ST renewals

The renewal deal looks fair to me, all things considered. I do wish we could get at least the Tinpot Trophy home games thrown in rather than half price pre-season matches or half price guest tickets. But hey ho, that option died years ago. The new d/d option over 10 months is a good move, as it mean...

Re: Going down?

It looks to me like Manning is making progress. On Saturday we were the better side against a promotion hopeful, in the second half and created plenty of chances. As I thought at the time, letting Matty Taylor go was criminal, and his treatment by KR was scandalous. Since he has left, he has been ou...

Re: Liam Managing

I’m not remotely convinced that LM is the right man for the job. Apart from one season at MK, he has achieved little. That said I am satisfied that KR had overstayed his welcome. Even putting aside some of the less savoury tales off the field. Personally, I think MApp had unfinished business and so ...

Re: KR in / KR out?

My understanding of the KR position is very similar to Dr Bob. But I also understand that KR told Matty Taylor that he was not going to be given a new contract, which was a bit foolish on the part of KR. Whether this was said in response to the alleged cardboard cut out, or already on the table, is ...

Re: KR in / KR out?

At last. As Already mentioned above, this should have happened 2 weeks ago. I’ve got no confidence in the group appointed as caretaker. LB-S has really only worked with kids. CS was more on the sports science side and WB is a goalkeeping coach. Happy to be proven wrong of course, but my preference w...

Re: KR in / KR out?

Surely out. His RadOx post match interview was bizarre. And he keeps saying he knows what needs to be done, which begs the question why hasn’t he done it already? Another trip to League 2 would be disastrous and could put the club back 10 years on the field. With no guaranteed ground in 3 years time...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

I've now been (hopefully reliably) informed that the club agreed to a re-negotiated license, since the one I hold, without the right of renewal included. That was a bit (a lot) bonkers in my view, without a credible alternative in place. So now we do face homelessness. Not very clever, and the club'...

Shrews blues

Better performance, but a loss but against a poor side, who have somehow now managed 5 wins in a row.

The new players had little affect on the game.

No much else to say really.

Lose to MK and Robbo maybe looking for a new job.

Yorkshire brew

I don't see what KR sees. We watch the same matches, but our respective recognition of what has happened is very different. KR claimed the match was very even in the first half. I don't agree. I think we went in lucky not to be 3 or 4 down. We had an all too brief 10 minutes in the second half when ...

Re: Heroes

With so many squad changes over the last few seasons, does OUFC even have such heroes anymore? I'd suggest that Cameron Branagan is a worthy contender. He's done wonderfully for us since he came, has a talismanic presence on the pitch, turned down a move to a club higher up the leagues because he w...

Heroes

All football clubs rely on having a hero or two, that have a strong bond with the fans. A player that we would all pay good money just to see. The likes of Briggsy, Aldridge (either one!), Beano, Joey. The star that shone above the rest. Arguably, Matty Taylor was that player for OUFC in recent seas...

Matty T

Well that was a surprise.

I feel sorry for him, as I think his restricted scoring is far more to do with Robinson's playing style, than any lack of ability of Matty's part.

I suspect this decision is a financial one.

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

The club is financially viable on the present terms at Grenoble Road. Possibly not at the level we want the club to be at, but it can survive and it does survive. I think that rather depends on how you define financially viable. The club survives because rich people bankroll it, not because it is p...
