Up the football league we go...

Another cracking win yesterday. I wasn't there, Jerome, but three points away to one of the only sides in the league who have resources approximating ours is a good result. Granted, it was probably a good time to play them after their cup exigencies of midweek, but we wouldn't have won that game dur...

Re: who cares?

And isnt ITV's coverage pathetic? The adverts ruin any feeling of engagement, and the highlights look like they're filmed on something they bought from Currys. Indeed. Adverts are a necessary evil, but frankly the money they get from advertisers should pay for good-quality coverage and erudite and ...

Re: who cares?

BIt sad that no one wants to comment about our big FA cup game. Maybe it is time to close this board. Two thoughts: Is the lack of interest specifically from Oxford fans due to apathy towards yesterday's game? None of us were really expecting to beat Sheffield United, and even if we had done it wou...

Re: Happy New Year

Agree with KY what is going on with the atmosphere at the moment just under 7000 fans in, decent away support and we could barely muster a response to their winding up chants let alone anything to try and get the team going. The away support at Wimbledon was pants, too. I was in the home stand, and...

Re: Managerial Merry-go-round

Just my little joke. Probably should have flagged it up as such, really. Thanks for the review of the literature - interesting reading, and a useful counterpoint to all the &quotchange everything as soon as we have so much as a bad 20-minute spell in a game&quot idiots who seem to dominate 6...

Re: Can I just say...

Absolutely agree with that. There are enough IT people on here to defend their vocation, but seems to me that it is a prime example of an &quotupgrade&quot that probably makes wonderful use of Ruby and Rails version 4.3.1 integrating Python and Gem in an interactive OOPs something or other ...

Re: (Not so) Great Expectations

Marsh was given a professional contract (I assume) and can't play in YT games anymore. So he is a squad player that has hardly been used. There are potentially a couple more who could be in the accelerator squad Although it's worth adding that he didn't set the world alight last night in the Tin-Po...

I suspect what I am about to say will demonstrate that I've been 'had' by a troll, but here goes... THESE OUFC SO CALLED PLAYERS They are players. They're not just &quotso-called players&quot. People using &quotso-called&quot in a misguided attempt at rhetoric are pretty much always ...

Re: Turkey

I thought Heslop played far too negatively most of the time, his first instinct seemed to always be to pass the ball backwards. That's completely unfair, and a gross misrepresentation. I'd have expected better from you. His first instinct was to pass it sideways . It was like watching Martin Gray c...

Re: Relegation Squad - then vrs now?

I agree with Dan, actually. The team worked well as a unit - more than just the sum of its parts. For me, Wilder's worst &quottinkerman&quot instincts saw players like Midson, Creighton, Green and Clist forced out when I think they could have done very well at this level if given time to do ...

Wright was our best player on the night by a distance and without him, the scoreline could easily have been a real car crash.

Re: Time, gentleman, please

Surely if we've learnt one thing from the last 15 years, it's that the only way to find a manager is through a proper recruitment process - advertising the job and carrying out a thorough interview process. Not 'lining someone up', especially as I don't have faith that anyone at board level at the ...
