The Oxford United players who could reach club milestones next season

JOSH Ruffels’ exit took away the prospect of the left back reaching another Oxford United milestone next season.

James Henry only needs to slightly better this last season and he'd match or overtake 10th spot in the all time goalscorer for the club. The biggest surprise is the 10th highest goalscorer is Matt Murphy, another player that probably got some unfair criticism.

Albeit, James Henry could then get usurped by Matty Taylor.

I think Matt will pass James but James will pass Matt…..alright I’ll get my coat

Matt Murphy had a fabulous scoring record, you'd not see much of him in a game then suddenly he'd appear late in the box, completely unmarked, and score.

He got way more stick than he ever deserved.

It was because he had a weird run.

That half-volley at Reading was good though.

EDIT: Snap @Berliner

didn't Denis Smith sub him about 5 minutes after bringing him on?

Never could understand all the stick he got

I think it was because he was part of the squad through our decline as well which meant some people blamed him as it was easier to do that than the mess we were off the pitch.

He was always a good squad player and from memory gave us something different.

3mins 50. Arriving late, smashing the ball home

He did have a weird run, though.

Not disputing that. Which other Oxford players had weird runs? Dave Langan's was like a cartoon characters when he got in full flight.

Jim Magilton, not so much the run more that his head seemed to be attached by a piece of elastic and bounced around!

But that goal, an absolute screamer

Martin Gray genuinely ran like an angry crab.

Passed like one too

 

[SteMerritt]

Passed like one too

Well that's the goal celebration sorted for when we beat Sunderland next year...

 

[Marked Ox]

Passed like one too

But he tackled like a nutter.

 

[Northstandboy]

I have a milestone for this coming season... the day we announce Season Tickets!

Matt Murphy was a great finisher but not a particularly good midfielder as I recall, didn’t have the passing and crossing of James Henry. Oddly he had almost no career before or after us

 

[Berliner]

Jon Narbett, he was the one who ran with his elbows out if I recall?

 

[Peterdev]

Contrary to many people I liked Matt Murphy. Always thought he could do more but his shooting record was up there with many of the best
