The Dub - Mr Oxford United's Sheffield steal

  • Published

"Take out the disappointment of the midweek defeat against QPR. For us to pick up six points from these three games, for us to beat the team that were top of the league in Sheffield United, for us to then go away from home and win, which we've done so few times this season… it is a seismic win."

Those are the thoughts of Oxford United supporter and podcaster George Elek after the U's picked up a crucial 1-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday in the battle to avoid relegation from the Championship.

It was just a second away win in the league this season for Oxford, which helped them move six points clear of the drop zone with four games to play.

Elek appeared on The Dub podcast alongside BBC's Robyn Cowen and Jerome Sale, as well as former defender Ben Purkiss.

They discuss "the most Oxford United seven days imaginable" and whether or not the win at Hillsborough means they are now "close" to safety in their first season back in the second tier since 1998-99.
