Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake
Not sure of the answer to that, Bob, but I have a related question - does anyone know why this is a lease of the land and not (as I had thought was going to be the case) the sale of the land?

Re: "Rolls Royce" performance
Well that was most impressive today. Granted, Barnsley were nowhere near as good as I expected them to be, and granted we got the run of the ball and rode our luck at times. Barnsley had two good chances to equalise and fluffed their lines, but equally we might’ve been 3-0 up by half-time. In essenc...

Re: "Rolls Royce" performance
Still need a further striker and left back though (we're one defensive injury away from having to re-jig the entire back line). Yup, that's the big caveat currently. But it's a nice position in which to find ourselves with a chunk of the window still to go, and owners at the helm who seem to be bac...
Re: Signings
Agree with all of that.
Anyone from this board planning on going to Barnsley?

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 ...
