FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.14: WYCOMBE AT HOME Papa John’s Interest still very little. Checked score early on: 1-0 up. Turned radio on with a few minutes to go and from the description of the way the Chelsea kids were playing knew we were losing. Hate the competition but still hate losing any “competitive” game  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.13: CHARLTON AWAY The take-over This has rightly been well documented in the local media and much debated on social media so I’m not going to cover it in much detail. However, I can’t let it go without saying I can’t see how any Oxford Utd fan can be anything but  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.12: MK DONS AT HOME No Fleetwood next week Well luck is kind of going our way with another game being postponed. Given our very poor form and players out injured very good news indeed. Northern Ireland have called up the Cod Army’s Paddy Lane and from OUFC Ciaron Brown one  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.11: PLYMOUTH AWAY No Shrewsbury Since I wrote the last FV our country not only has a new Prime Minister but also monarch with the sad passing of Her Majesty the Queen on Thursday 8 September. I don’t think you have to be a staunch royalist to greatly admire her and  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.10: BURTON AT HOME Wasn’t at the game Still don’t do the Papa John’s as a matter of principle. Can’t be doing with the Big Boys U21s being involved. I was expecting our youngsters to be given a good run out.  Four were but only off the bench which was a  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.9: CHELTENHAM AWAY Going for the record number of injuries? On Friday Karl Robinson was quoted as saying, “It doesn’t look as though any of the injured players will be available for the weekend but the spirit was there and we played well on Tuesday night so we just get on  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – NO.8: CARABAO CUP ROUND TWO Getting worse Our season so far was bad enough anyway and our injury list long enough with Sam Baldock, Josh Murphy, Yanic Wildscut, Marcus Browne and Elliott Moore already on it but now we can add James Henry, Alex Gorrin and Marcus McGuane. Every single one  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – NO.7: MORECAMBE AT HOME Our opponents and other musings Many times we hear “there are a lot of big teams in League 1”. We’ve probably thrown that into conversation ourselves when discussing our division with people who are in to football but don’t really have much of an understanding of what  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – NO.6: LINCOLN AT HOME Poor start? I don’t think any Oxford United supporter has been particularly inspired by our start to the season. It’s better defensively; pretty woeful attacking wise. Bang average at best entertainment wise save for a few inspired moments. Deserved to lose both away games. Only played well  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – NO.5: BRISTOL ROVERS AWAY In, extended and out temporarily With Kyle Joseph joining us on a year long loan from the team we put out of the Carabao on Tuesday night, we’ve now got a striker who is a bit over six feet tall. Karl says he’s got high energy, is  [ more ]
