Bradford - deja vu?

Last year the match at Valley Parade saw a performance from Creighton of such indiscipline and ineptitude that imho resulted in CW making the decision to get rid. Did Damian Batt repeat that yesterday? I fear he may have done - CW really seems to have lost patience with DB. I love Damian Batt as a p...

Reserves tonight.

Excellent, entertaining game. Team consisted of all youth team players plus Fletcher and 2 triallists, against an experienced Luton side with several recognisable names, most notably Craig McAllister(the slowest player on the field). United played pacy, passing football throughout and stuck to the t...

AD was very highly qualified and also an osteopath - and I understand quite a strong personality! Whilst admirable to have someone of his calibre at the club, I find it difficult to see what would have occupied him full time at OUFC.
Would guess that his replacement is considerably cheaper.

New strength and conditioning coach - Dan Bond

Looks like the answer to &quotwhere is Andy Dubowski?&quot is that he has left the club. If that was announced, I certainly missed it.
Has been replaced by Dan Bond, who had done an internship at the club.

Re: OSC tonight.

One would imagine the trouble was up front, as I would hazard a guess that Fowler and Creighton were among the more supportive. IIRC, Creighton posted on Facebook after the game &quotIf that's what my career has come to, I'm hanging up my boots&quot - or something very similar. So, that's w...

Re: OSC tonight.

One would imagine the trouble was up front, as I would hazard a guess that Fowler and Creighton were among the more supportive. Turley always looked disgruntled and bickered with people so difficult to tell the difference. Fowler was released at his own request a few weeks later Has since received ...

Re:

I've often said that this is the kind of senior/youth balance that should be used in reserve games, as it allows the few selected to benefit from the experience from playing alongside the senior players, rather than the heavilly youth weighted sides that have been used in the past, which offers the...

Re: OSC tonight.

Name names then! Or speculate ... Oxford started with a fairly strong line-up that included Billy Turley in goal, Adam Chapman and Kevin Sandwith in the full-back positions alongside Mark Creighton and Henry Owen in central defence. An impressive Lee Fowler was pulling the strings in midfield, with...

Let's just say that the reason I was so shocked was that the player concerned was probably one of the last that I expected such attitude from.

The one who impressed was Frannie Green - again, not the obvious one.

OSC tonight.

Will be very interesting to see how the senior players react to the game at North Leigh tonight. Couple of years ago, in a similar game at Kidlington, I was shocked at the behaviour of one senior player who was clearly disgruntled at the pitch/facilities etc and gave a performance where he gave no s...

CW interview re Beano.

Was interested to hear CW say that the situation had been discussed between himself, KT and &quotthe owner&quot. Good to know that IL is involved at this level and is endorsing the decisions of KT/CW. Backs up what has been said about the club not needing to sell, and underlines the commitme...
