Does anyone know what’s happening with Luke Harris ? Is he going back?

He went back at the start of Jan, and is now on loan at Wycombe

 

[Some U's fan]

Probably need to cull 20 ish players in the summer if we are serious about a promotion campaign in league 1 .
The current squad are all NON winners & have forgotten what its like to win games of football on a weekly basis .
To achieve a top 2 finish next season we will need 28-31 wins which is a in different direction of travel to this seasons mentality .

I’m not accepting that we’re going down, but looking at the tables Wrexham got top two with 27 wins last season. 21-22 both teams had 27 wins and the year before was 26 & 27. I’d say Blackburn would be pretty unlucky not to come straight back up with 27 wins next season.

Cifuentes played Nelson out of position and hooked him at half-time. Nelson won't be happy. Leicester are in financial trouble with loads of unrest at the club, we should sneak in a cheeky bid right at the end of the January window. Any fee we pay would easily be recouped further down the line. Very unlikely and costly I know, but you have to speculate to accumulate.

Cifuentes is unlikely to be picking the team next week so may mean thats a no go anyway

Thanks

Just goes to show with the right coaching we can go places. Rowett always seem to express the view we could do better. The lads give their best. We will be alright.
There’s a new optimism around the place and it looks like we might just earn a third season in the championship

In the space of 3 weeks our first team coaching has at last joined the twenty first century.
A further improvement would be to move the remaining old guard out or over to the youth team!
Onwards and upwards yellows

Jerome in today's Dub said he wouldn't be surprised if we do "significant" business in the last week of the window!

He said he took him off as he had a knee injury, hopefully not a related issue to the previous long term problem he had.

Obviously a good thing and very pleasing. Does make it even more bizarre what the hell happened in the summer.

Erick wasn't fully in charge, now he is.

I think it was complacency by Tim et al. We stayed up last season, got a couple of decent players in and then they “reviewed” the budget. Decided that they could outperform a KPI by saving some cash.

Four months later, Rowett is basically calling them out, Erick is sat there watching his investment wave the white flag and has decided to go for it.

I think it’s likely that we will have 5 or 6 in the starting 11 who weren’t in August. It’s just not the same team, hence why I’m hopeful of staying in this league.

[Cartman]

I have said it before(Maybe not on here but I drink a lot so may have forgotten haha) our owner imo clearly wants the best for the club. Yes, wants to keep his money flowing as well, but that works hand in hand.

I do see us getting in at least two more players before the window closes.

Sucks Pompey got a point today, but could of have been worse. Gained two points on them and all still to play for.

Damn right as well, being a championship club is worth so much that maybe Erik has decided to speculate to accumulate, he’s backed us massively but the purse strings look like they have well and truly been loosened.

Get 2 or 3 more in and we have a massive chance, I have a feeling Charlton are going to get dragged back in, they have been hammered a fair few times this season.

Maybe was to do with ET now having complete control.

 

[Mateo Corbo's Tackle]

Charlton, West Brom, Portsmouth, Blackburn are all playing below our level right now. And we can push our level. I know some will find form before the season’s out, but I’d back us to survive with five games to go if the points gap was the same, let alone eighteen games.

Bullishness risen.

 

[carefreeoufc]

Need to treat this second half of the season like we're sitting in tenth and on a promotion push. Take that momentum and fight that you get when you are the form team going into the playoffs. I think it was Barnsley under Heckingbottom??? They were struggling in L1 and went on a run to the play-offs and ultimately, the Championship. If we can galvanise this revitalised squad, let's push on now to secure safety. Three points each off of Blackburn, Norwich and Portsmouth will definitely help!!

Well. I'm not quite as old as Plutarch but since I started supporting the U's, when the world was only available in black and white and we played in the Southern League, there have been a few changes.
We are in a different League, indeed been in five different leagues since then. Most of those players are no longer with us, let alone playing. There have probably been a thousand different players, perhaps twenty+ managers, we play at a different ground, there have probably been a dozen or more owners, probably fifty board members, we went from the backroom staff being Ken Fish to a shedful of analysts, coaches, medical staff, physios, etc. We even changed the colours.
And the turnover in supporters is such that there can't be many of us left from the Southern League days.
That's a bit more complicated than Trigger's broom.
Yet somehow MK Dons are a plastic team and we are still a real, breathing, authentic football club.
I don't know how that works, but it does.

Well everyone dies so thats natural, having a football team move 70 miles from suburban south London to a new town in north Buckinghamshire and keep the formers league position is very unnatural. We can’t very well keep playing the reverend and the doctor who started up Headington United but this OUFC is still a lineal descendent of their meeting that day in the Brit, you can’t say that about MK Dons and the formation and the now dead Wimbledon side they replaced.

On a side note I wonder how many of you from the Southern league days are left? You should have your own club, a few extra perks for your supporting longevity.

Yes I’m from the Southern League days, time is passing and Headington Utd / Oxford Utd has been a part of my life always. My family has been a part of the club since 1897 perhaps before. I realise time is getting shorter and the club has been a major part of my life. I really want to see us play at our new ground. I can not speak highly enough of the people who have kept the club going and those who keep the club where it is today. Thank you

1897, that’s some family historical link, fair play. Being nosy was it a player, someone involved in the running of the club etc?
