    General Priorities for next year

    Regardless of the league we are in next year, we are in serious need of new faces in key positions next season. Naturally the league will dictate the level of quality we can bring in but we shouldn't neglect deficiencies we have had for the past few seasons. Goalkeeper - I have never rated...

    Manager/Coach Manager or Head Coach

    If KR were to depart, would it be an opportunity to redefine the roles of the management and coaching team? It has been clear that recruitment over the past transfer windows has been poor. Every window KR harps on that he is working day and night getting the right candidates and driving the...

    Transfer News Players on the watch list

    With the end of the season drawing closer, the search for additions next year should hopefully be in full swing. Naturally it is difficult to plan when you are pushing for promotion, but there should be some players out there considered despite the league we are in. One that springs to mind is...

    General What would be your OUFC 5 a-side team?

    A work distraction..... Who would make your OUFC 5 a-side team? 1) Turley (GK) - for pure entertainment. 2) Twinkletoes Beauchamp - has to be in any OUFC team. 3) Raponi - it would be a nutmeg masterclass by the Argentinian "show pony" 4) Roofe - guaranteed great goals 5) Lundstram - a...

    Club Song

    I have to say, I do like a good a club song belted out by all before kick off. If you ever visit Anfield, City, West Ham etc, it does stir emotion before kickoff. Is there a song that we have associated with over the years that could somehow be revived?

    General Replanning 2020

    With the recent departures, injuries and slump in form, the likelihood of promotion (at least automatically) is getting slimer. This could ultimately mean we struggle to keep hold of Dickie and Brannigan in the summer, the loanies return, and we end up with a skeleton squad again come the...

    General Scruffy Goals

    https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/17860288.oxford-united-boss-karl-robinson-wants-scruffy-goals/ In my opinion this is something we have suffered with under both Appleton and KR. Both want to play attractive football, which is great for the fans, however, we have struggled to revert to a more...

    Where do we go from here?

    With a couple more victories we should hopefully be safe for this season. But where do go from here with regards player recruitment? The last two seasons recruitment has been poor, and at the end of this season we will undoubtedly be left with a squad deplete of key players in almost every...

    How strong is the competition this year?

    I was looking through previous league one tables. I don't believe there will be a significant gap between the majority of teams this season. I would suspect Barnsley will be strong and perhaps walk away with it, but I dont think there is the same level of quality at the top as some seasons...

    Summer Signing Excitement

    What past summer signings really got people excited and itching for the season to start?! For me; Tommy Mooney - rejecting a new contract from Swindon :) to join us did help the excitement Manny Omoyimni - not sure why I was excited about this signing! His only real highlight before joining us...

    Set Plays

    After watching the world cup games, it shows that quality, well rehersed set pieces can be a real threat. England had clearly been working on these in training and it definitely paid dividends. What I dont understand is why league teams dont invest more time into set plays. League teams are...

    Sensible or naive

    http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/oxfordunited/16160966.Wigan_clash_is_now_a__free_hit___says_Oxford_United_boss_Karl_Robinson/ Is making changes and down playing the importance of the Wigan match sensible or naive from Robinson? I can't see 50 points being enough this season, and suspect 53...

    Any freebies on offer?

    It is evident that we are missing something upfront. It got me thinking whether there were any free agents worth bringing in until the end of the season? Probably not as a long term solution, but to provide something a bit different and competition for places in the forward line. I can't think...

    Squad next year

    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/oxford-united/kadernaechstesaison/verein/988 Looking at the contracted players for next season it is definitely clear we have taken a backward step from the crop we had under Appleton. There are some players with potential and a good age, however, with the...

    Line up based on current fit squad

    It’s clear that more incomings are unlikely based on Clotets comments. In my opinion the squad is at its weakest for a few years and will need to find a formula that works to secure the points for safety. Eastwood Tiendalli Dickie Mousinho Ricardinho Ledson Mowatt Brannagan Henry...
