We still should've beat Oxford but truth be told, they were hoping for a Draw or a Brighton draw, as long as one of us drew the result would have been a happy one and ruined Sky's TV picks and resolved this fixture mess.

Yup. It's getting absurd. It's all football, all the time. Televisions trying to get as much football being televised as possible and it causes havoc with the fixture schedule. It's the same as the packed Christmas schedule, we make teams play more football at the time of year injuries will be more common.
