Oxford are one of the favourites for promotion. They have assembled a strong squad. They are unbeaten this season. They drew at home to Crawley, won 4-0 at Brentford and dug out a 2-2 draw at Luton.

Oxford have a few danger men. Hylton, Roofe, Hoban and Sercombe. I doubt we'll keep a clean sheet. I actually think our style is better away from home. I think this has all the makings of a cracker.

1-1 is my prediction. Spencer rescuing a point for us.

I have just watched the 4 minute highlights on the Scunthorpe site, I am impressed with the display put on by Notts.

The defending is another thing, schoolboy standard! The midfield completely disconnected from defending and both of Scunthorpes goals seemed to be a frenzy of very bad timed challenges. In fact the majority of the highlights us!

Their first goal, is a bit of a mistake from Roy but there was no defending at all

The second goal we allowed them so much time on the ball. One pass through our defence and one of their players gets in, one on one with Roy but instead of shooting, he passes to another player who tucks it a way.

I hope they take it more seriously in the league.

Is the defence bad or is it just a lack of wanting to get the ball?
