Too many within our support want him to fail and turn on him at every chance they get.
I think he is doing his best and it's not his fault that the owners are not backing him. He is a real football man with passion and I wish those who criticise at every turn would see its the owners who are the problem!
I don’t think any true Oxford fan actually wants him to fail. Just because some might be vocal now when we’re not doing so well. It’s not like he was getting stick after our first 3 matches when most on here were even contemplating automatic promotion.
I do think you have a point about the owners, something isn’t quite right. Selling Whyte when he didn’t want to leave, for half the clubs valuation! Oh and then suddenly players start signing. Too much of a coincidence in my book. True we did have good money offered for players at least reported in the press.
So I don’t know smoke and mirrors.
KR is a marmite manager. He talks a lot of crap and then next week makes absolute sense.
Personally I think he’s much like wilder in that he’d do very well at a club with a large budget. People loved or hated him too!
In terms of the team we have I think it’s okay. It feels more like Mapps first 10 games where we dominated games, playing some good football but everything the other team hits seems to go in.
I will say i think we’re again paying the price for a team put together late though.
