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

    Unfortunately, when you keep the same team what after 15 mins destroyed Peterborough then the opposition head coach of the next supposedly 'lambs to the slaughter ' justs grills his side into how he/she expects us to play. Simple. Keep the other side guessing at all times with tweaks and...

    Home Match Day Thread 13/04/2024: L1: OUFC v Peterborough

    First and foremost - a superb team performance yesterday aided and abetted by a partisan home crowd. However, the top highlight for me (pardon me if it has already been mentioned) was a sublime piece of skill by McEachran leading to goal number four. With the ball just inside the opposing...

    EFL League 1 Final Day - 12.30pm Kick Off

    I went abroad straight after the Burton match only to be text by a mate today who told me that the tickets were all gone. As you can imagine I'm well pissed off as I've only missed 1 away game in 5 seasons and as we didn't sell out at Burton by around 400 I didn't think these would go by...

    Away Match Day Thread 06/04/2024: L1 Burton Albion v OUFC

    Fair play to the Burton fans on our R/H/S for the decent ovation given to Murphy's substitution. This was either in sheer bloody relief that he couldn't do any more damage once off - or they actually appreciated a player who's played well. I'm sure it was the latter and it must have been a first...

    Matches Top 6 Race 2023/24

    Totally agree. I know it's not much of a comparison but back in the late eighties the team I played for (decent standard) lost in a first round cup match disgracefully-but found we had been reinstated due to an eligible player and we then proceeded to the final with unadulterated ease. Not...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    That's because Harris isn't an authentic centre forward and never will be. Too many times he wipes his brow, blows out his cheeks and worries about the opposing centre half consistently when the ball is played into him. However, without Goodwin he is our only option and is ever only going to...

    Away Match Day Thread 29/03/24 - L1: Shrewsbury v OUFC

    The thought of going to Shrewsbury around Easter again is looking unfortunately, like a shoe in, only next time it will be with around 2 to 300 fans (unless we are top 2) as most people if we stay in this division again will start to find other things to do. I've now probably done this ground...

    Away Match Day Thread 16/03/24 - L1: Port Vale v OUFC

    Very odd being in the other end of Vale Pk today rather than the end we are usually kept in but it worked with a thoroughly professional performance. I still have reservations surrounding DB but the shift to 'let's attack from the off-ish' did pay dividends against a side who unfortunately...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I was wanting to ask this question all night at the forum and was politely waiting for the right time to ask this very question and then the time was up. Every time Des is interviewed he is programmed to say that we'll fight for every point and we'll see where that puts us at the end of the...

    Away Match Build Up 16/03/24 - L1: Port Vale v OUFC

    Ticket sales for Vale were around 460 at lunchtime today. Can't help feeling we would have taken well over 1000 on Saturday if we had taken just a single point on Tuesday. It shows just how emotive this bloody game is in terms of fans being in or out Dragons Den style. Ffs Saturday COYY'S

    Away Match Day Thread 12/03/24 - L1: Bolton Wanderers v OUFC

    On tonight's showing it seems that the players have stopped playing for Buckingham and the dressing room is lost. Buckingham's body language and bland footballesque answers from his interview on Sky and Radox left me painfully watching a broken man. The club needs to either hire him from...

    Away Match Day Thread 12/03/24 - L1: Bolton Wanderers v OUFC

    Absolutely p*ssed off tonight to be missing my first away game in three seasons due to a total mix up in work related issues and coupled with no sales on the night in Bolton. By 4.30 this afternoon we could have (but didn't) got away but it meant us purchasing tickets for 4 adults at lunchtime...

    General Club/Fan Problems in a Nutshell

    The atmosphere at the K*ssam has been f*cked for years. I'm in my sixties and even I've started to accept defeat in getting up from my seat and volleying a tirade of support and in equal measure any acceptable dog's abuse towards our learned friends to my right in the North Stand. I do...

    Away Match Day Thread 02/03/2024 L1: Portsmouth v OUFC

    Yesterday the Oxford fans were given a performance worthy of getting a result at a club who after 7 seasons of lge 1 football are on the brink of a return to the championship. Their 5 minutes of noise towards the end of the game was impressive - but I think it was the sheer relief from their...

    Away Match Build Up 02/03/2024 L1: Portsmouth v OUFC

    I also think the performance tomorrow will be better (surmounting to a defeat) but it's on hearing in my head Desmond stating afterwards in his interview that we still have 9/10 games (down from 18 a few weeks ago) to go and that we will go again next week against the much improved Cheltnum...

    Tickets Pompey Away - Tickets on Sale

    Thoroughly cheesed off by the clubs small time logic once again. The chuckle bros phrase 'to me to you' is all so very apt. Imagine the call to the pom poms ticket office - do you geezers want our 600 seats because we know as table toppers you may want to make more noise to help John's team move...

    Tickets Pompey Away - Tickets on Sale

    I know we have been poor and our fans have the right to say enough is enough but have we really had the chance to actually have enough tickets for this particular match? We were given 1400 tickets to sell with an apparent 600 extra to bring forward on selling out. However, somebody mentioned...

    He shoots because the crowd that are actually vocal and not sat on their hands requests that he does!

    Home Match Day Thread 13/02/2024 L1: OUFC v Wigan Athletic

    Tbf I'm still trying to work out what our playing style is under Desmond. Two home games ago we seemed to go for it 1st half and then revert 2nd half to trying to see out the game by sitting deep and lashing the ball just 10 yards from our penalty box and inviting more pressure than my shower...
