UE: Oxford return to Setanta with the game screened ‘live and exclusive’ for those in Ireland – things could be worse

A post so good, I see you published it twice.:wink: Agree that since promotion a number of actions, both on and off the field, have made the club seem more distant from supporters. It is reasonable to accept that there would be more patience with the 'Wembley team' than that put out on Saturday. The...

UE: It is announced that Wilder will be assisting the England cricket team as a ‘squad rotation consultant’ for the Ashes tour.

Rotherham 3 Oxford 1 Le Fondre 2, Warne, Craddock 3200 (600) UE: A ‘perfect storm’ of events: Creighton scores the winner for Wrexham who also keep a clean-sheet. Midson scores the winner for Southend. Futcher is sent off. Mclean fails to score missing at least one chance from inside the six yard box.

Also the loan of Philliskirk, I'd hazard a guess was more about creating a link with Chelsea, rather than the actual player. Thought it was actually about doing the father and former team mate of Wilder a favour. Doubt that giving the lad only one sub appearance whilst he was here has worked much i...

Always try to understand, if not agree, is my philosophy on transfer decisions. For reference the Philliskirk loan is still the worst transfer in or out this season IMO. As I cannot understand what the merits of bringing in an unknown youngster for such a short period were when Woodley remained unte...

No not in Belgium or the Netherlands (isn't Holland just a region of the country?). Found it through idle curiosity - which is not the same as nosiness

Away from our current malaise, I notice this ex-player (well ex-reserve as he never actually played) is still looking for club. Article is in Dutch, so you’ll have to use translation software or ask Steve McClaren. Doesn’t say anything in particular about Oxford, just describes his time in England a...

UE: We concede more goals in the first half than the second.

Bradford 0 Oxford 0 10,700 (600) UE1: Peter Taylor is not at the match as he is about to join Fabio’s staff and put himself in pole position to be the next England manager. Most Bradford fans go home happy regardless of the result. We are however nervous about another ex-Wilder club looking for a ne...

UE: Having again lost from a two goal lead, Wilder refuses to answer questions and instead recites TS Eliot’s Choruses from the Rock.

UE: Woodley comes off the bench to score the winner. Everyone goes home buoyed by this new young hope. Sam who?

It is a fine line between clear standards for all and being so rigid as to stifle individuality. If Wilder only wants ‘perfect’ players who are young, fit, hungry and subservient to him with no previous bad history, he is going to find the talent pool very small. However LSD also has to learn that t...

Overall, I’m against any regionalisation. It is short-term cost saving at the expense of depleting long-term value. If there were to be regionalisation, I’d consider reorganising League 1 and 2 as Football League North and South not the Conference. An important difference between this and the old Th...
