In a pulsating game at the KasStad this afternoon, United took the lead and then had to come from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Wycombe Wanderers. Chris Hackett gave United the lead in the 18th minute to cap a fine counter-attacking move after Oxford cleared a Wycombe free-kick just outside the United penalty  [ more ]

As derby games go, United versus Wycombe isn’t a particularly significant one. There’s no great rivalry between the supporters, no real history or tradition attached to it, and it’s points rather than pride that’s at stake.

A spectacular overhead kick from Lee Bradbury in the 55th minute sealed United’s win in their first home game of the season against relegated Torquay.

The new season starts tomorrow, with United making the long trip to Grimsby. Last season the sides drew 1-1 in Ramon Diaz’s first away game. The same fixture is, coincidentally, new manager Brian Talbot’s first away game, and a repeat of that result wouldn’t be considered too bad. Talbot has an almost full squad to  [ more ]

United’s reserves went to Worcester City last night and won 1-0, thanks to a strike from wunderkind Billy Beechers. Beechers had come on as a substitute for old man Oldfield with 20 minutes left, and he scored in the last minute. This was United’s final friendly before the real action starts on Saturday, so it  [ more ]

Somewhat later than most sites, we bring you news of Saturday’s pre-season jog around the park with Division 2 side Leicester … United lost the game 3-1, after conceding three second half goals after a hotly contested first half had ended honours even. Both sides looked as though they wanted to compete, and the Yellows  [ more ]

United’s first real test in a pre-season turned up trumps as they beat Division 2 side Brighton and Hove Albion last night by four goals to one.
