General The "I Never Want To See Them In An Oxford Utd Shirt Again" starting XI

[Steve Gilbert]

Almost right:

DT1
DT2 DT5 DT6 DT3
DT7 DT4 DT8 DT11
Ruben Rodrigues
DT9

Manager of Downed tools 11 is obviously @Leysboy but who manages the 'Never want to see them in an Oxford Utd shirt again' 11?

 

[Paul Cannell]

@greatunclekip , surely?

 

[Eric Blair]

@greatunclekip , surely?

Absolutely 100% yes definitely

 

[Mateo Corbo's Tackle]

Sam Long deserves to be captain of this team given how many times he gets written off. He plays, fans comment about what a solid player he is to have in our squad and always gives a 6 or 7 out of 10 performance, a few days pass without a game and he is back to not being good enough.

Fast wingers like to run at Sam knowing he's not the quickest. He might struggle for 30-45mins but literally every time he spends the second half switching between having them in his pocket, and kicking them into row Z. The adaptability of the guy is something else.
Mason-Clark in the play-off semi second leg is a fine example.

 

[SteMerritt]

I'm calling it. Is @SteMerritt the wittiest contributor to the site? I'm saying yes.

Judging by the lack of 'likes' for your post, I'm guessing not...

I thought this was a historical request so I`ll start easy with...............

Mike Salmon between the sticks.........

GO !!!

Rob Duffy.........Still not over that miss 2007!!!

Andy Burgess, did Jim Smith really play him at Left Back in a playoff semi?

Andy Burgess would start a whole other discussion about players wasting their talent.

Wait, are we listing players that we "Never Want To See Them In An Oxford Utd Shirt Again"
Or are we listing players that other people have said they "Never Want To See Them In An Oxford Utd Shirt Again", but we think it's unfair and uncalled for?

I'm putting Burgess into the first category. Anyone who had an instrumental role in getting us relegated out of the football league should be there by default.

But I'm nominating Matt Murphy for captain of the second category.

Manager of the second category is Brian 'Horton-out'

 

[Sheik Djibouti]

Well if we're going back, then can I offer Jarman, McGuckin and Fear from that abysmal 00/01 season.

What a litany of bobbins those stats make: https://rageonline.co.uk/mainpage/season/43/

Ha. Matt Murphy - worse than Harris.
Never want to see either in an Oxford shirt again.

One of the best left feet I’ve seen on our players. Had insane technique. But zero passion or application.

13th highest goalscorer in the club's history, despite playing most of his games in midfield......

I have a signed Lee Jarman match shirt stashed away somewhere....... I didn`t want it, think somebody sold it for a good cause and I was lured into buying it being all altruistic and that....

That is even sadder than my Peter Fear match shirt. I guess you haven't got it framed, something that size, would require way too much wood.

WTF? Scored goals for fun that lad.

I think you have a small but dedicated following and you’ll only be appreciated in decades to come. You are the Velvet Underground of the Yellows Forum.

Yep, seriously underrated, especially considering some of the utter shite that followed.

38 goals in 169 games from Midfield?!

That's a lot of letters when you only needed four.

I've got a matchworn signed Andy Burgess shirt

At least you didn’t have to wash it, there’d be no sweat on it.

Emilliano Diaz is a shoe in as captain.

Single handedly carried that mantle for years, though thankfully didn't have to face the venom that accompanies such comments nowadays.

Still have a soft spot in my heart for this guy, probably a combination of sympathy for how far out of his depth he was, and his first name.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

Steve Biggins.
Eventually scored probably one of our top 10 goals V Man Utd.
