It’s been a while.

Just wanted to wish you all a great day and hopefully the result you want. I still think back to that mad playoff spreadsheet a couple of seasons back.

No doubt the Championship is a step up mainly in terms of depth of squad and physicality of players. That said we didn’t look out of place until Schuey took the pottery shilling and you have a coach a few won our site mentioned as a potential successor. Don’t worry. I think we are going a different way!

So go well and hopefully we you next season

Your old green friend

I finally got to sleep some time after 4, woke at 7.

2010 shirt on (and a few other articles of clothing), going with friends on the Aziz coach.

I've seen us five times at Wembley...3-0 in 86, 3-1 in 2010, so 3-2 it is today (JPT finals don't count, and nor does the Covid one).

COYYs.....we can do this!

Also true but you get a whole pre-season to prepare rather than a week and a half.



Des and Moore have been discussing it:

U’s boss and skipper have say on use of VAR this afternoon

OXFORD United’s players and staff will be mindful of the use of VAR in their Sky Bet League One play-off final against Bolton Wanderers.

Dilla was correcting me about it being introduced full time in the Championship next season - that doesn't seem to be the case.

EDIT: Never mind, this thread is moving too quickly for me!
 
Spare ticket. Anyone can have it (cost £40, will obv accept far less ). Would rather it goes to a fan than empty. DM me. Can email it or meet at stadium.
 
Got my daughter’s swimming lesson in a bit, then four of us will be London-bound.

Trying to tell myself to not be nervous. To enjoy the day. That we’re underdogs. That it’s been a successful season and we have lots to look forward to regardless of the result. Not sure it’s helping. I still feel sick! 🤣

Enjoy the day Yellows! 💛💙
 
2 tickets behind the goal block 132 (beside each other) lower tier £50 for the pair. Will have them on me. Message if interested.
 
I expect us to lose, but not in an ‘urgh, we’re so rubbish’ way, more in a ‘trying not to get too excited’ way.

They are a superb football team and we are the under-dogs. We finished well behind them in the league.

That said, we were under-dogs for the Peterborough games, and under-dogs to get in the play-offs on the final day against Exeter.

We’ve got lots of recent experience of coming through these massive tests. Have Bolton?

Plus ten days to prepare, a just about fully fit squad, 30k to support them at Wembley…

Expecting and dreaming are so very different, aren’t they?!

COYY


EDIT: Of course I’m excited. So excited! What I mean is I want to avoid the bitter disappointment of potential loss, so am preparing for the worst while hoping for the best 💪
