Cheltenham v Oxford

[Jerry St Clair]

Had to suffer a rather annoying invasion by the YeLOLow Army today as Oxford and their vomit-inducing, yellow replica shirt clad supporters came to town (when your home crowd averages a smidgen above 2500, then 1700 away supporters definitely constitutes an invasion).

Dean Morgan starred up front for the Pox and, rather pleasingly, was kept comfortably in former Royal Alan Bennett's back pocket all afternoon. Morgan does seem to be a thoroughly scummy individual. Even though he's spent the past 10 years tramping round the basement divisions, he still seems to think he's Wayne Rooney. No Dean, you're just a bit shit.

So, my record against the traditional Reading rivals reads won one (Aldershot), lost one (Swindon), drawn one (Oxford). Meh.

Dean Morgan is up there in my least favourite footballers. Neck tattoos NOPE, footballing chav with a massive chip on his shoulder and like you say is just a bit shit.

Was a decent result for TUFC, looks like a 3 horse race for the other 2 Promo spots.

The half time from Plainmoor got a rousing cheer at Whaddon Road. I think we had a feeling it wouldn't finish that way, though.

Swindon and Torquay have the momentum. Shrewsbury could go either way. Crawley, Cheltenham and Southend are all sliding. I would take Oxford or Southend in the play-offs. Nothing special about either of them. In fact. I think Oxford are the worst of the play-off bunch.

I dread the thought of meeting Crawley at Wembley. I just can't see anything other than Fat Man Evans celebrating on the hallowed turf.

I can't see Crawley with their run in not being top 3. The hardest game of their 9 remaining is Crewe at home. Ideal world is they muck it up and lose in the playoff final but I can't see it.

Shrewsbury 8 games left 5 at home and they are loads better at home than away. Worries me to be honest, really hope we can hang onto one of these spots and its always better having points on the board at this stage but even so, will be difficult for us.
