This is such a good point - I drove from Summertown to Cowley Road today and yet again found myself seething at the OX2 posse swanning around the wide avenues. why not LTN all of the cross routes between Woodstock and Banbury Road like OX4?

Marlow?

Why do players have to be treated like fragile prima donnas? if they respect the club, fans and management it should work both ways. Do you work?

I'm not sure it is a good idea but might bring home a few realities... None of us are football experts with perhaps the exception of a few on here, but my god we're all passionate no matter how misguided some views are. I do feel sorry for Des after sleeping on it, for whatever reason it is just...

I would have them in, in a class room, they're acting like children after all. I'd actually as them to read this forum - it would be an reality check and perhaps they'd understand one or two things

I think we're in a crisis. The players seem to be confused or as others say given up/not playing for the manager, I think senior voices should be heard if they want to continue representing Oxford United. Des is on 1 point per game with a squad so heavily backed by the owners.

Owen Dale who has only just joined, but is the one facing the music with the media, and apologising, it shows good character. Where was the Captain and other senior pros?

He just said in his interview with Radio Oxford something about 'Coming to teams like these' WE WERE ABOVE BOLTON when he arrived

I would hate to be an Oxford defender at the moment. They are all asked to start attacks as the midfield certainly don't

I don't think Brown isn't s**t. He is a basic defender and a good one at that, he IS not made for receiving the ball endlessly and creating attacks with little passes - which is what he asked to do time and time again. He is the wrong player to be asked to play like that

I'm sure some people on this board must know Des, what the hell has happened since November? I don't give a f**K about injuries or being understanding, the 'style' or whatever has become non existent, my god its depressing stuff

This is a shocking display so far. I'm still behind Des, but he needs to pull something out of the hat here. The players look so confused and slow Rodrigues is beginning to really get on my wick.

We have many reasons all mainly laid out above, I would also underline the aging fanbase. Lots of singers are no scattered across the SSU ( I've noticed) and the tremendous work done by the ultras which the highpoint was the banner at home to Swindon has been completely undone and a generation...

I'm not looking forward to an onslaught down our right side all evening, but sure Sam Long in prepared. Fingers crossed we click a bit and get a win
