    Home Match Day Thread 16/4/24 Oxford United v Lincoln City

    Yep, I suspect what Lincoln were tonight was a version they needed to be to win that game. We've lacked physicality for ages now. Goodwin was the exact profile we needed to go for, we just need to hope he's not broken. We also need the same sort of player in midfield like Erhahon. They rode...

    I thought that was a game of fine margins really. On Saturday, Peterborough played into our hands and everything we did came off. Tonight it didn't. I think Lincoln were clearly well organised and to score so early into the second half really set things up perfectly for them. I thought Erhahon...

    General Oxford Fanatics Reappearance - Missing Money

    I echo this. I know there is an important outstanding question around where previous donations have gone, but I trust @John Lennon to follow up on this when he can. John - you've made a great start to improve the communication with what you've said on here already, and the pre-match stuff vs...

    I can't put into words how much I enjoyed Saturday. The win was emphatic, but I loved the style of it as well. Ultimately we all want winning football, but if you gave me the choice, I'd pick winning a game with 30% possession where you cut through the opposition at pace, over having 70%...

    Oh don't get me wrong - I think you were right and I wouldn't expect you to backtrack. A lot of people said or thought the same, I know I did. I was probably a bit clumsy with my wording and I apologise if it looked like I was making a 'see, I told you it would be all ok' post. I wasn't. I...

    General League One Agent’s Fees

    I thought about this the other day when I saw Port Vale slump to another defeat. With Port Vale looking a real candidate for the drop, I do wonder of the impact of the pitch invasion match on their season. They went into the original fixture off the back of coming back 3 times against Charlton...

    To be fair, at one point in time he did look like an enormous waste of money. I don't think it's ever helpful to sing it at the player, but I can understand why people thought it. There was a lot of frustration boiling over back then due to the incompetence of Robinson and the senior management...

    MacDonald was the champion of the quick throw. I used to love seeing him rush to gather the ball up and then lob it behind a defender for someone like Hylton to tear after. It helped that he had a decent arm on him as well so could hoist it a good distance. Some players just have that instinct...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I know you have previously critiqued Buckingham's set ups for a lack of a plan (which I always thought was a fair point at the time) but it looks like a lot has moved on in that regard. I thought there were a couple of real standouts from Saturday where we had improved and everything looked...

    It's a shame Manning didn't fancy him either. Very pleased he's turned it around though, he deserved much better than what we gave him.

    I thought the pre-match balloons really got the crowd up for it.

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    If we're giving him a new contract then we need to get on with it. His value will soar when Southgate names him in the squad for the Euros.

    You're not wrong. Harris was immense today and gave Knight in particular an awful time. For the first half at least, as they then subbed him off. I watched Sparky leave a little on him a couple of times and give him some verbals. Pretty sure he had something to say to Steer after he scored the...

    There are so many positives to take from today but the one that has stuck with me is how good our press looked for the first two goals. We just waited for them to play back towards their own goal and everyone knew when and where to go, and we forced two mistakes. It happened repeatedly...
