Agree that Twigg does not win anything in the air but he has other qualities. To say we played poorly is way OTT IMHO. I thought we played more passes on the deck than other games so far this season &amp we had movement. Our second goal was really well worked. Agree that Pettefer was our best p...

Well, not really. How much time do you think they have?

I'm not saying the journalist is lazy. Just that it's 'lazy journalism'.

Well I don't know where all this optimism has come from. I thought we played pretty poorly on Sunday. We played a hell of a lot of long balls - all straight up through the middle, even though Twigg didn't win a single header all afternoon. Nor did he seem able to hold the ball up, meaning it kept co...

Aargh! You've just jinxed my favourite player, you swine. At least in the past you've gone for ineffectual locals (eg Jamie Cook) or fringe players. If you mess up Eddie's season the team's really had it, I tell you...

I also made a last minute decision to take the broadband option, which was relatively inexpensive and pain free. And the picture was better than I expected, even in full screen mode. I'm pretty sure that in 23 years of supporting the U's, last night was the first time I've ever watched a live match ...

Are you aware of this ? The issue rather than the petition, I mean.

Think it only applies to the top 4 divisions, but you never know we might get back there one day...[/url]

So, 90 minutes into the season and the Duffy debate rages already. Not that I was there, so I won't comment on that. One thing that sounded pretty alarming from the radio commentary was our inability to score goals. Four of our five forwards were given a decent chunk of the game, and none of them co...

Only just seen this thread but I emailed Chris Williams about radio coverage when I saw the story yesterday morning and he replied very quickly to say that BOTH radio stations will be commentating live on games. I wonder how many other Conference teams will be the subject of regular live commentary...

Presumably the argument for Gilchrist is that he brings his experience and leadership - but I never saw any great evidence that he actually did much to organise, marshall and lead the defence (or the team as a whole) - unlike, say, Andy Crosby. As with Crosby, I think the back line tends to be much...

I flicked through the football chapter in his autobiography in a discount bookshop recently to see if we got a mention but couldn't find one. It did say that he played for Oxfordshire schoolboys though. He did say he played for us on Desert Island Discs a few years back, though. Or maybe Sue Lawley...
