I appreciate football fans notoriously overrate their own players but I don’t understand the narrative that the majority of our players are top League 1 players. How many of them could play in the Championship? I’d say two - Cam and Tyler. You could name some others who could hold their own for...

That was a very impressive performance on the back of several very unimpressive performances. It was the first time we looked like we had a plan since Des arrived and, quite honestly, the first match I’ve watched since he took over that I have enjoyed for the whole 90 minutes. I never want to...

Just wanted to quickly say after last week against Barnsley that our throw ins were a million times better than Barnsley or even Bristol Rovers. Didn’t see the whole 90 yesterday but I think I only saw one or two throws that went backwards and were recycled to the centre backs. The rest were...

I think people can accept losing games; what people cannot accept is losing while playing such tedious football. We go to football in the hope it will make us jump out of our seats but that was as dull as ditchwater. How many times did the following happen during today’s game? The ball goes...

On the one hand, sitting in 5th place after 20 games is much higher than I expected when last season ended. As many have pointed out, you can’t turn around the unbalanced squad KR built in just one transfer window. It’s not Des’s fault that we don’t have a striker worthy of the name. It’s also...

Agreed. He went down in the 92nd minute with what looked like cramp for 20-30 seconds and then was subbed off a couple of minutes later. Hopefully, he did no further damage in that time although he had to walk around half the field to get to the bench and looked to be hobbling quite gingerly at...

Couldn’t agree more with Scotchegg. I assume the reason ODonkor’s performance was so sub-par today was that he was suffering from the illness that ravaged the squad and shouldn’t really have played. It seems Perkins may be injured so there was no one else. I haven’t seen every game this year but...

Sometimes I like to look at Paul’s old fans views to see what he has said about a particular referee in the past. I find it a pretty good barometer of how I’m likely to feel about a ref. Mr. Brook has only refereed us once before: Cheltenham at home on New Years Day last year. I’d like to be...

Many thoughts but like some others, the overwhelming one is why didn’t Tyler Smith come on at all? A proper striker who has scored goals in the Championship this season. He is snubbed game after game when we are dying for goals. And then when our one striker comes off, we bring on Bodin so we...

Highly frustrating performance today. Vale were there for the taking. They had just been tonked 3-0 at Accrington and were low on confidence (16 points from their last possible 60, I think), but we came out so risk adverse and unwilling to attack that we gave them confidence, leading to some of...

40 games in all competitions this season. - 4 clean sheets (3 at home - 2 in August against Cambridge and Orient in JPT and one in November against Port Vale, and 1 away at Sheffield Wednesday). - Only 12 games out of 40 where we have scored 2 or more goals in a game. 18 away games in all...

I’m pretty sure we have the exact same discussion about ifollow every EFL cup first round game, including from last season against Burton. The same down to the wording on the OUFC website: the club assumes the stream is available for international subscribers but it isn’t! It’s the exact same...

Sitting here incredibly frustrated as that game was so very winnable. Yet again we fail to take advantage of a one goal lead away from home. Rotherham’s confidence was low and they had lost 4 out of the last 5. Another goal would have finished them off and turned their crowd on them. Instead...

Deadline day has arrived! If you could prioritize which positions we need to strengthen in order of importance, what would it be? I would say LB, CB, ST and CDM in that order, so why, with Bodin coming into form, do I fear we will be deluged with more wingers?! Can’t wait to see what we end up...

Here is the LB we need - Sam Adekugbe. Plays in the Turkish League and has made the LB spot his own for Canada in the past year. Great engine, fantastic going forward and a really good defender too. I don’t think he would leave a top 6 side in Turkey for League One (he only joined them last...

Amazing game today. So many positives - Stevens back in goal, Taylor back in the goals, coming back from a goal down twice and KR showing we have a plan B, which, I hesitate to say, may suit the squad we have better than plan A and 4-3-3. Hope we see it again next Saturday but I won’t hold my...

Just a heads up for any other Oxford fans in Canada - tomorrow’s game is available on DAZN and is not available on ifollow. Given that there are only three games tomorrow in League 1, it may be that other overseas fans want to check whether ifollow is showing the video feed of the game or...

As others have said, the most disappointing thing about Tuesday for me (other than the result and performance) was KR’s seeming failure to learn anything from the 2-0 League defeat in March. We knew they would employ a high press and be strong at set pieces. Both goals in March came from...

Yes, this is correct. DAZN has the rights but are not showing it. I emailed and asked why and received a non-response so there is no way to watch at all. Frustrating.

Inconsolable. There was only one winner after we equalised and yet somehow we didn’t win. Chances galore - Henry’s choice to pass rather than shoot into the gaping corner, Dickie’s header and others - and then a crazy sequence of events: Browne would have been clean through had he chased after...
