Another comment of their forum.


We were outclassed by a really good team tonight, we did play well but to our maximum ability,

Ah but he did 'tinker' for the Crewe game and we won 6 0.
Ruffels and Lee came into the team. Did you disagree with those changes?

How many times did he say it didn't feel like a 4-1? I agree it felt like a 6-1, think he needs to re watch the game as he must have been half asleep.

Saturdays games are v interesting:

Charlton v Ipswich
Blackpool v Sunderland

If we can get another win...

Also, it’s the weedy w****r vs the muscles from brussels (Barton v Appleton).

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Ipswich look a busted flush and Charlton are having a renaissance under Nigel Adkins.

Fancy Blackpool to turn over the Mackems.

That would be nice it might just shut the plastic Geordies up

FA cup. January 1985, you should know that Mr. Knee.

Knew I'd made an up-cock as soon as i read it back, just seemed like we only played in the League cup in those day's, so many great nights at the Manor.
Broke my heart. what a pair Hamilton and Aldridge. From memory I think they'd both scored about 18 goals in about 21 games.
I'm hedging my bets because I've been wrong once before.

We've got crucial players back, like Long an Ruffs and performing well and we have other influential players who are really hitting their stride (Henry, Barker v Crewe, Cam Bran, Sykes, Taylor, Lee) and Atkinson and Moore continue to look imperious.

And all that without Gorrin who I've always thought was integral to our best performances.

We have a first 11 as good as any in this league...long may we continue to be able to start them each game!

I forgot about Gorrin, would he get back in the team at this precise time.

Radio Oxford don't have replays. I didn't see it first time.

They do, download bbc sounds app, sorted!!

Not at the moment.

Agree with all you say but let's not forget that several are loanees and Sykes and Ruffels have yet to sign new contracts.

The club have a year's option on Sykes.

 

[westyorkshireexile]

The club have a year's option on Sykes.

Not sure how options work, does it need agreement from both parties as last I heard, Sykes was reluctant to sign.

According to Rad Ox tonight, the club have to tell him by a certain date if they are taking the contract option up so wouldn't need him to sign as such. Can't remember who said it but they sounded very confident about that. We did it back in the day for Liam Sercombe, who was going after falling out with MApp which meant we got a transfer fee when he went to Bristol Rovers.

Let's hope he signs, has come on leaps and bounds the last few matches. Sercombe was a sad loss, must have been one of our most prolific goalscorers as a midfielder on a goals to match ratio.
