    Current Player #11 Billy Bodin

    The right decision with the step up coming but wish him the best of luck. Always felt like he was underrated (same as Henry, maybe there's something about attacking players who lack pace?) and scored some brilliant goals for us, I remember a couple of crackers in one half against Bolton in a 3-2...

    Away Match Day Thread 18/05/2024: L1 Play-Off Final - Bolton vs Oxford

    Not sure if this has been replied to already but cheating in this context doesn't refer to diving etc but rather not tracking all the way back meaning they're already high up the pitch if we counter. Dale and Murphy work hard closing down defenders and passing options but don't necessarily...

    I thought Erhahon was fantastic when they beat us at ours recently. Reminded me of a much more physical and mobile version of McEachran.

    Transfer News Summer Transfer Preview

    Don't think you'll get many arguments that robustness is a must but I've also got more faith in how we'll manage players going forwards. Des sounded angry early in his tenure when Marcus Browne played and broke down again which lead to a review and Routledge being replaced. Since then Goodwin is...

    Not in the league but we could draw them in one of the early rounds of the FA Cup or the EFL Trophy. Oh wait...

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    Absolute nonsense. Manning was desperate to get rid of him and was willing for us to pay all his wages if someone would take him on loan just to free up another squad space. Murphy himself gave an interview to the national press a few weeks ago where he said how Manning had told him he didn't...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    Absolutely superb from Des today and I think he's been pretty much faultless since the drubbing at Bolton. He completely mullered Evatt tactically today, Harris did a great job stopping the out ball to Sheehan and after that they had no answers. What a turnaround. Really excited to see what he...

    Believe Baldock is off to Panathinaikos so we'd have some work to do to temp him to swap that for a Championship relegation/League One promotion battle.

    What's the parking situation likely to be at Parkway? Group of 4 going from Abingdon/Drayton area. Didcot a bit closer and can get a bus there, just requires a walk from Paddington to Marylebone. Parkway looks to be direct which is a bonus but no good if we can't park.

    Tickets Bolton Wanderers v OUFC Ticket Thread

    Not ticket related but what's the best plan for the train for a group of 4 from Abingdon/Drayton? Didcot is a fairly simple change but Ox Parkway direct, is the car park likely to fill up there though?

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I was delighted when we got Des and I've been very vocal about the lack of support he's had, especially early doors, but I also struggled to see a way back for him after the Bolton debacle. Massive credit to him for the turnaround since then, especially as the squad is still so thin in my...

    Away Match Day Thread 08/05/2024: L1 Play-Off SF 2nd Leg - Peterborough vs OUFC

    In all fairness even if it's a low head rather than a high foot, Brown got there first and the bloke caught him after. If he'd gone in with his foot and got caught it's a foul, why should it be different if he heads it?

    Away Match Day Thread 08/05/2024: L1 Play-Off SF 2nd Leg - Peterborough vs OUFC

    Most clubs have some clown supporters but Peterborough do seem particularly confident. I said before but they remind me of us when we were scoring loads of goals under Robinson, there's an arrogance there that because you play attacking football that you're better than everyone else, and if...

    That was a hell of a chance there, Bolton are wobbling.

    Current Player #25 Will Goodwin

    He looked pacey but apart from the odd flash here and there I don't think he looked good, I was always surprised so many people thought this. For every good run he'd have half an hour or more of anonymous play, shirking challenges and contributing nothing. Pace is fine but we don't need...

    Current Player #25 Will Goodwin

    Really weak argument this. How often does that happen? Of course it can but I'd suggest if you sign a player already carrying a pretty serious injury he's more likely to miss games than a healthy player happening to get a freak injury immediately. By that logic we should never sign anyone...
