed to come through Yemi Odubade.When we played them the defence and midfield was slow and easy to breakthrough and even when we went down to 9 men we still almost won the match.

We also let Sam Sodje go to Margate for peanuts and now he's in the prem.I questioned the release of Campbell and sale of Sodje at the time and looks like I've been proved correct.
