Have to say, immensely from me. I've already got my Oxford ticket and been down to the stadium today to also pick up my Cambridge ticket. Really hooked this season and can't wait for the next match.
Warne/?? have recruited really well this season and we are seeing the results speak volumes. There's competition all over the pitch for places which I've not seen for a long time. The midfield are simply immense and when Lindsay is fit, it's going to be even harder for him to replace any one of the middle three and, he must be really up for it if given the opportunity, not that I think he wouldn't be.
What is also healthy is the likes of Wood our talisman our leader has been left out of the back line and yet we are still looking solid as a defensive unit. Very difficult for Harding to play left back being a right footer but what a player he is with his no nonsense style and approach to every game. Ikcy is leading by example and a sure footing to replace Woody
when he steps down.
Long may these performances continue to roll out and the points gained along the way.

I'm enjoying it very much thanks. That's why I'm quite happy for us to ply our trade at this level. Playing in the championship just makes me miserable.
Yes, very enjoyable now
1. The 4-5-1 variants have basically been ditched
2. We haven’t got the drudgery of trying to survive in the Championship
It's been great. Trouble is, the games can't come round quick enough.
Grist if we could hold the nucleus of this side together, I think we could hold our own in the Championship. Not to be out smarted by late goals, (how many points did we drop doing that?) but be a mid table team.
I’ve not been overawed by what I’ve seen in the Championship this season.
Something to keep in mind is If we go up I’m sure the Christmas break for the World Cup will extend to the championship.
One good thing ( amongst others) is that our management team have built in more versatility with individual players, ie they can do ok playing in positions “ outside their comfort zone”
It will be valuable when the inevitable injuries and suspensions kick in.
Defensive duties have obviously been worked on, we now have a 10 man defence with all of the players regardless of position taking part rather than thinking “ it’s the back four’s job”
Next step for me is sharpening up on dead ball delivery, a lot of wastage of hard earned attacking positions.
