    Away Match Build Up 18/03/23 L1: Morecambe v OUFC

    The Shrimps have had some very good home performances and results this season and some terrible ones. They held Bolton and Derby and beat Barnsley. I think you'll win this one courtesy of Manning having had a week to work with the team and the new manager effect. But I hoped they'd beat Charlton...

    Manager/Coach Next Manager

    I'm a little jaundiced because I backed MK Dons heavily ante-post this season. Yes, I knew they were selling two or three of their best players, including the outstanding Scott Twine, but it seemed good replacements were being signed. Perhaps a fall away from last season's form should have been...

    He seems to have turned most of the Oldham supporters against him. Dean Holden, David Unsworth; is there a contest going on for the most unlikely and unmerited candidate for the Oxford United job?

    Away Match Build Up 4/3/2023 L1: Lincoln City v OUFC

    Lincoln City are unbeaten at home but have drawn a remarkable thirteen of sixteen at Sincil Bank. It's all set for an Oxford United win.

    Sol Campbell? Five of us have! Damn, given myself away there. In all seriousness the fellow has been exceptionally unlucky in the two managerial posts he has had. I think he'd surprise people in a pleasant manner if given a chance at a stable club.

    I can understand Oxford United supporters having fond memories of Appleton but you're the only one of the seven clubs he's been at where he achieved any success.

    He might but I fear Dean Smith might have passed his peak.

    Next seasons odds

    Yes, that's my belief. I didn't have a lot of sympathy for them regarding the play-offs. I thought , with the squad they had, they should have won the league title. It is impossible to know where they'd have finished had the season been played out but I was still optimistic they'd have made top...

    Next seasons odds

    Big club or not (and they're not) they should have been Champions last season. They had the best squad in the division and a considerable amount of my money on them. With Ivan Toney and Mo Eisa up front and Marcus Maddison behind them there was no excuse for their inconsistency. The weakest link...

    That is indeed the poster I and most on RTG suspect of being Charlie.

    Transfer News Transfer window 2020/21

    When Donald and Methven "bought" the club I looked on here to see how they were regarded. I told my pals that Donald appeared to be quite highly thought of but that Methven was regarded as a bad joke. That Methven would start off fine but in due course would fall out with people and that he...

    Transfer News Transfer window 2020/21

    I presume you mean Will Grigg though he's just the most expensive of our recent flops. We're keeping him apparently and he's "determined to prove his worth" for all that means. Whether he's determined enough to actually move up here, as Parkinson has urged him to do, we shall see. I imagine you...

    Thank you for that. I presumed Henry was a striker by the number of goals he scored last season. It's even more impressive to have scored so many from midfield.

    Transfer News Transfer window 2020/21

    I read a post earlier suggesting you were short of strikers but with Taylor and Henry that doesn't appear to be so. You seem to be putting together a good squad. I might be a Sunderland supporter but my interest is whether you're a good bet for the coming season. Obviously 2019-20 was mucked up...
