Mous left last summer?

I think it was around 21st January

The Hamsters - Snail’s Pace Slim, Ms Zsa Zsa Poltergeist and the Rev. Otis T Elevator if memory serves - absolutely superb - saw them many, many times around England.

The hamsters one of the best unsigned pub blues rock bands and slim a top guitarist

What happened on that day? Oh yeah, our last win.

Mousinho was supposedly responsible for set plays, which have generally been of a very poor standard.

Factually wrong. When he left we were the second highest scorers from set pieces in the entire division, and defensively we were something like 6th or 7th. Our set pieces were the only thing keeping us out of the position we’re now in all season. RadOx reported this during their coverage of the Wycombe game a few days after he left.

Erm?
I know this site is often ridiculed, but their hit rate on OUFC related bits is generally quite good.

Just hoping it's a late one from the initial applications/shortlists

What has he achieved exactly?

Interesting theory: A Golden Carrot is a food item and a brewing ingredient, and was added in Java Edition 1.4.2 "Pretty Scary Update" and Pocket Edition alpha 0.12.1. Farmer villagers will also sell golden carrots for emeralds.

Appleton left because Slippery Eales reduced his spend, getting shot of Ashton (iirc) and reducing / removing budget for players (which I know).

I will have a chat with the 'Minecraft' chaps and add "Slippery Eales is an intoxicant parasite that allows customers to play with trinkets while he picks their pockets. Shoot on sight."

So going from an alleged 200k per year to a known 500k had nothing to do with it?. If slippery hadn’t reduced the spend would Mapp have stayed?

According to a stats website, last season Oxford ranked 17th for goals scored from set pieces, although admittedly they were 4th in terms of least goals against from set pieces.

Think we should interview the Italian Stalion. Vincent Viagra, he would keep us up.

 

[Rokerite]

What has he achieved exactly?

He seems to have turned most of the Oldham supporters against him.

Dean Holden, David Unsworth; is there a contest going on for the most unlikely and unmerited candidate for the Oxford United job?

 

[JC_Yellow]

If we appoint David Unsworth, I can only imagine we've had some rejections.

There are so many more qualified candidates.

Desperate would be the word that comes to mind.

It's unlikely to be them, then, isn't it? As I can't see any reason why we'd be desperate. Our job and location are attractive ones.

MApp now evens but what does anybody know

I've heard its Mapp's but until its officially announced take it with a pinch of salt.

Mousinho only took over set pieces this season, so combined with our enormous improvement between July and January it only backs up what an excellent job he did on them.

He's got Oldham to 15th place in the National League with a negative goal difference and divided their support, perfect fit!

According to a stats website, last season Oxford ranked 17th for goals scored from set pieces, although admittedly they were 4th in terms of least goals against from set pipieces.

When did Mous take over set piece training? In the second half of last season we scored a few from corners, including McNally's goal against Ipswich, and three games in a row against Wednesday, Gillingham and Portsmouth.

I don't understand the obsession with downplaying Mous' impact, just because people have to make Robbo look better than he was.

He has been responsible for set pieces for some time now, definitely not just this season.

Don't know baz. But, since the project he'd spent a couple of years on was terminated (i.e. the funding pulled from under him) without the Slithery Perpetrator telling him, he (Appleton) was a bloody sight more likely to leave than continue to invest his time and effort in working without money on a project that required it for a duplicitous, unreliable anguilliform.

As an aside; I can't fathom why some posters on here act as if Slippery Eales was some sort of luvvable rogue, when he was a mendacious adulterer who lost interest quickly once he realised it would cost far more than he'd acquired from Lloyds (while providing an enemy state with a carbon-fibre manufacturing capability) and virtually sending it's (Lloyds') investment arm bust). It's laughable; if only Karl (who can share a tent with Slippery in the 8th circle of Hell for my money) had had the foresight (hah!) to buy a round of 'meat' hotdogs and a pint of Fosters at a couple of matches he'd still be here today stinking the place out worse than the first floor gents at the Bangui Stadium.
