I will never forget the game in what is now The Championship when Ricky Otto ripped us to shreds at their place. 4-0 at half-time, 6-1 at the end. Quite a large Oxford following there to witness it as well.I remember United losing a Cup match 3-0 some years ago at Roots Hall. Completely outclassed and lucky to keep it at 3-0. Times change quite quickly.. There might soon be 3 divisions separating us.
6-1 it was, October 93' - August '96 we beat them 5-0 at home.I was there for a 6-0 or maybe 6-1 drubbing. The next day I was having a Sunday lunchtime pint in my local and who should walk in but Malcolm Crosby, assistant to Dennis Smith at the time. Plucking up courage I gave him a few thoughts on the game, his reaction was to ask if I was at the game? It took the wind out of his sails when I said I was.
How circumstances change in football
I believe this was the game SteMerritt is refering to above so maybe 5-1
Nope, typo on my part, was 6-1. In a complete contrast to that disaster, we were away to Forest the following midweek and managed to grind out a 0-0, biggest contrast in 4 days I can remember seeing.I believe this was the game SteMerritt is refering to above so maybe 5-1
We were a truly terrible that day at Yeovil (Leo Roget, Terry Parker, Julian Alsop, Rob Wolleaston, etc) - another depressing long drive. Odd things that you remember - Jamie Hand played for us on loan from Watford. He was as bad as the rest.I’m sure we lost to Yeovil 6-1 away and then Southend 4-0 away in consecutive games… I was at both and remember thinking that football probably wasn’t for me [emoji1787]

Wasn't @Scotchegg defending the indefensible was it?I got into a big argument with another Oxford fan at that game after I let the players know of my disappointment at their performance at a set piece and he took offence at my telling the players such.
