Re: OUFC Youth - Where are they now
Max Harris expected to return to Cheltenham Town. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-oxford-united-goalkeeper-max-8480782 Saw him play on Saturday for them in a pre-season friendly at Weston-super-Mare. There was another Oxford fan there too, as I saw their sh...

Re: Where are they now?
Gary Waddock appointed assistant coach at Walsall. What a weird time that was when he was at Ox - I think I’ve had holidays that lasted longer than his tenure.
Signings
Not a dickie bird on here about three excellent signings this week? Come on, folks... Ruben Rodrigues, Jordan Thorniley and Josh McEachran are a big statement of intent, I think we've done really well there. Combined with some of the talent we've already got, and with Manning's pragmatic approach, I...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake
I wonder whether we'd consider going down the road of a fans' bond like AFC Wimbledon did to get themselves back to Plough Lane - the club get to borrow at an interest rate that's slightly below market rate, and fans get to invest savings at a rate that's better than any high-street account. Everyon...

Re: ST renewals
My days of having a ST are long gone due to geography and family factors, but the pricing struck me as reasonable enough for Third Division football in this day and age. Less convinced by the awful "What is your why" strapline which is sub-Apprentice levels of marketing b*llocks.

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake
So, Kidlington residents voted two-to-one AGAINST the stadium proposition . Non-binding vote, low turnout, little time for debate and information - but that's local politics for you, and I would argue that those crying foul about the poll or trying to spin that the non-voters are sympathetic to the ...
Re: Retained
Agree with Bob - I’m sure there will be plenty for whom we’ll try to find a new home somewhere.
You don’t tend to see or hear of players being “transfer listed” these days, do you? Was there ever an actual real transfer list that got circulated every week? Is that still a thing‽

Re: Going down?
I’ve not seen anything like as much of Oxford this season as I’d have liked, but I was there today and it felt like a damning summary of our year. Some luscious football in the first half but an inability to kill the game off. After half-time, Accy probed a bit more and it felt almost inevitable tha...

Re: Going down?
Agree with that, Isaac - with the added thought that the smart move might be for Manning to use the backdrop of modest expectations and an experienced squad who he can get a tune from to bring through more of the promising crop of young players rather than improving other teams' youngsters for them ...

Re: Going down?
Phew. We did it. I am reminded of that passage in The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro about “La Salvezza”: the beatific state reached at the end of the season by an exhausted and desperate club that narrowly escapes relegation. Fair play to Liam Manning. He’s come in, inheriting a basket-case, made us h...

Re: Going down?
Well the world feels a bit brighter today. Win one out of the next two and we really ought to be fine - and frankly, if we can't beat two teams below us then we won't have deserved to stay up. Great to see Tyler Goodrham getting the opening goal , and I loved his puppy-like enthusiasm in his RadOx i...

Going down?
For me, although the result was an adverse one yesterday, it wasn’t surprising - I didn’t expect us to get anything against Bolton. What was more problematic was the manner of it: so many chances but nothing to show for it. We can grumble about the lack of a red card for the challenge by their ‘keep...

Re: Posh point proves potential progress
Barely seems worth starting a new thread for the draw at Vale. For me, it's a point gained, and a welcome clean sheet. Manning has - rightly, in my view - decided to just make us hard to beat, and if we can nick a win then that's a bonus. Given the bin fire he inherited, I don't blame him. First we ...
