    Don’t know whether to be worried or pleased that everyone is worried about playing us. I preferred the Oxford pre game views. Bradford is a tough one. And they will be confident after winning yesterday.

    Yeah, I see it as a big test. These lads are up to it though.

    It's quite bizarre really. I spent the summer thinking we had a squad to do just ok in this league if we kept them together, which we have. Top 6 hopefully but not certain. Many of us have been worried about there being little activity in the market. Fans of other clubs however see it differently and are convinced we have the strongest squad in the league. I am beginning to come round to their view. ;)

    Michael Collins. Was a player at Halifax last season. First go as a manager. Far too soon to know if he is any good

    His name is Michael Collins and as Seethi rightly says, he's came through their Academy
    Coaching ranks. I think the Bradford fans are right to show us respect. They have a relatively
    new set of players, whereas we have kept most of last years squad together and have added
    a top quality player in Dougall. Without sounding over confident, they are also right in predicting
    we are capable of finishing in the top six. If we can continue to play like we did yesterday, in my view we must
    be among the favourites for automatic promotion surely.

    Liam Neeson did a film about him as well, so he must be a decent manager. :D

    I really don’t like us being labelled the best team in the league. Don’t get me wrong, the compliments are a welcome change to the norm but I think I’m just used to us being the plucky underdog always willing for a scrap so I’m a bit cautious.

    Oxford were utterly useless if the best teams in the league are 200% better then Oxford we may struggle to win it, otherwise, let's give it 10 games to see just where we stand.

    If they/Bradford let it go now that'll be the end of it. But if they try to score against us, we will find them, and we will beat them. (I hope) :D
