Oxford fans and the ticketing process

If you go down once and they're Cumming, it's job done. Ithankyou.

Back when he was first left out, BBC Oxford did ask and apparently it was because "other players were ahead of him based on performances in training". I'd assume that would be the answer now too. That could be cover up for disciplinary issues, or personal issues, or perhaps Buckingham just...

Lager top.

Keep in mind Brannagan is one of the top paid players in League One, I think if you're willing to pay championship wages you'd expect ability and robustness. Ultimately if you splash the cash you've got the best chance of having a winning team - nothing in football is more certain than this...

Plus, he could direct those with concerns about the proposed stadium to the planning portal so they can highlight their concerns directly and accurately. A bit like FoSB claiming 600 supporters, it smacks of trying to boost numbers based on a "silent" majority. Who have no need to be silent...

summary of the fosb objections via chatgpt. Nothing new here, just more words than usual from the bingo card The Friends of Stratfield Brake (FoSB), a community action group opposing Oxford United's proposal to build a football stadium on the Green Belt site of Stratfield Brake Sports Ground in...

You know how this works.... the players did themselves a massive favour by brilliantly beating Peterboro 5-0, despite Des. It's just such a shame Des let them down by losing and drawing the next 2 games. What more can we ask of the players?

It's definitely not a bottle job, if we don't make the play-offs it will be a "not good enough" job. Sky showed a stat at one point on Friday that showed we'd not beaten any top half League one side at home other than Peterborough. So our draw against Stevenage was entirely in keeping with that...

One game to decide if Des is any good? So a very lucky 1-0 win against a tired (3 games in 6 days) Peterborough and you'll be onboard the Des bus? I doubt it somehow.

I don't understand why a few supporters are seeing where we end up this season before they make a decision on the Manager, it seems a bit cowardly. We know where we're going to end up, either just in the play-offs or just outside the play-offs. There might be 1 point or even goal difference in...

There is nothing more certain in life than older people complaining about how much better things were back in their day. Although those in the 80s might struggle to identify a "better". It's an unanswerable entirely subjective question. Fans who grew up at watching at the Manor (I include...

Obviously I'm not billionaire businessman, so I wonder what their plan is to make money (or even break even) on the whole Oxford project is. I assume it's to get the club to the championship, build the new stadium and then a new buyer would pay off the debts + some extra. Either way, the debt...

I heard that Brown wedgies Goodrham every day, even before games in the dressing room. I don't believe this at all, because it isn't true, but I do think it's shocking that Buckingham allows this to happen. He probably even laughs. This laughter is why we won't get promoted.

I know, but as I said - if you managed them differently/better (i.e. not play Browne every game, like he did at the start of the season) - you might get better availability from them

Football moves on, times change. Happy might be an exaggeration, but I can see a player "accepting" his position on the bench, if the alternative is playing 2 divisions below. Rugby considers their replacements as "finishers", nothing stopping the club trying something to gain an advantage.

With 5 subs though, I think there could be a role for a player or two who can be managed through the season in terms of fitness. If you accept that you'd always subsitute all 3 attacking players every game, then I think you need 3 players for each of those positions to cover for inevitable...

Just so I'm clear here, because I don't think you've said it before - you don't like Des?

Owen Dale - 124 apps (91 subs) in 6 seasons (he's 1 year younger than Browne/Edwards). So very similar stats to Murphy in terms of appearances. You don't actually want a squad full of players who want/expect to be starters all the time, otherwise you'll quickly be left with some problems in the...

I'm not sure about your stats - how many 16/17/18 years olds play regular league football? Call it 7 seasons and you're being fairer. On soccerbase, these are there appearance stats. Browne - 93 appearances plus 44 subs = 137 games he's been selected. So approximately 20 games a season he's...
