In answer to the title of the OP:
Yes please. That will do nicely. The double over Gargoyle and the win at Bristol Rovers were just icing (and some would say with a cherry on top) on a very nice cake being baked by Dinger...

That's memory again ... I get that problem regularly! 1996/97 Hereford bottom with 47 points. Brighton 23rd also with 47 points and these days would have gone down but only one down in those days. I think Exeter 22nd and us 21st. I believe the highest number of points gained by a team relegated to the Conference was 49, which is why we use 50 as a safety benchmark, although I stand to be corrected if not right.
Well they do say you lose 30,000 brain cells a day once you get over 30 so, at 53, I don't have many left so the old memory has failed again!! Where am I??? Who are you????

I'd be much happier when we get to 60 points, just in case we were to go into administration and be docked 10.
How's that for optimism..........

Correct.
The next four teams above Oxford (including us) all on 52 points.

Like Lincoln last season, Oxford over their last ten games suffered a collapse of form and dropped from midtable into the relegation places.
