August 27, 2004Goater Hell
August 25, 2004United lost 2-0 at home to Reading in tonight’s first round League Cup clash.

Oh, ’tis Reading
August 24, 2004Reading return to Oxford tomorrow as, for the second season running, they face United in the Carling Cup. Last season the Royals won 3-1, Oxford’s goal heralding a return to the team for Jefferson Louis.

Two sides to every story
August 21, 2004Oxford went to the two-sided Matchroom Stadium (otherwise known as Brisbane Road) and came away with a point and a clean sheet after holding Orient to a 0-0 draw.

Orient expression
August 19, 2004United play their second away match of the season on Saturday, at Leyton Orient.

All change for United
August 14, 2004United maintained their unbeaten home record this season with a tough-fought draw against Scunthorpe, who saw their 100% record fall despite taking the lead in the 38th minute.

Crozza’s return
August 12, 2004Next up at the KasStad come Scunthorpe United, featuring former United skipper Andy Crosby. Oxford fans will be hoping that the Us don’t concede a penalty. United will be looking to kick on from last night’s win over Mansfield, and the side should approach the game with something akin to confidence. One player definitely out [ more ]
It’s a Mooney birthday
August 11, 2004Birthday boy Tommy Mooney scored his first goal for United to beat Mansfield 1-0 at the KasStad this evening. Mooney was on the end of an excellent ROS Chris Hackett cross after 36 minutes to slot the ball past Kevin Pilkington. Leo Roget was sent off four minutes into the second half, for a foul [ more ]
Meeting Mansfield
August 10, 2004Mansfield Town are the first visitors of the season to the KasStad when they play United tomorrow evening.
