Re: Contracts
Yes I'd hope we keep the youngsters who have played in the first team this season - Bevans and Long. I haven't seen anything of the others (Lee, Shama etc) to know if they merit retaining
Re: Contracts
Well if that side yesterday were "playing for their careers" I think one or two may be a little disappointed!
The rage on Waddock's face during his post match interview on the FL Show was the best thing about yesterday ...

I thought his head was going to explode!

Re: Contracts
At least the manager appears to give a damn about the club. I know he's had a crap run of games, but I think we've got to give him the chance to go out and make some changes to the squad before we write him off.Hog wrote:Well if that side yesterday were "playing for their careers" I think one or two may be a little disappointed!

Most of Hog's list I am close enough for jazz, but on the youngsters I've got to say that Ruffels looked the business against Championshop Charlton, and Bevans looks great going forward but is hopeless at his defensive positioning - still young enough to retrain as a midfielder/winger? O'Dowda doesn't seem to be quite sharp enough for League Two - a striker that young should be darting behind defenders, not getting surrounded and then muscled off the ball.

He looks angry and frustrated. Just how I feel, except I'm not being well-paid to make it otherwise.Hog wrote:The rage on Waddock's face during his post match interview on the FL Show was the best thing about yesterday ...

Develeopment squad announcements made:
New offers to BEvans, Long, Shama & Hawtin, while Lynn and Lee are released.
For info, Hawtin is a right winger, in the same age group as Long, Lynn & O'dowda, who was given an extended scholarship this season, as he lost the previous one through injury. However, he soon became a regular fixture in teh Dev side, and didnt play for the youths after October, so basically became seen as a dev player, hence why his future was announced today rather than with the scholars last week.
I would imagine that we will see one or more external players added to the Dev squad for the coming season, and will add their details when I have them.
I've updated teh squad list at the top

Re: Contracts
Today has seen the offer of a New(ey) contract. Not sure I would have made the same call if I was in Waddock's shoes - but it may be reduced terms as a backup etc etc.
I wonder when we'll see the first of the new arrivals? July, probably, if previous years are anything by which to go...

Re: Contracts
Maybe the mythical 'Jon Meades' will be first choice left back?

I'm sure I have memories from the recent past of earlier signings than that also, Purkiss in the week after the play off final springs to mind.
Re: Contracts
It's not seeming like much of a clear-out then. Rigg, Davies and Smalley are all pretty much fringe players now, so no surprise to see them released. WIlliams is the big loss.

True but that was outside of Waddock's control given Williams' desire to play at a higher levelJimski wrote:It's not seeming like much of a clear-out then. Rigg, Davies and Smalley are all pretty much fringe players now, so no surprise to see them released. WIlliams is the big loss.
Re: Contracts
Doesn't sound to me that it was actually Waddock's decision to offer Beano or a new deal! And it makes you wonder what the deal actually is!

Re: Contracts
Yeah, slightly odd comments from Waddock there.
Re: Contracts
A COMPLETE DISGRACE , POTTER WRIGHT AND CONSTABLE ARE BEING GIVEN ANOTHER YEAR TO SHOW FANS JUST HOW USELESS THEY ARE A WASTE OF THREE CONTRACTS, GET RID OF THEM GW IT WILL BE THE FINEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO FOR OXFORD UNITED .
I WOULD CALL THE THREE OF THEM USELESS BUT TO CALL THESE THREE SO CALLED PLAYERS USELESS WOULD BE TO PRAISE THEM UP .

You will never know as by now Mick Brown probably has a shredder where all the pre-contract hand written discussion notes are disposed of.
