Re: What happens now?!?
I haven't seen many games this season, but it strikes me that we've foregone our slightly gung-ho, 'just score more than the opposition' approach of recent seasons in an effort to tighten up defensively. This has worked up to a point - we don't concede many now, but our own scoring has dried up and ...

Re: Tumbleweed
Is there anything we can do to revive it? Post more often? 8) I'll admit I got a bit bored trying to keep this place alive over the last couple of years, and stopped checking it at all recently. Will start posting again with my views on games if I remember, but it takes a few more people to do like...

Re: Falling foul of Franchise
I didn't see Saturday's game but I did go to Plymouth last week and what I saw was very depressing. I guess positives could be taken from the fact that we are not conceding many when under the cosh (it was quite an achievement to get to half-time at Home Park goalless), and we had a glorious chance ...
Re: Fixtures
Well I'm excited about having two Devon clubs in our league again. Shame both Argyle games are midweek (likewise Pompey). Hoping to get to Pride Park on opening day - a ground the Us have never visited, though I did go there once with a mate for a Monday night 0-0 draw between Derby and West Ham. Lo...

Re: Blown it (probably)
Brannagan, Baldock and Browne would transform this team. The fact they are not there is partly bad luck, partly a risky recruitment strategy. It was also bad luck that we had to play a poor team in conditions that were a massive leveller at this stage of the season. But the defensive omnishambles is...

Trial by Argyle
That was a disappointing game. The first half was fairly even, though we had the better chances, and should have had a penalty (that's a fact, not an embittered loser's opinion). However, the second half was men against boys. Particularly disappointing as we needed the win - a draw would have suited...

Re: Where will we finish?
My final table: Rotherham 106 Wigan 106 MK Dons 97 There is no way on earth that two teams will finish on 106 points, with a third on 97. It won't happen. Isaac's link has Rotherham finishing top on 95, though that is probably a little conservative. Anyway, this has the potential to be the most aut...
Joey
On the train on the way back from one of the all-time great away days when I heard the devastating news. So much about the man’s career was tragic on a personal level, yet he gave Us fans such magical moments. Truly honoured to have seen him performing such mercurial feats on a football pitch, and t...

Re: Pompey Crimes
Are we good enough to win the play -offs ? I think we can up our game this time in front of a crowd. Still a lot of games to go but we don’t have to play any top 6 for a few weeks at least. Please don’t drop points unnecessarily. At least three of the current top nine are going to miss out on the p...

Four pens worth
Surprised there hasn't been a bit more fuss about this nationally, especially on a weekend when there were no PL matches:

Surely it's never been done before, has it?

Re: Sheff special
Also Sam Winall has finally hit the net this season, OK it's just one, but might be a tough decision to shift him out on loan right now after that. Shortly after Winnall came on, I remarked that it was the first time I had seen him play where he had not given away a free-kick before touching the ba...

Sheff special
The forum's back! The weekend seems a long time ago now, but here goes: Doing the double over a team that must have the biggest budget in the division is a fine achievement, but that was a strange game of football. We looked completely lost for the first quarter of the match - no discernible game pl...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake
I'm just secretly hoping that sticking an ice rink on the plans is a cunning way of building the community sports hub plus retail/leisure at SB, but ending up with the Oxpens site for the stadium when Cherwell and the local residents object to a football ground in their back yard. But I know that's...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake
I'm a bit more positive than you, KY. You're right that there aren't any great pubs near the new site, but frankly there aren't any good ones near where we've been for the last 21 years either! But at least we can all have a few drinks in Kidlington and walk over or in the city centre and get a tra...

Re: (Water) Eton Rifles
Not really sure why this thread is headlined Water E(a)ton? That was a previous proposal. Anyway, it's not conjecture any more: https://www.oufc.co.uk/news/2022/january/stadium-position-statement/ Good that something is finally out in the open. I still can't get too excited until it gets a bit furth...
