FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.48 – BARNSLEY AWAY BARNSLEY 2 OXFORD UNITED 0 I really do want to make this a short one. I know I’ve said this many a time only to drone on but this time I’m determined to stick to it. To repeat: this season is doing my ****ing head in. We  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.47 – PORTSMOUTH AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 1 PORTSMOUTH 1 How’s this possible? We’ve now not won in 16 games. We’ve scored one goal from open play during the six games Liam Manning has been in charge and yet I left the Kassam at full-time feeling absolutely elated. It doesn’t make  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.46 – BOLTON AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 0 BOLTON WANDERERS 1 Unless there is a seismic shift in the way we play, especially in our approach and technique when “going for goal” we are going to get RELEGATED. End of. I have to say I absolutely hate it when anyone uses  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.45 – PORT VALE AWAY PORT VALE 0 OXFORD UNITED 0 I could keep this very short and summarise thus: We now know how not to lose. We still don’t know how to win. We now know how to keep clean sheets. We still don’t know how to score goals. Brevity  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.43 – PETERBOROUGH AWAY PETERBOROUGH UNITED 0 OXFORD UNITED 0 This was the best I’ve felt during and after an Oxford game for ages. I felt a real togetherness amongst our travelling fans – all 847 of them which I think was a decent turnout considering where we are league position  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.42 – MORECAMBE AWAY MORECAMBE 1 OXFORD UNITED 1 This is a season almost totally devoid of joy on the pitch. Off the pitch news has been miserable too with Stratfield Brake being declared an almost certain non-starter and despite being told we would be constantly kept informed of progress regarding  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.41 – DERBY AT HOME Where are those straws? Prior to this game logic told me we are going down so I set myself the task of finding a straw to clutch on to but that was like, well, looking for one particular piece of straw in a very large haystack.  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.40 – LINCOLN AWAY The Build Up I honestly don’t know what to make of it all at present. Of course Robbo had to go, no question whatsoever. However until we get a permanent replacement what’s going to change? What will Craig Short and co. do differently? They’ve only got the  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 22/23 – No.39 – BYE BYE ROBBO Below is what I was going to publish. I wrote it on Saturday evening and even though instinct told me I needed to get it out quickly, I didn’t hit the button there and then but waited until Sunday morning to put a couple of finishing  [ more ]
