Watched Oxford Saturday.

Very impressive. Atmosphere was amazing. Almost like being back at Ninian Park when NP was rocking.

Norwich were awful mind.

Harris, Brown and Vaulks were really good and looked well at home at championship level.

I’ll bet anyone that Harris finishes with more goals than any Cardiff player this season.

I do think that Oxford will do better than people expected.

They don’t have any flash players but have a manager with great tactics that knows how to get the best out of them.

Early days though, not going to judge anything off the opening weekend. I think Preston won their first four last season before they were sent crashing back down to earth.

Cameron Brannagan is better than any midfielder we have not named Aaron Ramsey.

Will Vaulks will make Brannagan a better player. Tyler Goodrhem is three inches of height away from being a premier league player as is Brannagan actually.

Their keeper is top class and Elliot Moore the centre back would get in our team.

Harris keeps scoring (I’m surprised too) and seems to have added height and muscle to himself and now plays the part of number 9 really well. He would be our striker if he was at the club playing like he does.

They play 433 with 3 attackers not 451. The wingers press from the front. Their press is so impressive.

My blue light season ticket was a right bargain.

You nailed it on the head with that comment.

Lost 3-2 conceded 90+5

Deserved to lose tonight. They battle hard but they are league one team and were a bit fortunate with their goals. Classic Will Vaulks error gifted the points to Coventry in the end.

Yeah I agree. Coventry are a very well organised team and will destroy many clubs this season and will probably finish in the playoffs.

Yeah it was a brilliant goal, candidate for goal of the season.

I hope Bellamy calls him up next week. Think he deserves a place in the Welsh squad.
