I know others will be in for him, and Swansea had a bid turned down in January. But a make weight in a deal for Ethan Galbraith would do.
Did I say we should sell Moore ? I was just answering Bicester Yellows post.
Isn’t Galbraith out of contract? Sure I saw that somewhere.

They wouldn’t have turned down Swansea’s
Bid in January, if they didn’t have a option back up.

Or they saw this as their best chance of promotion, and were not willing to sell arguably their best player, while it was still a possibility.

Been away for a few days, Good result at Hillsborough. and delighted that it's looking likely that we stay up.
Still wouldn't want to watch Rowettball next season.

I wasn't aware you were being forced, that must be awful.

The good news is that the club are likely to sell out of STs and most games next season.
If you don't like what you are watching ( I expect that most are loving us winning far more home games than we lose in the Championship), then others are likely to want to take your tickets.

Here he is!!!! Welcome back Chromey!
I bet that result sticks in your throat, doesn't it?? I can't wait for RowettBall next year.
The scum are looking for a few more bums on seats for next year, perhaps you can get on board with the circus and Olly at the wheel? Liquid football i hear...it'll be right up your alley!

When did we turn into a forum when we jump all over someone for voicing an opinion that goes against the grain?

When that person is so blinkered, and obtuse and not able to see the clear improvement in the results. You know, when everyone is pulling in the same direction to get us over the line, and even today, they have come back and STILL had another dig at Rowett. It is extremely tiresome and unwarranted.
You reap what you sow.
If he doesn't want to watch Rowett Ball next year then hopefully he finds happiness watching an alternative football team
Beat me to it.

Yeah, feels a bit like bullying tbh. Especially all the jumping on. Not as if there was any rudeness in the other direction.

What a charming reception I’m getting!
And Old @Colin B wonders why he’s not as popular around the place as he used to be. Perhaps it was behaviour like that to fellow supporters.
up against the wall and scoring the majority of your few goals from long throws feels exciting in the first season back in the second division after 25 years. I don’t think it will feel the same in the 2nd 3rd and 4 th season back in division 2.
Rowettball is terrible to watch. But as oxblogger said I don’t think Rowett has got what it takes to build a team. He’s a short term merchant who was brought in to do a job.
I’m very grateful that he’s done the job he was brought in to do but I don’t see why I should pretend that it’s fantastic football to watch or that it’s good for the club in the long term.

Yeah, hopefully if we stay up, he can develop the style a little. Supposedly his Derby team was pretty attacking (though I can't say I remember it first-hand), so there is seemingly a precedent.

I agree that people on here should keep it civil.
But that is where the agreement ends I'm afraid, Rowett is doing the best he can with a terrible squad for this level, he's already shown he can turn a club into a permanent fixture in the Championship with Millwall.
Do I think it will ever be the most attractive football out there? Absolutely not.
Do I think we have anywhere near the budget to be playing that sort of football at this level? Again, absolutely not.
I want to watch Championship football, for that, I'm willing to accept that against some teams we will need to adopt a more pragmatic style of football in order to compete.
If you're not, there are thousands willing to take your place bud.

No? How would you describe his tenure at Millwall then Chromey?

I posted various comments from Millwall fans when he left earlier in the thread saying that they were grateful for finishing midteable but the football was terrible to watch.
I was told no-one was interested in what Millwall fans thought.
I agree with what Oxblogger wrote after the QPR game
Can you develop players in that environment? I don't think so.
Will young players get the chance? equally i don't think so

So if you agree that people should keep it civil are you going to say anything to the several people who have been less than civil to me?

I much preferred that free flowing des ball where we lost every week and looked occasionally clueless

Isn't it too early to tell? He's only been here 4 months or so - keep us up is step 1, I would defer judgement on player development/playing style until next season.
If Des was still at the helm, we would have been relegated last month.
What Rowett (and his assistant) has done for the club is nothing short of sensational. Particularly in view of his budget and squad inherited.
Considering there have been games where we literally have found it impossible to get out of our half, ( eg WBA away), the points total post Christmas has been eye goggling.

I spoke to a Millwall fan at the time of Rowetts appointment. His words "he'll do a job for you, and probably keep you up. But you'll learn to hate him and the football he plays."
He's completed the first part, on the brink of the second, and may have triggered a few to the third.
But we have to be realistic about where we are, and what we have at the club. Keeping us tighter at the back, 2 holding in midfield, and (generally) hard working and disciplined forwards, has got us this far.
First 21 games - 18 points 37 conceded
Next 21 games - 30 points 23 conceded
Its not pretty but it's effective and I think we'd all take the second half stretched over the whole of next season.
However, I think it's also fair to say that most would also like us to be a little more adventurous and get a little more of the old Oxford DNA.
But as mentioned before, no one is forced to watch Oxford play and without a temporary stand, demand should continue to outweigh supply. If Rowettball isn't for you, then let someone else take you space and give their full support. It's the least he and the team deserve.

That's certainly true but ideally we don't want to watch a team that can't get out of its half, except by throwing the ball. Hopefully that will come though.
