New season draws closer

Two more of United's opponents have been confirmed for next season as Hartlepool lost 3-1 at home to Blackpool (5-1 on aggregate) and Hull went down 2-0 at Orient (2-1 aggregate) in the Third Division play-offs.

United right back John Robertson is on the verge of signing for Ayr United due to his wife's homesickness with one report suggesting that Michael Renwick might be coming to Oxford in exchange. Meanwhile Ben Abbey has been released by Southend, Brian Wiiiilsterman has been told that Rotherham no longer require his services, Anders Jacobsen won't be playing at Notts County next season and Guy Whittingham, whose one appearance for United justifies his appearance in this list, isn't having his contract renewed by Wycombe Wanderers.
