Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.47) – Wigan away
April 19, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyWIGAN ATHLETIC 1 OXFORD UNITED 0 On the fairly silent homeward journey one comment rang very true with me. “If we weren’t where we are that would have been a really boring game of football”. It would have been ridiculous if any side residing in mid-table safety had taken the approach we did. Any team […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.46) – Southend at home
April 15, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyOXFORD UNITED 2 SOUTHEND UNITED 0 Given our remaining fixtures, if we’d not won this one I think there would have been a significant increase in the numbers within our fan base fearing league trips to Newport and Forest Green Rovers next season. The job is still not quite done because whilst 50 points usually […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.45) Fleetwood at home
April 11, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyOxford United 0 Fleetwood Town 1 Pre-match thinking Having finished 4th last season and seemingly having strengthened for this campaign, I mistakenly thought from the odds available back in August that they were a very good bet for promotion. That’s not how it played out. On January 13 they were 11th – one place below […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.44) – Oldham at home
April 8, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyOXFORD UNITED 0 OLDHAM ATHLETIC 0 Wonder what these German lads made of the game. Some Saturdays I leap out of bed with a spring in my step because it’s football day. Here though I just wanted to pull the covers over my head and not face another trip to the Kassam Stadium such has […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.43) Shrewsbury away
April 3, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyShrewsbury Town 3 Oxford United 2 After a win and/or impressive performance I feel enthused to bang out a Fan’s View. After each horrendous defeat (and there have been a lot to choose from this season) spewing out words in anger acts as a necessary safety valve. This FV falls into neither of these […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.42) Scunthorpe at home
March 30, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyOXFORD UNITED 1 SCUNTHORPE UNITED 1 In front of the sky cameras again for another silly kick-off time. Apparently I know the camera man’s brother. What an utterly welcome point this was. Not because it is, hopefully, one more in our slow crawl towards safety, but due to the fact that our first half performance […]
Fan’s View 2017/18 (no.41) Portsmouth away
March 28, 2018 - Added by Paul BeasleyKARL ROBINSON It can’t be denied that the wait for a permanent replacement for Pep Clotet dragged on and on but I wasn’t one of those who went into melt-down claiming that we were a laughing stock. Much better to get the right man in than appoint someone with undue haste. Some seemed to go […]
