United travel back to Lincolnshire for the second time in two away games, this time to face Lincoln City. The Red Imps have been a bit of a thorn in United’s side over the past few seasons, denying the Us a play-off place by selfishly refusing to lose to Torquay two seasons ago, and last  [ more ]

Oxford’s reserves fought out a goalless draw against Southend’s second string at Court Place Farm this afternoon. In hot conditions the reserves looked strong, and had a couple of good chances to win in the last five minutes. Although United’s Chris Tardif was slightly the busier keeper, he was never really troubled as the Us’  [ more ]

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 ]

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. Compared to games against swindon or Reading, there’s no meat to a match against Wycombe, a distinctly low calorie  [ more ]

Tomorrow Torquay United visit the Kasstad for United’s first home game of the season, and a chance for the Oxford fans to have a first glance at Brian Talbot’s new-look side.

It was all thanks to new skipper Chris Hargreaves’ header in the 87th minute, which equalised Tony Crane’s shot in the 62nd minute.

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.
