My first game as a season ticket holder since 15/16 season so I thought I'd start this one.

Going for a hard fought 2-1 with Dickie and Taylor scoring, 20+ shots.
 
3-0 to the mighty yellows with Matty Taylor getting the third...

UTM!
 
Or maybe Mackie to start Taylor coming on midway through second half
 
I'd swap Henry for Mous and go for two deep lying play makers. We'd be rock solid at the back that way.
 
All those doubters and posters who made snidey remarks about the board and personally attacked tiger got it wrong. Are they big enough to publicly put their hand up and apologise in the same way they publicly criticised?
Now it’s up to KR and the team to continue to put the performances in and keep the standards high. Can’t wait for this season to unfold.

3-1 win.

Henry, woodburn, Taylor.
 
Burton a well organised side under Nigel Clough, but now we have a lot more to throw at them than against the ten men at their place last season. Matt Taylor on from the start and hit them fast. when were 3-1 up bring on the Mackie to see the game out in his own way. Gorrin needs to watch these bookings which are building a bit too rapidly for me.

First game of the season for me tonight. Yesterday’s signings have left me feeling quite excited about the seasons prospects. Burton are no pushovers but I am hoping for three points.
 
The Burton forum makes interesting reading...looks like we're gaining a reputation of being a horrible team to play against..constantly fouling and breaking up play.

Strange when this is one of the best footballing teams I've seen us put together in recent memory.

I'm maybe somebody this is aimed at.

I acknowledge that a very competitive squad has been assembled without spending silly money. I applaud that a number of players have decent resell value with a few more who could also develop into players we could sell for fees later on down the line. I admire KR's resolve and determination thus far. Long may it continue!

However, it has taken 18months of Tiger's reign to get here. Mistakes were made which supporters were absolutely right to call out. The PR & Comms with the fanbase (both in general and with OxVox) have been poor. A lot of question marks remain around our financial position (who do we owe debt to and on what basis?). And the stadium question remains unanswered.

I'm loving the current on-field situation but remaining vigilant concerning off-field matters.
