Ex Newcastle and Wolves CB Mike Williamson signs on a 1 year deal. Been with us through pre-season so was always expected. A decent bit of experience to play alongside Curtis Nelson who has been made captain now Lunny has gone.

We may have been interested earlier in the summer but almost certainly not now. We already have 4 CB's, having signed 2 already this summer. We also have Mike Williamson on trial so would imagine we would go for him if we needed another CB.
Oxford City 0 - 3 Oxford United
Joe Rothwell, Kane Hemmings and Wes Thomas with the goals. Young Fulham midfielder Josh Smile and non league striker Sam Shaban on trial. The team fly out to Portugal tomorrow.

Tomorrow is very much a win win situation for us. Would love to see the reaction if Maguire scores an own goal...
We have Shrewsbury on the final day too :2thumb:
I know Lundstram is now suspended but how come Dunkley is too? He wasn't on 4 bookings going into Saturdays game, it was just Lundstram, Maguire and Hemmings wasn't it?
I expect Rothwell will come in for Lunny, which is a decent replacement.
Having no luck at all so far this season, just been confirmed that Curtis Nelson is out for 4 weeks and Christian Ribeiro will be out for a further 3 months. That means in the first few weeks we have had 8 players have to miss games due to injury or suspension
Thought the result was fair.
Enjoyed the game, thought it was played at a decent pace. Thought we looked relatively comfortable until Dunkley had to go off. Long did very well against Ariyibi, forcing him to switch wings. Would definitely like to see a defensive loanee come in though, as we are...

Already mentioned on the rumours thread, but Oxford have signed Dundee striker Kane Hemmings for a undisclosed fee expected to be 250k. Finished 2nd highest scorer in the SPL last season and was nominated for SPL player of the year.
Hoping he has improved from his days at Barnsley.
Correct, the game was played a couple of weeks ago which we won 4-0. Appleton wanted to bring the game forward rather than us play catch up after the JPT final tomorrow.
